Featured review
A very enjoyable nautical story.
The year is 1820, the crew of the Essex, a Whaling ship set off, only to be sunk by a Sperm Whale.
This is a very enjoyable watch, you will no doubt have Moby Dick on your mind, this is a very different kettle of fish.
Excellent special effects, it looks terrific, I'm pretty sure a sizeable budget was required for this.
The acting is arguably the best aspect, the cast are great, the standout for me is Jonas Armstrong, he's excellent.
I bet you'll want to reach for the lip balm after watching this. One thing though, the men's lips got sore, but they must have had a Barbour in the crew as nobody's facial hair or head hair grew an inch.
Very enjoyable. 7/10.
