In the heart of the sea (2015)

Director: Ron Howard

Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Cillian Murhpy

A recounting of a New England whaling ship’s sinking by a giant whale in 1820, an experience that later inspired the great novel Moby-Dick.

Some amazing shots unfortunately does not compensate this film for being slow moving and ultimately quite depressing. I do realize this is based on fact and it must have been depressing for those involved. From an entertainment perspective, it simply is not entertaining. Jumping back and forth in time also kills the suspense. Being a box office flop despite all the big names, i’m sure I’m not the only one feeling this way…
