Product Description
Jack London's bestselling adventure is definitively brought to the screen as an epic miniseries event-a unique blend of high-seas adventure and psychological thriller that will stir, inspire, and excite it's fans like never before. Wolf Larsen (Sebastian Koch) is the tyrannical Captain of the notorious seal hunting vessel, the Sea Wolf. While on the high seas, he takes on castaway Humphrey Van Wyden (Stephen Campbell Moore). But instead of abandoning him at the next harbor, Wolf puts the mild-mannered literary critic to work and rules over him with an unyielding iron fist. Much to Wolf's surprise, the graft transforms Van Wyden into a hardened adversary - every bit as formidable as Wolf himself. But it's not until the appearance of Wolf brother, Death (Tim Roth), and Maud (Neve Campbell), the daughter of a rival ship owner that the dynamic truly explodes into life, leaving three men to war over love, duty, life and death.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The film was also very illustrative of how insanely rough life was for the sailors however, I felt the story to be disjointed at times. I read another review that used the word incomplete which is another word to describe it, at least in IMHO. Maybe if I had read the book I would have understood the flow of the story better.
The great acting and scenery overcame my detractors and helped me make the decision to rate this 4 stars rather than 3. Having watched it as part of our Prime subscription made it a great benefit from that subscription but I would not recommend this as a DVD or Streaming purchase.
Last, as a suggestion to anyone experiencing buffering or studdering issues while watching Prime videos, this was one of the last videos we began to watch and then shut off because of that issue. After spending hundreds of dollars on a new router, modem and increasing my Internet bandwidth 10 fold, I still had the buffering issues.
I decided to hardwire an ethernet cable from our router to the Samsung TV and since hooking it up about 2 weeks ago we have had no buffering or studdering issues whatsoever. So if you have these issues and can install an ethernet cable direct, don't wait, do it today, you will be extremely happy you did!

Well made, the realism was excellent.
Did it beat the earlier B & W version, with the great Edward G Robinson? thanks to better sound, better camera equipment, and of course, colour,........it just about did..
There are flaws: narration may have helped, Tim Roth overacts and mumbles, it has a 'made for tv' aspect which means acting, style, editing and atmosphere suffer, but don 't let this put you off. One day someone may make a shorter, slicker, darker, fiercer, ambiguous Oscar-winner. But for now this one makes a lasting mark, if you stay the course.
Sebastian Koch thankfully is excellent as the riveting sea captain Wolf Larsen, and I quite like the tacked-on psychological ending they,ve invented. It helps to provide a bit of satisfaction to London's emptier one. Although this may subtract from his elemental ambiguity.
The sense of realism and production quality never falters, but occasionally the lesser acting and script does. But in terms of the interpretation and appreciation of London's vision, I think he'd really have liked what they've made here.
But this is a critique. The test of any film version hinges on Larsen and how we remember him. After this voyage, we are all changed by his 'floating little society'. Just as the book does, reminding us of stormy natures, our sense over savagery, savagery over sense.
