it's sad that this movie didn't get the praise it deserves for telling the story of something few people know about & unfortunately was basically swept under the rug even though it was devastating to the families involved & the environmental impact it still has

"You're an 180 billion dollar company and you're cheap" The entire situation summed up in a sentence.

The thing is this movie isn't 100% accurate at this. Except for Vidrine and Kaluza there were others who also did big mistakes. One of them Was Mr. Jimmy. He unfortunately wasn't that innocent like he's presented in this movie.

[@michaelgarcia1000]

More issues than what are portrayed in this movie lead to the environmental fallout. One being that the BOP was a Weatherford BOP that didn’t preform as advertised. A huge component was the administration at the time barring well control units from initially being able to go in to fight and isolate the well leading to the environmental disaster is was

When we went to see this in the theaters, there was laughter in the beginning with the jokes, but once the moment happened, it was nothing but silence with tears for the rest of the movie. They did an amazing job with this movie and honoring those who died on the Deepwater Horizon. One of my favorite Mark Wahlberg movies along with Four Brothers.

Oh absolutely, the beginning lures you in with its humor and light hearted banter and once the switch up happens, it's non-stop. It was incredible how they managed to make such a good movie and still be so respectful!

When this disaster occurred, I always knew about the aftermath. I never knew about the actual disaster itself that set itoff. I’m glad this movie was able to give audiences an idea, of terrifying that was.

It's horrifying to think about the terror those people on the oil rig went through... This film definitely captured that and was still able to be respectful of the event itself, which is so important!

[@glitzgarcia8281]

Same here.. I only heard about how the disaster affected the enviornment and all the marine life being killed by the oil and all the sea gulls covered in oil.. and I remember how the rig sank and how they tried to seal the pipe that was spilling the oil out

Peter Berg needs to continue making “based on true story” movies. That’s HIS genre. Friday night lights. Lone survivor. Deepwater Horizon. The Kingdom. Patriots Day.

I saw this movie on SYFY last month and I was shocked that not one of the oil executives went to jail for criminal and safety negligence charges after the oil rig caught fire and it cost the lives of 11 workers. The oil spill cost $65 billion dollars in damages and that the lawsuit cost over $20 billion dollars.

It’s insane! The negligence cost people their lives and it caused so much damage. You’d think they’d be consequences

[@joshuacoldwater]

@@Joe67343 Intent is proven when you blatantly ignore and disregard safety procedures for ANY REASON. Even if it’s due to your lack of knowledge. In this case it wasn’t, they wanted to finish quicker, cheaper, and make more money. Intent, intent, and intent. This is the reason 3 of these people WERE charged and COULD have had jail time, the reason they didn’t was because they work for a multi-billion dollar company.

[@Joe67343]

@@joshuacoldwater The reason the criminal involuntary manslaughter charges were dropped against the 3 men was because the burden of proof was extremely difficult to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. Prosecutors would have had to prove that they acted with a "wanton or reckless disregard for life."

[@benmason9755]

The guy that Kurt Russell's "Mr Jimmy" has a quick conversation with on the helipad when they first arrive is the Director himself, Peter Berg, who's also a very experienced character actor in his own right, and always appears in small roles in his own films.

[@boyscouts83712]

This is one of my favorite Mark Wahlberg films. I live in Florida and the effect of Deepwater Horizon had on my state and the entire gulf coast

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

It's truly an incredible film! We were so shocked at the devastation this catastrophe has caused, for the environment and for the people. It's truly awful

[@boyscouts83712]

@OfficialMediaKnights Indeed. All because BP wanted to just cut corners and expanded their profit margins

[@fionnmaccumhaill3257]

​@OfficialMediaKnights I work in an industry with one of the highest volumes of on the job deaths. The last job I was on with deaths was the largest job of is type in the western hemisphere, and it had a culmination of 20 different deaths on the job over a couple of years. Most times in my 20 years of experience, deaths and accidents happen when safety is disregarded or comprised because of money issues at the top, just like in this movie. The people at the top put heavy pressure on those below them to hurry up. That almost always comes at the expense of safety.

[@GotWag]

@@OfficialMediaKnights this was less than 5 years after Hurricane Katrina flattened the western MS Gulf Coast (the actual ground zero of Katrina, not New Orleans as the msm reports). To this day there are fishermen/oystermen still being paid by BP for damages, at least in our area anyway. The oil flowed for months into our bays, rivers & bayous.

You guys have become my favorite reaction channel, hands down. You have such good energy, it actually radiates through the screen.

I LOVE Peter Berg movies for THIS VERY REASON. He honors those that are depicted.

[@ControlTouchMaster]

Some of my friends are in that movie. I worked as a pilot for Bristow Helicopters who did the flying and heliport scenes in the movie. The workers at the heliport were the real employees of Bristow Helicopters and friends of mine. PHI helicopters did the actual flying for the real Deepwater Horizon rig and for BP but they refused to do the movie. As such, Bristow Helicopters did the movie. BTW, the Deepwater Horizon rig was not that far offshore. We regularly fly over 100 NM offshore. I’ve flown on occasion over 200 NM offshore. (I’m a offshore helicopter pilot and Electrical Engineer.)

I remember the disaster of Deepwater Horizon because for a few months, a lot of seafood was not available because of the spill. I was a kid, no one told me what happened, all I knew was that I couldn't have shrimp, crab or fish which were my favorite. Another movie you should check out is Sully with Tom Hanks. That's based on a real event.

