Spoilers Below:
Okay, like others have said, the CGI isn't great and the acting is pretty bad, too. I could get over that if it wasn't for the bad story.
My problem with the movie is two-fold. First, it's supposed to be based on the actual accounts of real people, but the details provided about the real people, the parts that would be really interesting, are about two characters who die in the movie with no one witnessing their demise, so a big portion of the movie is entirely made up.
Secondly, at a key point in the movie, when you're seeing the ill-fated Dauntless pilot being rescued by his old friend, it's just a fake-out scene. He's not really being rescued at all. It's just his dying fantasy as he slips under the surface of the water.
Those two things: "true story" made up of fabrications no one possibly could have known and a fake-out like the dude is being rescued, both of these make the movie bad.
