It is a little distancing, but I appreciate that he is a low key guy.

Even if Explorer doesn’t get into the depths of Ranulph’s passion for the sport, it shows a pleasant and motivating perspective of the world’s greatest to push himself to the limit.

You know that guy, the salt-and-pepper-haired dude hawking “Dos Equis” beer on TV, online, and in thousands of subsequent memes? The one who is touted as being “The Most Interesting Man in the World?” He can’t hold a candle to Ranulph Fiennes.

Rated: 5/5

Its a shame, but this documentary film is truly terrible, nearly unwatchable but we pushed through because after all we paid to see it. From the compilation of illegible soundclips and telephone calls to the confusing jumping around all over the place with the timeline. Also nothing about his hovercraft expedition and discovering Ubar. Would love a refund. Dont know what they tried to do with this documentary movie, Unthinkable that such an interesting person's life story can be butchered by the film maker to this extent. Watched the Sydney Portier documentary prior, it is excellent, executed beautifully.

When your own life is so exciting you are bored in a movie about the most prolific explorer of your time.
