Beyond thalassophobia, if the sloppy bluescreen compositing doesn't make you laugh to death!

Really liked this. It's extremely faithful to the book. Which is great. The lead actor Spencer Tracey is quite good, and so is the kid who played the boy. Also it has really good music and was shot very well. Overall a solid movie.
