Against the Ice

Engaging story that hooks the viewer from the start. This adventure movie doesn't disappoint mainly because it takes place in one of the most forbidding places imaginable.

It's a triumph of the human spirit; a tribute to man's audacity, tenacity and raw courage. Capt. Ejnar Mikkelsen and Ivar Iverson achieved the impossible their sanity intact despite the danger, hunger and extreme cold for more than 2 years and 4 months. They are true heroes, and the impact of Mikkelsen's exploits is far-reaching to Denmark. It debunked foreign claims to parts of Greenland.

Nicolas Coster-Waldau and Joe Cole portray their roles admirably. No fancy acting but believably honest depiction of their plight in the icy wilderness.

A solid icy wilderness adventure film, based on a true story about a Danish expedition to discover the extent of Greenland. It's not quite up there with Mads Mikkelsen's ARCTIC but it's nonetheless an enduring and very well made production, with a good eye for detail throughout and fine performances from the two leads.

Directed by Peter Flinth, the movie is like a Jack London novel set in 1910.

Dogs, polar travel, nature and people.

Although Peter Flinth has many films, this one is a masterpiece.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Joe Derrick both starred and wrote the script.

Charles Dance is the surprise name of the movie.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau deserves all my respect.

Visual and sound engineering is very good.

The movie is a very good choice, especially for those who like Jack London-style novels.

Worth watching to see the limits of human endurance in another era before GPS, mobile phones, modern equipment. It must have been the 1910 equivalent of a trip into outer space . Absorbing film that captured the extreme length of the expedition and what must have been huge monotony without actually being boring.

Good survival movie, and knowing it was based on a true story made it even better; the motion picture and cinematography are fantastic and realistic; the story and plot are very good; when they show you the days and dates it helps you understand the suffering; however, I didn't believe it all the time; but even so, it's fine; the acting is amazing and pleasant; Nikolaj Coster and Joe Cole has done it very well. After all, it's a beautiful film that's well worth seeing.
