What a complete dud! Ericson Core tries to reboot Point Break and lands face forward in his own muck. There isn’t a plot to bind the characters properly.

“My soul is dead.” A poetic and arresting take on one of the deadliest fictional water beasts. Nathaniel Philbrick’s In the Heart of the Sea is an entirely different take on Moby Dick, a different vantage that pays tribute to the most beloved tales of all times.

“You are me, and more.” The Good Dinosaur is an endearing speculation on a winsome possibility.
