I've given this movie 10/10. That's not like me. But WOW! I can't think of a thing wrong with the movie that justifies taking a point off.
I was spellbound from the first ten minutes. I'd never heard anything about this expedition, and perhaps I would have enjoyed the movie a little less had I known all the details beforehand. But as it was, I was captivated by the slow, gently teasing unravelling of an amazing human story.
I'm not particular fan of non-fiction, of incredible journeys, of exploration, of Antarctica, even of inspirational human triumph stories, so I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed watching this film.
See this movie!
