Call me indifferent. As choppy, though not nearly as deep, as the waters in which its characters find themselves stranded, “In the Heart of the Sea” is a pedestrian retelling of a harrowing real-life survival story that served as one of the key inspirations for “Moby-Dick.” Even stripped of the unhelpful comparisons to Herman Melville’s masterwork, however, this account of the sad fate of the Essex — a Nantucket ship that was destroyed by an enormous sperm whale in 1820, and whose crew members were lost at sea for months — generates altogether less suspense, terror and awe than “Jaws” managed with a single Robert Shaw monologue.
