Welcome to JL's film reviews page. JL has written 2 reviews and rated 3 films.
From what is a very good book to read, this film was a marked disappointment. Mr. Harris as Captain of this vessel was as jarring to watch as his name suggests, whilst several scenes were extended to such a degree that they became boring.
Both my wife and I have enjoyed much of the work of Mr. Cumberbatch but not this time.
I found this work to ancient to enjoy. The sound was poor and the sets, seen against today's productions, were almost laughable. I shall have to consider the other BBC productions on offer very carefully before selecting any of them.
