3.7/10 by 42 users

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 will, and an almost human sense of vengeance. The real-life maritime disaster would inspire Herman Melville's Moby-Dick. But that told only half the story. "In the Heart of the Sea" reveals the encounter's harrowing aftermath, as the ship's surviving crew is pushed to their limits and forced to do the unthinkable to stay alive. Braving storms, starvation, panic and despair, the men will call into question their deepest beliefs, from the value of their lives to the morality of their trade, as their captain searches for direction on the open sea and his first mate still seeks to bring the great whale down.

In the heart of the Sea: With the Impeccable Performance of Chris Hemsworth & Laudable direction by Ron Howard, here comes a tale about the sinking of the American whaling ship Essex in 1820, where the whale seize the day.

In 1820, when the men used to, kill whale for getting, oil from their body, (disgusting) things turn upside down when they are attacked by the sperm whale which destroys their ship and they are left stranded In the heart of the sea, having no idea, of their position, and with limited amount of food.

The plot & story seems propitious, and it is, but it lacked a bit pace especially in the end, & couldn't deliver a proper climax, still a worth, watch, because survival movies always lacks pace Direction: It was Flawless , Howard, he has been an Oscar recipient, this time let's see, he might bag golden globe at least for this, as this movie, practically used green screens ONLY, it was a very tough job, for the director and cinematographer, to make this movie unrivaled

Performance: It was Chris, who made this movie marvelous and a must watch, his performance to this movie, was phenomenal, if compared. On the other hand Benjamin Walker & Cillian Murphy does well enough Whale: The only reason why we came to this movie, was to see the Whale. There haven't been much movies, to this category, not sensational one though, as this movie shows the whale entirely and periodically, and we are stunned by the breathtaking view of the whale, the design, VFX and largely by photography of the film, which left us dumbfounded

Yes, go for the movie, to see the kind of thing you have never sighted in your life, you will be impressed by the movie, and the whale will stay with you (in thoughts) after the climax.
