![]() The survivor telling the tale, Thomas Nickerson (played by Brendan Gleeson as an old man and Tom Holland as a Young one) began his story by telling us it was about the Captain and his first officer (played by Chris Hemsworth), and for the most part the movie was about how these two different men, from different social classes operate a ship. ![]() I would say the real issue is that since they are advertising the movie as the story that inspired Moby Dick, you would expect more whale than we actually got. ![]() They even get into how a whale is hunted and then gutted for oil, which won't make any PETA supporters happy. From director Ron Howard showing us how to sail a ship, to the epic standoff between man and the world's largest mammal. I found it pretty jammed packed with big adventure. It sounded like the best and only action sequences could be found in the trailer, but that was not the case at all. I heard In the heart of the Sea was not action packed enough. Based on the story that inspired Moby Dick, its novelist, Herman Melville seeks out the survivor of the Whaling ship Essex to have him tell the tale of the white whale they encountered. ![]()
