Chris Hemsworth Stars "In The Heart Of The Sea"

[Slushy]

The Patrick Stewart version was awesome.

 

[DarkKnight]

There's no way a sperm whale can grow that big...

Someone named Napoleon with size issues..... hmmm..... LOL
couldn't help it!

God. That poster gives me anxiety.

Oh.

My.

Gosh.t:

This is how cat fights break out. Everyone duck and cover!

Of course there's artistic license (and judging by the trailers, the size of the whale in the actual movie is more like that of an actual sperm whale). But, the purpose of a poster is to try and sell the movie/get people's attention. And this thing, along with the "look how much bigger that whale is than the boat" one from months back, certainly do that.

Also, the whale that sank the Essex was supposed to have been unusually large and powerful. Not THIS large, but still really big.

The Patrick Stewart version was awesome.

And what about the Gregory Peck version!

 

[Silvermoth]

At least he's not stupidly big like the moby dick in the movie 'dot and the whale'

I don't really mind tbh. He's meant to be a big sort of character

 

[DarkKnight]

Watched the trailer again today, This movie looks to be visually stunning! I'm definitely going to give this movie a fair chance!

The poster is just for dramatic effect, not to be taken 100% literally.

Yes, the same thing was with Godzilla last year.

[I SEE SPIDEY]

So far the film is not looking like another "Rush" review wise.

 

[Silvermoth]

I hope they're being meaner than usual. I want a sequel to this. I need more Dick.

Don't we all.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Just watched the movie. Loved it. Every bit of the movie with a great fulfilling ending.

 

[terry78]

Caught it with the old man today. I can kind of see why they kept postponing as it's a decent story, but the execution doesn't really work. Had no idea Benjamin Walker was in this, and after seeing it I still want him as Shazam, he's got that squinty eyed square jawed look in a couple scenes that nails it. The only thing I really liked was how Howard shot it, as every other shot looks like one of those paintings from the early 1800s.

 

[Schlosser85]

My review:

In the Heart of the Sea has rousing moments, but its fairly slim two hour run-time seems insufficient to properly develop everything onscreen, which has a feel of rushed shallow development, and especially in the sluggish second half, it does little to set itself apart from various other movies we’ve seen with similar “stranded at sea” survival story aspects. Fans of high seas adventure may find enough here to wet their appetite, but there is the sense that the movie scratches the surface and skims over a potentially deeper and more powerful and compelling tale. The sinking of the Essex may have inspired one of the great American novels, but at least as brought to the screen here, this pedestrian retelling of a harrowing true survival story doesn’t leave as lasting of an impression.

I just think Chris Hemsworth was the wrong choice as the leading man. Not saying he's a bad actor, but I don't think he quite fit into the mold of the Owen Chase. Also a very shaky accent similar to his turn in Blackhat.

 

[Schlosser85]

I thought Hemsworth was one of the movie's better aspects, personally...

Although I agree with the shaky accent.

 

[Mr.T]

Wife and I saw it today. It was a decent movie. I knew it was going to be based on the story Melville used to write Moby Dick, but had no clue it was actually going to be Melville getting the story. Acting was decent from the entire cast throughout the film. Hemsworth was good. 6.5/10

 

[Silvermoth]

Oh dear these reviews aren't great. Maybe I better not see it after all

Who would you have cast in the role? I thought Chris did great.

 

[GR8GODZILLAGOD]

The film is set to make an $11 million opening weekend. Ouch.

Man, WB is not having a good year at all.
