Title: Not as bad as you would think
Review: This modern retelling of the classic Moby Dick is a bit cheesy. The problems have more to do with all the information we now have about whales. The writer had to create a super monster that would never act like a whale. So they made it a combo between a shark and a whale and used recent stories about a humpback whale breaching that took down a small boat. The acting is fairly good a nice combo between the book and Crimson Tide. The problem becomes when they get to an island the story quickly becomes a unreal unstoppable monster against humans movie. It can breach onto land and crawl around can take gun fire and a rocket powered harpoon. Finally they nuke the island, which being so close to Hawaii would cause people to glow in dark and the scientist survives we presume to get cancer later. The whale survives to kill again. This would have been a much better story if they had done it on another planet, it just doesn't work as a modern retelling.
