Latitude 38 comments pull no punches. The movie can't be any worse than AMELIA regarding trivializing celestial navigation.
For discussion - What would be the best way to perform celestial navigation under pressures of an emergency with no prior knowledge of celestial navigation ? (Sextant, Nautical Almanac, Quartz Watch, Pilot Chart aboard)
I recommend as the minimum:
1. Latitude by Local Apparent Noon
2. Longitude by Timing Equal Altitudes
3. Latitude by Polaris
