Following its impressive premiere in London, the film has received overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics and reputable review websites. Many have praised Deep Sea Riding as a beautiful work with a complex and meaningful storyline. Although set in the past, the way the film explores the relationships between the characters, the struggle for survival, humanity, and the natural world has had a profound impact on modern audiences.

The film is based on a true story from 1820, when the Essex fishing vessel from New England was attacked by an unbelievable monster: a colossal whale with the will and vengefulness of a real human being. This maritime disaster inspired the bestselling novel Moby-Dick by Herman Melville in the 2000s. The film also conveys a profoundly meaningful message: don't be fooled by calm seas into thinking the ocean is never stormy. The sharp spears that humans have thrust into the heart of the ocean will eventually come at a heavy price.

The film stars Chris Hemsworth ("The Avengers", "Rush") as the experienced first mate Owen Chase; Benjamin Walker ("Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter") as the young captain George Pollard; Cillian Murphy ("The Dark Knight Rises") as second mate Matthew Joy; and Ben Whishaw ("Skyfall") as novelist Herman Melville, who researches and retells the story after 30 years.

Recently, Warner Bros. revealed a meticulously crafted behind-the-scenes clip to the audience. Although the producers only "teased" a small glimpse of the stormy journey, fans could already sense the ferocity of the sea and the brutality of this life-or-death battle. Furthermore, against the backdrop of the intense, furious sound and the terrifyingly realistic shots of the monster "Moby Dick," viewers will be overwhelmed with emotions ranging from suspense and anxiety to breathtaking tension.
Excerpt from "Confrontation with Moby Dick"
In particular, after researching and conducting in-depth analysis of whale species, director Ron Howard shared: “A fishing vessel being viciously attacked by a whale is something unheard of before. So what caused it to become enraged? I believe the animal was pushed into a situation that forced it to attack, and that led to this tragic disaster.”
"The Deep Sea Rises" premiered in Vietnam on December 11, 2015.
