Top Critics Reviews

The vintage grotesquerie of the regular old whaling process turns out to be more disturbing than the dark adventures that are In the Heart of the Sea's reason for being.

Warner Bros. would have been better off sticking with the film's original March release date and selling it as a horror movie.

If you want a Ron Howard movie about a man obsessed with a creature from the deep, "In the Heart of the Sea," sadly, is not the place to start. Try "Splash."

If a silent whale is your most magnetic screen presence, he should probably appear for more than a few minutes.

rotten:
There's a hollow at the heart of things, a strange decency and politeness for a film that strives to depict, in epic form, man's dark and visceral struggle with the world and himself.
