Why was this panned?
I watched this last night on HBO and I thought Ron would have focused a bit more on the Whale attacking the Essex and the Whale following the boats and the strain between Chase and Pollard instead of them being stranded at sea. I thought it was brilliantly acted, beautiful cinematography and the story was very emotional and I really liked the film though.
Some critics are just so harsh.
I'm going to buy it on Blu Ray to watch the extras.
Chris Hemsworth as a serious actor was not only beautiful to look at, but he can really act and he was the right choice. Cillian Murphy could have had more screentime, same as Paul Anderson because they're both brilliant actors, but this was the first time I saw Tom Holland besides his Spidey role in CW and he was great. Sorry I missed this in cinema.
Oh and the actor who played Coffin, I think his name is Dillane? He was also good. Great casting choices all around, too many to compliment.
