Il 20 aprile 2010 sulla piattaforma trivellatrice semisommergibile Deepwater Horizon, situata al largo della costa della Lousiana, 126 lavoratori si sono trovati immersi nel peggior scenario possibile: una devastante esplosione, che ha causato un inferno di fuoco, undici vittime e uno sversamento di greggio nell'oceano riconosciuto come il più grave disastro ambientale della storia. Mentre le televisioni di tutto il mondo si sono concentrate per mesi sulla portata del danno all'ecosistema, il film di Peter Berg torna sulla piattaforma nel Golfo del Messico (ricostruita, poiché la British Petroleum si è ben guardata dall'offrire supporto alla produzione) per raccontare la giornata degli uomini e dell'unica donna sulla Deepwater, la lotta strenua per la sopravvivenza e gli atti di estremo coraggio che si sono verificati in quell'occasione. Il risultato è un disaster movie avvincente e intelligente, che ha saputo indovinare la giusta dimensione, un equilibrio riuscito tra dramma umano e componente spettacolare, e nel quale non c'è spazio per la vaghezza tecnica e logistica che in molti blockbuster funziona da alibi e da riempitivo. Oggettivando il pericolo sempre in agguato su questo genere di impianti in una serie di piccoli contrattempi che si rivestono così, automaticamente, della suspence del presentimento, e presentando la forza d'animo dei personaggi che lavorano sulla piattaforma come una verosimile qualità di partenza, quasi una dote, che si portano dietro per necessità oltre che per virtù, Berg prepara con cura il terreno per l'esplodere dell'imprevisto come una catastrofe annunciata ma anche come un campo di guerra, dove regna il cameratismo e un senso di condivisione della sorte. Deepwater non racconta, perciò, la vicenda di un uomo ordinario - Mike Williams, capo tecnico elettronico della Transocean - alle prese con una situazione straordinaria, o lo fa solo in apparenza, mentre racconta in realtà di un uomo e di un gruppo di persone dal coraggio quotidianamente straordinario, tali da meritare che le loro gesta riempiano un film e che tale film non sia frutto di un romanzo di fantasia sfrenata e catastrofica ma di una serie di dettagliate interviste ai protagonisti e contenga perciò una dimensione di realismo che si fa apprezzare. Un buon disaster movie, dunque, che poggia su basi tragicamente reali, che non sbandiera istanze generiche né gronda retorica (eccezion fatta per il finalissimo, più a rischio in questo senso). E anche un film sulla responsabilità e le sue due facce: quella penale, di chi ha preso rischiose scorciatoie in nome del profitto, e quella morale, di chi, invece, non si è affrettato ad abbandonare gli altri alla comoda speranza di un colpo di fortuna.

The keyboard on the desk at Ensign's desk features the Windows 8 logo, which was released in 2012, two years after the Deepwater Horizon disaster. <br>------------------------<br><br>The word Mississippi is misspelled on the graphics of a news report aired on TV which Felicia Williams watches. <br>------------------------<br><br>At 13 minutes in, when Mr. Jimmy is in the helicopter on his way to the rig, he is seen reading a weather report. As the camera pans onto the report, the heading on it is misspelled "Weater Report". <br>------------------------<br><br>Spelling mistake of TRANSOCEAN on the cap that Andrea was wearing at the beginning of the movie. <br>------------------------<br><br>When Felicia is talking on the phone after first learning about the disaster, her nails are painted pink. Just scenes later, her nails are unpainted. It's not impossible, but did she give herself a manicure while waiting to find out whether her husband was alive or dead? <br>------------------------<br><br>When Vidrine describes the "bladder effect" to explain the bad result of first test on the well, parts of the drawing on the white-board disappears at changes of camera angle. <br>------------------------<br><br>Camera shadows visible on the actors during the evacuation. <br>------------------------<br><br>Survival courses attended by oil rig staff every so often teach a special technique for jumping into the water. The life jacket should not be worn, but held in hand. This is to stabilize the body during the fall and to avoid being decapitated upon entering the water at great speed. The life jacket floats near the point of impact, and the jumper will normally emerge close enough to it to don it inside the