In the Heart of the Sea
In the Heart of the Sea is based on the sinking of the American whaling ship Essex in 1820. In the winter of 1820, the New England whaling ship Essex was assaulted by something no one could believe: a whale of mammoth size and strength attacks with force, crippling their ship and leaving them adrift in the ocean. During their voyage, the ship is sunk when it is rammed and split in half by a very large and enraged bull sperm whale, ultimately leaving its crew shipwrecked at sea for 90 days and more than a thousand miles from land.

There's a lot of good actors in this movie, but they're given so little to do besides run around and shout in the midst of splashing waves.December 14, 2015
Warner Bros. would have been better off sticking with the film's original March release date and selling it as a horror movie.December 11, 2015
If the movie accomplishes nothing else, though, I hope it inspires the curious to actually sit down and finally read Moby-Dick.July 25, 2016
Apologies for the fishing analogy, but this is Oscar bait par excellence.February 24, 2017
In the Heart of the Sea is an all-around disappointment. The film suffers from poor direction, an unfocused narrative, and some very underdeveloped characters.December 16, 2015
The vintage grotesquerie of the regular old whaling process turns out to be more disturbing than the dark adventures that are In the Heart of the Sea's reason for being.December 14, 2015
If you want a Ron Howard movie about a man obsessed with a creature from the deep, "In the Heart of the Sea," sadly, is not the place to start. Try "Splash."August 16, 2016
In the Heart of the Sea loses the human intimacy that makes this epic what it is, the resulting movie is nothing more than an empty voyage to nowhere that sinks far more often than it swims.June 12, 2016
It's sturdy, watchable, competently mounted, of course -- Howard is nothing if not a pro -- but except for the visuals, which can be quite stunning, it never roused me.December 11, 2015
There's a hollow at the heart of things, a strange decency and politeness for a film that strives to depict, in epic form, man's dark and visceral struggle with the world and himself.July 11, 2016
In the Heart of the Sea is a big, top-notch adventure story with nothing to say, if that floats your perennial boat.December 12, 2015
If a silent whale is your most magnetic screen presence, he should probably appear for more than a few minutes.
