If only, he would just electrocute the ocean.

Grabbed some passes just in case I want to go, since they are doing a screening at my favorite local theater.

"Dad can we go?"

 

"*** no I'm not taking you to Spokane Washington on a ****** Monday morning!"

[Blankments]

Picked up two for myself. Always wanted to go to one of these.

[CJohn]

This movie is gonna be good, I can feel it.

 

It will also be the third mega bomb for WB this year, assuming a 100M+ budget, which is likely. 

[Blankments]

Yeah the fact that my area is getting advanced screenings is crazy, and makes me think WB is trying to build buzz everywhere

Just saw this at an advanced screening; will write a full review soon but two points:

 

1. For a movie that had an extra nine months of post-production, the visual effects were shoddy.

 

2. This is gonna bomb hardcore. It'd bomb anywhere, but with Star Wars the week after it, I wouldn't rule out a 65+% drop.

This is pretty much all I want to know.

This got its MPAA rating in September of last year so it's been sitting on the shelf awaiting release since then.

And why is it that it would bomb?

[Blankments]

Here's a review; spoilered for length.

 

In the Heart of the Sea has a terrible first 40 minutes. Like legitimately, I wanted to walk out of the theater after the first twenty minutes, but I decided to stick it out. I was glad I did though, because Howard directs some of the most innovative action setpieces of the year in this. The story is nothing you haven't seen before, but the fact that it's getting made today with the budget this film has is enjoyable in and of itself. That said, I feel like when you delay a movie nine months, the special effects should at least be decent; here they're distractingly bad with the exception of the whale. Going back to that whole "first 40 minutes" thing... I really could not stand anything at the beginning. The forced framing device that really exists just to guarantee a PG-13 rating. Chris Hemsworth's terrible Massachusetts accent. The complete lack of any non-generic character. The bizarre flourishes for style that felt just like trying to be arthouse. But then, after a minor setpiece, everything clicks into place. The characters become fun to follow, Chris Hemsworth stops bothering with the accent and actually acts, and the style flourishes become enjoyable along with some very nice striking cinematography. Unfortunately, as alluded to earlier, Howard misses the mark at points because he's afraid of an R rating for what is really not a mainstream story. I'd love to see what a different director could've done with this material. As it is, In the Heart of the Sea is a fun diversion with nice production value and some really cool scenes, but doesn't elevate to anything more than that.

 

I'd give a 7/10, or a B. Better than Unbroken, worse than Life of Pi.

For what's being marketed as an adventure alternate to Star Wars

our heroes are cannibals and there's a pretty graphic for PG-13 suicide

Well there goes any tiny amount of faith I may have had left in its box office potential. If the OW isn't at least 25m for this, things are going to be very, very ugly for it.
