Review of In the Heart of the Sea (2015) by Nathan C — 17 Jan 2016

A great story made into a movie that actually convinces.

There are some minor things that could have been handled better. In particular the second half when the stranding is spreading into uncharted cannibalism territory. We are never told what happened between the first case and the final arrival on shore. It could have made for a truly poignant tale of humanity and survival.

Still, not bad overall. Worth watching, for sure. Pity the "whale" is still shown as a lot bigger than it could possibly be. But that is in common to all versions of this story, movie or writings.