[@AudioHomicide]

I worked on the class action lawsuit against BP that resulted from this catastrophe. I know this movie focused on what happen on the rig, but what not many people think about are the local fishing businesses that were destroyed by the tons of oil that filled the gulf. Literally thousands of local fisheries and private businesses on the coast went out of business because of this.

[@t.dig.2040]

The dispirsants they used in the "clean up" were far more toxic than the oil itself.

[@flanagamer]

Yep, I lived in FL when this happened, took the tourism industry nearly a decade to fully recover. And BP never fairly compensated businesses either.

[@patrickmaldonado1313]

The crazy thing is the crew of the Deepwater Horizon were well known for their safety record. It was reported that they had not lost any time as a result of personal injuries in 7 Years. And in one night, everything changed It shows how seriously they took the safety of their crew. Thats why many people blame BP for the disaster.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Such a shame! At least the way it was depicted here and by what we’ve read they really cared a lot and put a lot of emphasis on the security of the crew, as you should!

[@Grizzly_6623]

I think part of what makes big time actors work for roles likes this is that in the back of our heads we know that we are looking at people we respect and listening to a story they chose to tell together. It invokes this sort of “the elders are telling a story we should listen” feeling when you have not just famous actors but long respected artists as the face of your film.

I always remember my late grandfather telling me about a similar disaster that happened in the 80s in Scotland. The Piper Alpha explosion was extremely similar to the Deepwater Horizon explosion. He was a rigger too and he'd tell me stories of it. Piper Alpha was arguably worse, as the platforms were all connected. When Piper Alpha exploded, it sent a daisy chain of fire to the connected platforms.

Such an underrated movie. Most people I speak with dont know about it or dismissed it and never watched it. I watched it in my home theater and the sound in insane. The acting and production is a 10/10 IMO

[@windsorkid7069]

Great movie. You two are the first reactors I've seen watch this one. Props to ya!

[@dkev001]

It took almost 3 months to cap that well.

[@spdcrzy]

Oh, man. What a film this was. This and Margin Call are two of the darkest, most accurate, and unnervingly accurate films about their respective disasters.

[@davosglados1727]

First to react to Twisters, first to react to Deepwater Horizon. Ye are trailblazers! Much respect.

[@Sorenhawkbell]

I have been waiting since this movie came out for someone to react to it and express their opinions on it! One of my all time favorite movies that I return to every year, It was done so beautifully.

My dad used to work on oil rigs. Same type as this one. So this movie hits quite a bit different than for most that had no connection with the oil industry. He had his share of scary moments. Btw you two are awesome.

[@AnastasiaArtDiscovery]

Oh my gosh, yes. I have asked so many times for you guys to watch this one. It is one of my favorites, it just so well made.

[@tjjordan4207]

I went to go see this movie in theaters with some friends. Experiencing it on the big screen was something else that no tv could provide.

[@JuliePicraux-cq4bz]

I loved the development of our main charecter. It are a degree of authenticity to the story. Kurt Russell also gives a spectacular performance in this as well as in another film called Poseidon. As well as he did in Tombstone and St argate. Another disaster, true story film is 13 Lifes with giggle Jorgensen that i hope to see you guys do as well. Until then have fun and keep the movies rolling

[@Live4Christ1995]

''Only the Brave'' is another great movie based on real live events.

[@lyssmath3720]

You guys might like the Maze Runner movies. They star Dylan O'Brien and are great movies. Based off of books it was quite cool to see how they followed the books as much as they could. In fact this movie series is the only one that I thought did the books justice. I know they can't include everything but the first movie followed the first book so well. I hope you check out that series at some point.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about this story🙏 Theres 2 other movies Peter Berg did that are both true stories and are well worth watching. Thank you

[@thebrokeartist34]

This film is so anxiety inducing the pressure literally keeps on building and building till it all literally comes crashing down it’s so good and made so well and very effective of showing the aftermath

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

It really does just that! Such effective storytelling. It did a great job driving the point home.

[@purpleYamask]

I really appreciate your choice to cut audio and lower transparency a bit and just leave the memorial in its entirety. Actions like that (alongside a high media literacy and realistic reactions) are what make you two folks one of my favorite channels on the site.

[@SamusV4]

Man that guy in the shower is unbelievably lucky that that piston rod from the engine didn't just go straight through him when it shot through the wall. That was f*king insane.

[@brianfisher4701]

Peter Berg movies are so awesome especially true stories like this,Friday night lights,lone survivor etc.

[@bethcushway458]

Your hair looks gorgeous Denise❤

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Omg thank you so so much ❤️❤️

[@bmriverrat11]

I've been looking to see if any one has reacted to this for Months as far as I know you, guys are the first and its such a well done movie. I hope that you guys opened the gates for this movie.

[@Spartan_1_17]

I loved this reaction so much. You guys experienced the tension and dread just like how I did my first time watching this awesome film, and now I got to re-experience it. The best reaction channel on KZbin. :D The best recommendation to follow-up after this would be 'Only the Brave'. Another based on a true story disaster film with a stacked cast (Josh Brolin, Jennifer Connelly, Jeff Bridges, James Badge Dale, Miles Teller) directed by Joseph Kosinki. It's about forest fires and the brave men who deal with it, focused on a specific group. It's not as tightly paced or tense and has more character drama in it but it's worth the watch. It's also underrated just like DeepWater Horizon.
