Movie Reviews of Longitude
Movie Review: Longitute
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a must see after reading the book of the same name. I showed it to my 7th grade social studies classes and they (for the most part) stayed tuned in. Filled with great acting and paralleling the lives of two men closely associated with these historically valuble timepieces, I highly recommend this film.Movie Review: Turning Point
Summary: 5 Stars
A top flight cast give a fascinating portrayal of a turning point in scientific history. The invention of an accurate timepiece by Harrison transformed the world from that point onwards, and the story is told intelligently and with great craft to bring the struggle of practical science to life.Movie Review: Longitude sets Sail
Summary: 5 Stars
The two stories told concurrently detail the development of the original clocks and their subsequent resotration provides a moving account of the quest to secure the maritime industry and navy's safe passage. It a great translation from book.Movie Review: A fascinating historical story!
Summary: 5 Stars
A fantastic historical account of the struggle of a lone genius to find a technical solution to the longitude problem. John Harrison's struggle against the prevalent bias against him from the Astronomer Royal is a compelling drama.Movie Review: Captured in time!
Summary: 5 Stars
A brilliant drama about a man's passion! Both Michael Gambon and Jeremy Irons bring powerful performances. Although in two parts I was with these characters all the way and captured by the powerful messages of their life stories.
