Review of In the Heart of the Sea (2015) by Spencer K — 19 Mar 2016

This had some real promise with Ron Howard directing and a very solid cast and I was also interested in seeing the story of Moby Dick being retold on the big screen again, but this ultimately disappointed me.

while its admirably old fashioned and has some great storytelling, and the whale looked amazing, it ultimately fell short of being truly captivating or great. Chris Hemsworth was just alright, it's very slow at times and don't go in expecting a movie about a huge whale absolutely destroying these sailors.

the whale is barely in it and doesn't show up for a good while into the movie. overall, just an okay movie that could've been so much better.
