In the Heart of the Sea

"This dramatization of the true events that inspired Herman Melville's classic novel "Moby Dick" has a great cast. Chris Hemsworth, Cillian Murphy, Tom Holland, Brendan Gleeson, and Benjamin Walker just to name a few. Excellent production value and costumes for the time period of the 1820's. Packed with action and harrowing circumstances and some great cinematic visuals of whales, including the massive, vengeful behemoth that inspired Melville's novel. An excellent movie that I finally was able to check off my watchlist. 8/10"

"Excellent movie based on moby dick "

"If anyone wants to see this inspiration for Moby Dick, a Ron Howard production starring 👁🍬Chris Hemsworth👁🍬, it's leaving Max 12/31/23. I liked it fine, however the one noticeable drawback was how much of the filming appeared to be so very close up with zoomed-in shots, so much so that I found it hard to follow what all was going on for a number of action scenes consisting of several individuals on the ship. I wonder what the difference might have been had they zoomed out a bit more for those shots to capture more area? Or maybe something was off with the panning technique? Anyway, something seemed "off" in that regard and I can't quite pinpoint. Sure wonder if others may have noticed similar. (The "issue" I'm speaking of actually appeared to be throughout the whole movie, of which I thought appropriate for some scenes but not all.)"

"Watched this movie a few years ago, and to be honest, it terrified me....... "

"I had heard about this movie in a discussion of Moby Dick, but when I’d read numerous reviews that said it was boring or mediocre, I was discouraged from renting it. The very next day, I was at the library and serendipitously the movie was on the reshelving cart as I was walking by. I borrowed it, and am so glad I did. By no means boring or underwhelming- the adventure and survival tale which inspired Moby Dick is definitely worth watching and inspires wonder in me why there aren’t more movie adaptations of this unbelievable story. Now I’ve added the books written by two of the survivors to my to-read list."

"Really good!!"

"I really enjoyed this moving, I read the book in High School and never really got a proper depiction of the source material until this Ron Howard jem. If you like the book, you'll probably like this movie if not you still may enjoy it's grand scale and scope. "

"Thrilling "

"Ron Howard is a phenomenal director. The movie is based on the book Moby Dick. He does a great job!"
