And the award for most inaccurate movie advertising goes to...this movie. From the trailers, I thought this would be a big epic with lots of adventure. What I got instead was one of the most boring movies of 2015. (I know it's 2016 at the time of writing this review, but this film was released in 2015.) I thought Chris Hemsworth would at least be able to save this film, but nope. While his acting isn't terrible, he does have inconsistency in his accents. 1/3 of a sentence will be Austrailain, the next 1/3 will be British, and the last 1/3 will be American. (And not even necessarily in that order.) It's very distracting. I can see why the story of "Moby Dick" had to be changed and exaggerated, because no one would stay invested if this was the story that was published. This movie is a huge snoozer.
Grade: D. 6/10. 2/5 stars
