@HameZz 10/27/2024 I good underrated film. See more 01/12/2020 A missed opportunity to tell a great story, with a legend actor. Film focuses on Shackleton way to much, and doesn't develop the other characters hardly at all. A pity, because there were guys like Thomas Crean on that expedition, who were legends almost as much as Shackleton. Its an understandable mistake - because Branagh is great in this, and is perfect match to play Shackleton. But the filmmakers lean on him too much. If it wasn't for him this would be a half-star The story doesn't dwell on the expedition itself, enough. It wastes a lot of time on before they leave Britain, and cutting back to Britain while they are in Antartica. Yet the entire time they spend on the boat in winter is told in a couple of minutes. See more 07/11/2019 The script has a few contradictory lines in it but make no mistake this is genius from beginning to end. Lets see it on the big screen asap. See more 12/24/2017 Boring even by British standards. Not very accurate, although better than most. As always, Shackleton is presented as a great hero, despite the fact that he got these men into trouble in the first place and threatened to shoot his own men if they disobeyed him. I don't know how many times Branagh yells (not acts, yells) "I will not let these men die!" - but once is more than enough. Save your money. Buy a documentary instead, it couldn't possibly be as boring, and you'll learn something other than the fact that Brangah's acting career is over. See more 02/08/2016 A long epic about a legendary story. Truly for history buffs and armchair adventurers, this may be a challenging viewing for the typical Hollywood audience. More of a PBS Masterpiece Theater feature, I would not recommend entertaining this as an adventure film. Very well acted, by a great actor playing the protagonist. See more 11/14/2015 Very good story based closely on the real story of Shackleton's expedition. The mindset of these men in the face of terrific deprivation is illuminating and v much worth seeing.
