The picture is a fine as well as free adaptation of the famous novel well scripted/adapted and ably realized, though full of computer generator FX. Yet another take on of Melville's classic battle of wills story described on the book titled "In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex¨ by Nathaniel Philbrick, being well written by screenwriter Charles Leavitt. Based on a true incident inspired Herman Melville's "Moby Dick". He has a self-destructive obsession to hunt the white whale, carrying out obstinately his revenge and determination to seek avenge on the beast that destroyed his crew and ship.
Pollard, subsequently, consecrates his life to hunt it, full of hating and vengeance. They are attacked by a huge Cachalot that causes destruction and wreck havoc. Both of whom meet a motley crew formed by two-fisted sailors as Caleb Chappel (Paul Anderson), Henry Coffin (Frank Dillane), Richard Peterson (Osy Ikhile), Benjamin Lawrence (Joseph Mawle), Ramsdell (Sam Keeley ) and Matthew Joy (Cillian Murphy), among others. It starts in New England, where an expert officer and harpooner signs aboard the whaling ship along with rookie captain George Pollard. This oceans saga features some survivors of a lost whaling ship and relates the tale of a white whale as well as the captain Pollard's obsession with desires for vendetta upon the greatest animal. In this extremely loose adaptation of Melville's classic novel, George Pollard, Ahab-alike, is revealed initially not as a bitter and revengeful madman. Based on the true story of the ship Essex, a whaling ship that was attacked and sunk by a sperm whale in the southern Pacific Ocean in 1820. Fine rendition freely based on Herman Neville novel : ¨Moby Dick¨, with enjoyable interpretations from all-star-cast. Agreeable retelling, vividly played, in which a Captain called Pollard (Benjamin Walker, though other actors that were considered included Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston, and Henry Cavill) and a tough first officer, Owen Chase (Chris Hemsworth) command a surly ship of whale hunters through sheer ruthlessness and ego.
