Against the Ice

I cant believe why the ratings are so low? It deserves a good 7 or 8 for the brilliant cinematography!! For those who love classics like Dances with the wolves and other 90s, this is the film for them. Slow ... natural and lost in nature! Its the kind of film that doesnt need any action, its all there !!! The ratings cannot be trusted. It seems like people expected spiderman to jump in these landscapes!!! Watch it with no bias and you d love it!!!

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.

Incredible story, but I think I would die of absolute boredom. That is a long time to be stuck on a desolate frozen piece of land.

As for how that story was portrayed on film. Very much so-so. They still did it justice and all, but it honestly just seemed void of any real tension. The cinematography is pretty decent, but asides from that there's nothing that really stands out.

If you enjoy survival movies, or the arctic like I do than it's alright, but if you don't it's sure to be a bore.

'Arctic' with Mads Mikkelsen was better.

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.
