Everyone is talking about Gravity (and apparently rightfully so...I still haven't seen it yet) but CP looks to be pretty damn awesome. Hard to go wrong with Hanks as the captain and the Seals fricking up some pirates. Will be checking this one out soon

They had the extended trailer before Gravity. It was one of the only trailers shown in IMAX and it was awesome.

The commercials almost look like they're trying to make you feel sorry for the kidnappers. I hope that's not the case.

just waiting for durantula's review

Many reviews said it was intense and had them on the edge of their seats.

I hate the title.
And I imagine any sympathetic portrayal of the pirates is derived from how miserable an existence they have in war-torn and chaotic Somalia. Piracy is from desperation, etc.

Just got out of it. It was a good movie, for sure. Not as good as United 93 IMO, but similar in its incredibly realistic portrayal of real-life events. Edge of my seat all the way through, even though I knew what was going to happen. . . Judging by many of the reviews on RT, evidently Hanks gave a great performance. I don't see what all the fuss is about in that regard. I mean, he played his part well, but I didn't find anything special about it.
Overall, a great movie and definitely worth seeing! 8/10. I'm finding that this "real-life" genre (for lack of a better word) is one of my favorite types of movies. United 93, Zero Dark Thirty, Captain Phillips, all incredible!

Just got back. Excellent movie.
BTW, they had a preview for Lone Survivor. Can't wait for that one.

Saw Captain Phillips this weekend.
It was as good as Gravity IMO. Lots of suspense. Tom Hanks did a great job as usual. Overall excellent movie....definately one of the best this year.
And no...I did not sympathize with the pirates at all. I don't think it really steers you in that direction. There's about as much backstory on them as the captain of the Alabama in Vermont.
I wanted to hit the guy bitching about union rules and regs though. I think that was intentional.
