This was a blast to watch. Beautiful images and sound. Story is fantastic. Just a lot of fun to sit back and enjoy.
Somehow this just came across and very uninteresting.
There isn't much to get the viewer invested.
Should have been a YouTube series.

This documentary on a solo adventure across the Canadian arctic was amazing. From the scenery, to the commentary, to the adversity, to the perseverance, it was great from start to finish.

The scenery is breath taking! The book is a must read. Adam elaborates on his stories more in depth. But I did not grasp just how harrowing a journey this was until I watched the movie. Adam is one crazy guy to do this alone
Yes, it's a rare person to handle the loneliness and physicality and sacrifice to carry two heavy packs and pull/paddle/pole/portage a canoe over challenging terrain for thousands of miles while battling mosquitoes & large biting flies, and the weather, and the unknown of predators.
On the other hand the GoPro camera seldom showed the awesomeness of the journey's beauties; mostly we see close ups of our traveler. But then, too, handling a camera while handling everything else is asking a lot. Would have been interesting to know what percentage of the journey was paddling up; paddling down; paddling flat; poling & sail enhanced. What percentage was portaging between water sources.
I have no problem with the plane drop of supplies, but outside of a couple of eating berries I didn't see any serious food gathering. Also, I don't think he should be critical, without knowing why, other travelers left their gear.
