Dafini MartinsNovember 17, 2025I enjoyed the film from beginning to end. Even knowing the story, the film is about a survivor and their difficulty in coming to terms with the history that had been hidden until then.

Carissa_SaundersJanuary 25, 2025Based on the novel of the same name, the film chronicles the rise of the whaling industry in the early 19th century. Directed by Ron Howard, it faithfully recreates this era with a straightforward narrative. Using a retrospective framing, the film transforms into a story steeped in heroism.

Pablo LecotNovember 16, 2025
Pablo LecotNovember 16, 2025Esta es una reinterpretación de Moby Dick, la novela del brillante escritor estadounidense Herman Melville. En la versión original, una ballena blanca, enfurecida tras ser herida varias veces por balleneros, se rebela y los aniquila. En esta versión, los espera para vengarse de las numerosas ballenas asesinadas sin piedad para la producción de aceite. Inteligente como una ballena, se deleita, sin exagerar, con su venganza. La actuación de Chris Hemsworth es cautivadora y auténtica en una película con una fuerte carga moral y muy entretenida. ¡No se la pierdan! ¡Espectacular!

CORNÉLIO-1February 8, 2025Apesar do carisma de Chris Hemsworth e de um sólido trabalho em equipe, o filme não consegue ter um impacto emocional. Embora descreva vividamente as provações de seus personagens, suas práticas brutais de caça às baleias provocam mais condenação do que simpatia.

Aunque presenta claramente los problemas de sus personajes, sus prácticas brutales para cazar ballenas generan más condenación que simpatía.
