The Sea Beast: Reviews

The Sea Beast on Netflix is widely appreciated by the critics. The Hollywood Reporter notes, “The Sea Beast weds cartoon stylization with striking photorealism. The rendering of water — the movie’s main milieu — is especially powerful, whether the filmmakers are capturing its surface roil and glitter or plunging into its tranquil depths. The skies have a breathtaking eloquence, too, with fire, fog and candlelight effectively conjured as well. But through it all, character nuance is primary.”

“The Sea Beast gets the balance just right between rollicking action scenes, the inevitable didactic anti-hunting message about respecting other species’ right to exist and family-friendly humour,” wrote The Guardian.

Digital Spy too became a great fan of the movie within a short period of time and claimed that it is worth the big screen experience. “While the creature designs invariably lean towards cute, the design work elsewhere is impressively realistic and detailed. From the water effects to the sweeping camerawork during the set pieces, The Sea Beast is striking and gorgeous to behold,” they reviewed.

The Sea Beast scored 95% by Rotten Tomatoes, got an IMDb rating of 7.8/10, and Metacritic rating of 74%. Have you watched the movie on Netflix yet? If yes, do tell your reviews in the comment section below. If not, you know where to find it.
