Warner Bros. would have been better off sticking with the film's original March release date and selling it as a horror movie.

If you want a Ron Howard movie about a man obsessed with a creature from the deep, "In the Heart of the Sea," sadly, is not the place to start. Try "Splash."

If a silent whale is your most magnetic screen presence, he should probably appear for more than a few minutes.

There's a hollow at the heart of things, a strange decency and politeness for a film that strives to depict, in epic form, man's dark and visceral struggle with the world and himself.
Matthew Lickona, San Diego Reader
