Los Ingobernables de Sala de Cine
Every once in a while Ron Howard makes a movie that reminds you, that for all his talent as a director (be it a conservative one), he has a flaw and that is his lack of an edge. Which means that whenever his movies are in dire need of an edge (think of the Dan Brown adaptations), he comes up short. In The Heart Of The Sea suffers from that same problem. It's a movie that starts out as a boisterous adventure on the seas but after the fatal encounter with the destructive whale slowly descends into Heart Of Darkness on the seas. Or at least, it should have because this is where the movie begins to falter due to Howard's limitations. Characters starve and turn desperate and drift towards insanity and inhumanity, and all of it is completely no sold because Howard just can't get a grasp on this madness as he continues to tell the story so politely and safe that none of its horrors hits you in the guts. It doesn't help the whole story is interrupted by scenes of the last living survivor (Brendan Gleeson) telling the story to Herman Melville (Ben Whishaw), which causes you to be pulled out completely every time you almost find yourself willing to submit to the story. Add that it ends on a painfully flat note that misses the boat completely (no pun intended) and the movie as a whole is unfortunately a flat affair.
the fights were boring imo
