The Sea Beast (2022)
7/10
Repackaged Moby Dick for the non-reader generation
24 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
A visually tasty mash-up of Moby Dick and the Dragon movies. Down to the sea beasts having the same faces as the dragons.

I only saw it because my 4 year old grandson desperately wanted to see it but was a scared by the monsters and needed someone to protect him

The colours of the beasts, characters and backdrops are stunning, as are the tall ships, rolling waves and underwater scenes. I was fascinated with the look and graphics, and ignored the flaws in the plot, script and dialogue.

Hollywood finds safety in recycled cliches, in this case the principle beast implausibly falls for a young girl despite she is part of the crew of the ship that harpoons it and we end up with the usual enemies become friends Sorry about giving away that surprise ending.

Ollie soort of liked it despite not understanding what happened and why.
