Направили са "политически коректна" версия, която няма много общо с духа на книгата. Ето и две мнения от IMDB:"It seems that each filmed version of Moby-Dick is compelled to be worse than the one before" и "Two earlier versions, the 1956 version with Gregory Peck and the 1998 version with Patrick Stewart, despite their own flaws were much better movies and more faithful adaptations of the novel than this one. So watch those, or even better read the book."
