Deserved to do better in theaters - this "true story that inspired-Moby Dick" finds the crew of the Essex, a whaling vessel, attacked by a sperm whale and subsequently lost at sea. Much like Master and Commander, the most exciting parts are watching the action at sea. Though it does drag in parts, it has a powerful ending and it is well-cast. Not Ron Howard's best, but certainly worthy of watching.
