THE SEA BEAST (Television Release USA 2022)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.7|5.0 Starsììì 

The Sea Beast becomes a movie that does not know where its target is located. This results in a weird presentation so that one ends up with a Moby Dick-type of story in the early part of the film. Then the film seems to be a message movie, then seems to switch even more to something totally different by the end of the film. The animation is good, but clarity cannot be established between the turns in the story due to lack of connectivity.

Maybe. Children may like the movie, but a higher quality watch that can be enjoyed by a family is Pirates of the Caribbean.
