Crew?!
What happened to the boats crew? Didn't see anyone of them sailors saved, so i assume they all drowned and nobody cared? I'm appalled...
shareI prefer to think that there was only one functioning lifeboat & the crew took that one, not realizing that the others were worthless.
shareGood point. I forgot about the crew :)

My views on the latest in video games!
Yeah, though about that too. Another thing that bothered me in the end was that there where no force draging the characters down. If a boat sinks a quite big load of water fills the whole, which creates a strong force pulling everything around it down. Especially the count should have been pulled down... But whatever, it was an awesome movie :)
P.S. Sorry for my not-to-good english :P
Well, as they showed, the boat didn't go straight down to the bottom. It went under and leveled off, raising the mast above water. According to the trivia section, the mast of the real boat that sank stayed visible for quite a long time after.

Especially the count should have been pulled down...There was an episode of MYTHBUSTERS a while back in which they took on this concept. They actually sank a boat and sat on it wearing scuba gear and all. They discovered that there wasnt any 'sucking vortex' worth worrying about and safely swam away. I just want to know where the crew went! It shouldnt have been left to the audiances imagination, we want to see the crew take off in the only working lifeboat!! This is cheap, sloppy filmmaking! Give the second unit guy something to do!

Unfortunately, much of the film was sloppy.
shareA sinking ship can cause a suction, but it requires a very large ship to sink very quickly. The three survivors of HMS Hood all agreed that they were being pulled down until an underwater explosion (ammunition on Hood) pushed them to the surface. Hood sank almost instantly.
Radio Rock sank much more slowy displacing air, and replacing it with water in her comparments at a slower rate. Also, it is not uncommon for a sinking ship to do just as shown in the movie. Sink to a certain point not far from the surface and hover there. Sometimes for weeks. If enough trapped air remains in the ship it will find neutral buoyancy. This is how submarines work.
BTW: I wondered about the crew also. I chalked it up to sloppy continuity.

The first thing I thought about during the quite lovely rescue scene was where the hell is the crew? So I came here to be reassured that I'm not the only one who noticed . . . or cared.
Side note: Your English is fine.
So did the writer and director!
Its that man again!!
