As a sailor, I was excited for this movie but it disappointed me. I do not get why the writers decided to take away one of the major parts of the experience: Having almost no connection to other humans at all. In the movie Jessica uses her phone all the time- and has enough internet connectivity to even stream video in one of the most remote oceans of the world. In 2009 - where even today you wait minutes to get simple weather data.
I laughed at the scene where she was taking her mainsail down with bare hands like it was nothing in a huge storm, which magically tightens itself up while she gets washed overboard. For sailors, this movie has a lot of these moments to be amused about.
