An excellent cinema experience! 7 and a half rounded up: 8/10. I felt I was transported to the 1820's and beyond. The movie for me captures the time period perfectly as the production and design is meticulous even down to the accents and language spoken. Indeed it was this story which led to the subsequent fictional classic book Moby Dick. That fatal error leads to disastrous consequences. One such company had an important whale hunting expedition but for selfish motives employed an inexperienced ship's captain, whilst the second in command ought to have been in charge.

In around 1820 huge profits were available to shipping companies for catching whales mainly for their sperm. As for example the spectacular ocean scenes are at their best on the big screen.

I am glad to highly recommend the film as the whole production is first class and to fully appreciate the picture better to view it at the movie house rather than the likes of DVD. The latest version, Google Earth 6.2, does not support Mac OS 10.4 and below. This is a high quality sea faring adventure movie, apparently based on a true event.
