This is going to be a strange comment, but there goes. I loved the story, and I thought the acting pretty great too. I didn't feel like there were lower keys from any of the cast, and it's really nice when everyone is even and giving great performances. But I did have a problem with the visuals of the movie. It was so perfect, so pretty, the light was just so artistic, that I found it took from the drama they were trying to display. It was just really off, how everything looked so beautiful while everyone was suffering, in pain, hungry, thirsty, afraid. In the end, as hard as I tried focusing on the performance, the background kept reminding me of how unreal the whole thing was. It was distracting and ultimately, disappointing. I felt the experience could have been much better if the visuals were just a little more somber.

I liked the movie but why did they use a green tint? Very strange.

I wouldn't get too excited for the movie. It isn't what is advertised as (at least that's my reaction after watching it). The whale isn't really the plot of the movie. It's more about the hard way of living of the whalers, the trouble they had surviving, etc. 2/3s of the movie were kinda boring to me. The actors did fine but the characters they portrait don't have too much to care for. Overall it was pretty disappointing to me.

"Experience the true encounter that inspired the myth Moby Dick"

A voyage into the historical tragedy that was and to some extent remains 'Whaling'. It's horrendous to think this happened and even worse to think it still does today; sickening. Personally, I cheered for the white Whale, I had no feelings of sorrow in regards the crew, whatever happens they deserved it... so be it!

If you wanted to like this but didn’t, check out Tom Hardy’s Taboo.

No sea shanties :cry:, other than that it's a good movie

We need a Moby Dick near Japan and China Sea to protect the whales (and dolphins) over there, a Whale Avenger!

They said it's fact based movie, and guess what? It is not even bad. + 1 that this time the "monster" wins, it rarely happens, especially when the "hero" commands the action. ;)

I cheered for the whale :woman_shrugging: Felt no emotional connection to any of the characters.

i loved it too much

interesting and exceptional from start to finish. The story is contagious with its demonstration of human and animal pride, survival and psychological difficulties with a touch of overcoming, a great film with a long learning process.

I heard this was supposed to be a "true story." However, I've seen commentaries/semi-documentaries that question the validity of this story. Some even question whether or not the actual size of Moby was exaggerated. I felt that this movie was fair quality. I manage to watch this in 3D, and while there was some good scenes, I expected more special effects. I guess perhaps there is very little you can do, when you have several men literally living in a tiny *ss boat. :laughing: Watch this movie if you just want to see Chris Hemsworth hot body. Other than that, don't expect too much.

A damn fine story. It's not about the whale but about the will of man. I enjoyed it very much and hope you will also.
