Thirteen Lives: The Ron Howard movie a/b the Thai cave rescue; dumped on Prime streaming?

I watched this movie last night and thought it was one of the best new movies I've seen in awhile. I could honestly see Howard getting best director Oscar buzz, but for whatever reason Amazon decided to put it straight to streaming instead of putting it in theaters after they bought MGM.
Seriously recommend it. It has Colin Farrell and Viggo Mortensen and a very solid Thai cast. Very well made, respectably restrained performances from the leads, and it does a good job of showing how everyone has a role in the rescue.
And cave diving is something I hope to never experience in my life.

Curious about this after watching the Woke+ documentary about it, which I thought was extremely well done. Interested how close they stay to the real story, assuming the doc was historically accurate.

The documentary on Nat Geo with the actual people is really well done

Watched it last night. Thought it was great. Viggo & Colin always do a good job.

Yeah the National Geographic documentary had lots of actual video from the real event. I can’t imagine the movie holding a candle to it… but will watch!

It was in theaters for a week before the streaming release. Not sure the point of that.

I thought it was a great movie.
The rescue of those kids has to be one of the greatest human achievements in modern times, perhaps qualified by some factor.

Watched both over the weekend.
The Rescue doc was better than the movie.
But they did a great job making the movie look almost identical to the real footage.

I watched this over the weekend. Very emotional movie. I cried several times just thinking about the overall stress everyone was under. Incredible story. And that smallest boy- the last one to go- my God I cried the most over him. Trying to find a mask small enough for him got me in the feels big time.
And the rice farmers. They gave up their crops to save these kids.

The best movie I have seen in a long time. Really nice to watch something so close to reality. Underwater scenes were unbelievably done. Definitely agree on your Best Director Oscar buzz. Refreshing to watch something without Comic super heros, wizards, dragons, spells, space fantasies , etc.

Good movie, you couldn’t pay me 5 million a year to cave dive. I got claustrophobic and nervous just watching these guys
Viggo and Collin were really good

Watched it a few nights back and really enjoyed it. Thought it was well directed by Howard and very well done by all the actors.

For someone like me who knows nothing at all about this incident, including how it turns out, is the movie or the documentary a better option?

As a parent, watching the movie was almost unbearable…how can I watch the documentary?
