How come we dont get any boat kino anymore?

I cant think of a single film in the past 5 years that has to do with ships or the sea

The sea has really faded from popular imagination except in the context of historical stories. To the normie the sea is something they fly over while binge watching tv shows. Down there are cargo ships crewed by low paid third worlders that bring us all the junk they sell on amazon.

Still no sci fi movie about a boat in an alien sea
No Bizantine whale kino
No Lepanto battle movie
No marines vs barbary states movie

Occasionally they run into a bridge and cause it to collapse

I wonder what kind of freaky shit we would be able to see if the oceans were completely transparent

Imagine boning in the drake shake

>>214050561
Kill switches have existed forever, if you aren't smart enough to have that or a line tied to you and you decide to solo sail and climb up where you can slip off, it's entirely your fault. Really shitty way to die. Imagine popping back up and seeing your boat zipping away leaving you stranded.

These all sound watchable.

This is what is needed right now.

People will show up for 'boats'. It would be a fine replacement for cape-flicks, and it wouldn't all be bound up in existing franchises so we'd see more creativity as well as profitability. CGI is at the level where it can be made more cheaply without looking cringe. And it doesn't need to be literally 'boats on the ocean', it works for spaceships, it works for Polynesians on canoes, it works for drama on a cruise ship, obviously war movies, it just works in a lot of ways.

The core is that it's a tight-knit community whose home goes on adventures with them. Gen Z men will show up for it.

FUND IT

>Drake Shake
I remember when the Drake Shake was just a black fella' holding me upside-down off a fire escape trying to collect his money.

>>214050601
The captain's rant before the shipwreck was impressive as fuck, and the ending, oh god the ending. Pure kino.

The Terror's poster is an almost 1:1 of the painting of the Defiant's situation. Is it about that?

filming on the ocean is notoriously difficult

>>214051104
American cargo ships employ Americans, it's called the Jones Act. The reason it isn't shown often is it's boring. Unless you're setting up a horror or disaster flick, it's just dudes sitting around eating, shitting, and some of them vomit when the seas get too bad.
We have the whole charting and plotting and radar thing down pat, we know nothing happens, no one really disappears without a feasible explanation, the age of mystery is just sort of over. So you either do a historical or a horror show of some kind.

I'm about as far away from a badass as it gets but that doesn't look that bad unless you're seasick. Sleeping in it might suck though, prob have to strap yourself down.

>>214051856
Sleeping is easy when you're seasick, you can sleep for like 20 hours straight in bad seas. When the seas get rough everyone is just asleep except the on call watch stander who is throwing up and lying down on the floor moaning.

Whoops, I meant the Resolute.

Greyhound technically 5 years and 1.5 months kek

Ma worked on a cheap-er cruise line back in the 80s, every trip out at least two or three people would go overboard, usually drunks in the middle of the night, and they always got left behind
I wonder how quickly falling 100+ft into literally freezing water sobers you up, prolly just quick enough to realise nobody's coming to save you before your muscles lock up from the shock and you sink like a stone

>>214052042
There's realistically no chance your average or even above average swimmer can last more than a few minutes in open ocean. If you're not seen going over, you're not gonna make it.

>>214052042
There's no way 2 or 3 people were dying every single cruise. Your mother told you a fib.

>>214052209
I would simply swim to the nearest land

>>214052325
I meant more like every time she went out, not weekly

>>214052325
They literally do, cruises are full of old people who die and they shove them in the walk in freezer until they get home.

>>214052042
"Gullible" is written on the ceiling above you

>>214052523
Elderly people dying of natural causes is an entirely different matter from 2-3 people falling off the ship every cruise. There would be a literal inquest my dude.

Five seconds of searching show 200 people die on cruises per year. Meanwhile:
>The global cruise industry welcomed 34.6 million cruise passengers in 2024, with 37.7 million expected in 2025. North America remains the top source market for ...

So you can fuck right off with this nonsense.

It already peaked 20 years ago.
