The highly engaging period drama titled “In the Heart of the Sea“, featuring actors like Cillian Murphy and Tom Holland, is set to depart from a UK streaming service within the next month.
The 2015 movie, helmed by Ron Howard, narrates the true story of the Essex whaling vessel that sank in 1820, a historical event serving as the foundation for the happenings in Herman Melville’s timeless novel Moby-Dick, published in 1851.
Featuring an impressive ensemble that includes Chris Hemsworth and Ben Whishaw, this period drama can be streamed now in the UK and Ireland via Amazon Prime Video. However, fans should hurry as it will be removed from the platform within the next 30 days.

The movie, unfortunately, didn’t perform well at the box office as it couldn’t recoup its production costs. It also garnered varying opinions from critics, with a Rotten Tomatoes approval rating of 42% based on 237 reviews, indicating a somewhat divided response.
The classic film “In the Heart of the Sea” is praised for its careful storytelling along with its impressive visuals, but it doesn’t quite achieve the complexity or grandeur that it seems to strive for according to the site’s general opinion.

According to Screen International, the classic, nostalgic atmosphere of this retelling of Moby Dick’s origins helps prevent it from sinking into obscurity. USA Today, on the other hand, found it to be deeply engaging and beautifully filmed.
The Financial Times described it as a classic Hollywood movie in every way, overflowing with grandeur, resonating with confidence and talent (not just famous stars, but also those whose voices and appearances leave lasting impressions).

The critic found the film, titled “In the Heart of the Sea“, promising yet imperfect. Despite its capacity to captivate, it continues to grapple with its dramatic contrivances, making it difficult to rise above them.
If you’re looking for another movie to watch on Amazon Prime Video, don’t go any farther! You might want to check out “Flight Risk,” a nail-biting thriller starring Michelle Dockery that recently climbed the charts on the streaming service.
