Herman Melville (Ben Whishaw) hearing the tale of the whale ship Essex, told to him by a reticent Thomas Nickerson (Brendan Gleeson). Melville jots down notes by candlelight as Nickerson recounts the tale of how he and his crew went on a voyage to collect whale oil and ended up lost at sea for months on end after encountering some massive, angry sea beasts. The scenes between the two are stiff and we get no sense of Melville as anything but a guy who once heard a story, then wrote a book that would become the most famous piece of literature in American history. Sounds easy!
Most of the movie’s action is dedicated to Nickerson’s tale within a tale, with Owen Chase (Chris Hemsworth) and his crew mates on the high seas in search of whales to slaughter. Of course they battle big storms and things go terribly wrong, because when have you ever seen a movie on a boat where things don’t go terribly wrong? (Yes, that includes “Boat Trip.”)
There are internal struggles onboard the ship, mostly between Chase and the ship’s captain (Benjamin Walker) and his second mate (Cillian Murphy). There is the story of the young cabin boy (Tom Holland), who after crawling inside the head of a whale (rendered in very gross detail) grows up to be the guy who tells Melville his tale. And then there is that whale, a big CGI creature that creates a whole mess of trouble for the men on the ship.