water. <br>------------------------<br><br>Contrary to popular belief, oil is not made from dinosaurs. Hydrocarbons like oil and gas were created from various forms of biomass, and not from dinosaurs. Hence you would not have dinosaur teeth appear on the surface while drilling in an oil reservoir. While dinosaur fossils have been found when retrieving rock cores to investigate the subsurface, this is pure luck, and unrelated to the presence of an oilfield nearby. Any such fossils would be crushed by the drill-bit during normal drilling operations, like the one depicted in this movie. <br>------------------------<br><br>Just before the onset of the blowout, visiting BP staff are seen wandering around the derrick floor in their smart shirts. Ths is a major breach of safety rules. No one ever steps on a derrick floor without protective equipment. Similarly, Andrea should have permanently donned a coverall. And Mr Jim would normally, before anything else, don his coveralls upon disembarking from the helicopter. <br>------------------------<br><br>During the movie, there are several views showing the seabed and the BOP stack. Some gas bubbles can be seen escaping from the ground. As the movie proceeds, the gas bubble release intensifies. This is impossible as the only path to surface from the reservoir is through the various casings and the drill pipe, and up the riser. For gas to escape at the seabed, there should have been more than one failed cement job or casing failure. The reservoir is self contained in impervious rock far below the seabed. No path outside of the well bore for gas to escape. <br>------------------------<br><br>It is usual for crew boarding a helicopter to fly over water to wear a life jacket. Depending on season and place, this may also mean wearing a survival suit. <br>------------------------<br><br>When the Emergency Disconnect Sequence is attempted from the bridge, closing the BOP shear rams to cut the drill pipe and disconnecting the Riser from the BOP, the crew check the blown out well for any change in the fire or flow intensity for an indication of positive outcome of the BOP closure and successful disconnect. Given that the BOP is at the seabed, and the Riser and the drill pipe above the cut and disconnection are full of hydrocarbons up to the surface, it would have taken hours for the blow-out and fire to subside. Therefore, in such a situation, you activate your emergency shut down, and you leave the vessel as fast as possible, hoping for the best. <br>------------------------<br><br>When sitting in the Sikorsky S92 there were regular conversations, this is due to the engine and rotor blade noise in reality hardly possible. Passengers were not wearing any hearing protection only when they exited the S92 on the helideck of the Deepwater Horizon.Also during passenger entering and exiting of the S92 on the Deepwater Horizon both parties were on the helideck. In reality this would never happen. It's very dangerous on a helideck when the helicopter is still running it's engines and rotor blades turning. Therefore it's procedure first to exit the passengers and then have the other passengers to enter the helicopter. Also It's hardly possible to speak under a helicopter with running engines and rotor blades. <br>------------------------<br><br>The Damon B. Bankston is owned by Tidewater, Inc but the OSV used in the film is actually a Hornbeck Offshore Services boat. In one shot, you can see the HOS logo on the starboard side of the deckhouse. Also, Tidewater boats have a blue hull but the vessel in the movie retains the HOS black hull, albeit with a Tidewater blue pilothouse visor. <br>------------------------<br><br>During the movie, several views are made of the moon pool, where the riser top is supported by the Riser Tensioner cables. On a Semi Submersible rig, the Riser is anchored to the top of the BOP, on the seabed, and thus fixed with regards to the floating Rig. When the Riser is connected, the compensators hold the Riser via the Riser tensioner cables. The Rig is floating, following the heave. During the shots from the moon pool, you can see the cables holding the riser, but everything is absolutely still. <br>------------------------<br><br>A door hitting a man hard enough to knock him across a room and through a wall, and send the door with him, would break most of the bones in his body, and give him a severe concussion. <br>------------------------<br><br>
