In The Heart Of The Sea

Ron Howard and Brian Grazer's latest, In The Heart Of The Sea, is a true life story about an event in the sinking of the Essex whaler ship that helped to inspire the writing of Moby Dick. It stars Chris Hemsworth, Cillian Murphy, Benjamin Walker, and Tom Holland.  Howard and Grazer seem determined to expand Hemsworth's range beyond Thor in their now second collaboration following Rush.  They'd be right, as Hemsworth is an obvious choice in fitting the bill for this role as seafaring whales man.  The rest of the cast is good and it's a great and fascinating story of survival.  The story is like Titanic, told thru the eyes of a young survivor.  What jumps out more to me were the rich visuals in the settings, set decoration/design and the mere story itself.
