Foreign Box Office: ‘In the Heart of the Sea’ Off to Rough Start

still VERY curious to see this. Sadly, most likely, won't make it to the theater, though I really should. Definitely one to see on the big screen

This looks pretty cool. Plus the weight Hemsworth lost to make this is incredible.

It's "middle-whelming", not that good, but not worthless either. I think the real story of guys spending 3 months in rowboats eating each other would have been too much for the audience, so they had to dress it up with plot elements not in the book and make the starvation and cannibalism just a small part of the movie. The digital animation of the ocean and the big whale isn't that good and gets worse in 3D. The book was interesting, but the movie is disappointing.

It looked disappointing. I don't see how this movie got made, outside of Howard pushing it as a passion project.

I just never heard of anyone crying for a movie adaptation of Moby Dick (...or based on the events that inspired yadda-ya).

Disappointing... Everything seemed "almost good", except the scrip,that was completely awful. There is a good movie somewhere inside this, but Ron Howard didn't find it.

excited to see this one

I like Ron Howard and was looking forward to this, but it looks like he failed to deliver. However, I'll still give it a shot.

I am surprised that Howard didn't make Moby-Dick, which is in need of a decent modern remake I think. I saw a bit of the William Hurt version and although I like him as an actor, I couldn't see how he matched Ahab in the novel; Gregory Peck was awesome.

Not only that, there was a TV film about the Essex made a few years ago.
