Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Konterr Brilliant and touching

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

calorne There was no spirit to this film. It was watchable, but not in any way compelling. If the intention was for viewers to feel some emotion with regard to what was said at the inquiry at the end then the film did not achieve that aim in my view, as it made no difference to me either way.For a far better tale of fishermen in the relatively recent past I would suggest Perfect Storm which drew me into the story completely.

OneEightNine Media Epic. Grand. These are just some of the words you can use to describe this film. I went into this literally knowing nothing other than it has that guy who plays thor in it and there is a boat. And water. Lots of water. An as I recall the marketing didn't give anything away but this film didn't do so well at the box office when it came out because it was one of the movies North Korea leaked that year. But yeah, telling you what it is about will spoil the experience a little because the subject matter is well-known but I will say this: the film is a realistic take on a classic. If you're into great ocean epics, you're going to love this.

emilywes56 It seems there is a misleading here. This movie is not based on the classic book of Moby Dick, but on the book that was published in 2001, called "In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex". I really enjoyed the movie, but it has nothing to do with the story of Moby Dick. It is a bit of a fraud to be honest. Someone just published a similar story like Moby Dick with another name and of course not the same context (Moby Dick is superior and one of the best books ever) so that they could present us a movie with happy end, likable characters etc. For me, this dishonor the writer of Moby Dick, Herman Melville. The movie moved me and I really enjoyed this story, I loved how nature is depicted and that for once again humans are greedy creatures that do not respect other beings. But that does not change the fact that director wanted an easy movie, and not one that would be based in the ruthless reality about sea, nature and man.

Francisca silva irarrazabal Why the hell would anyone want to make a movie about how these stupid men try to kill one of the most beautiful creatures that existed The planet and are about to get FUC**NG extinct?? like what the hell......this happened about 100 years ago, and they made a movie about this!? why??? It's disgusting and horrible to see how this peaceful animals get killed... they were at the border of extinction for the freaking oil.. for humans... what the hell seriously. I saw a part of the movie, the whales were all together swimming around this freaking monsters just being beautiful beings... there was even a baby whale... i mean why putting a baby whale (even if it's by freaking computing animation) whats the point of that? ... just bad. bad movie
