Tom Russo Boston Globe 09/11/2014
It might not be quite the "adventure film" that the press materials promise, but it's a diverting enough variation on familiar environmental-crisis studies. Go to Full Review
Robert Abele Los Angeles Times 09/04/2014
Dencik's travelogue reveals a journey with curious traces of the past, eye-popping encounters with a wild present and ... a weighted reminder of our future as stewards of the Earth. Go to Full Review

The movie reveals some of the most stunning landscape cinematography imaginable, while everyone on the isolated ship waxes philosophical - as who would not? Go to Full Review
Brian D. Johnson Maclean's Magazine 08/13/2019
...even the film were silent, its eerie landscapes are so breathtaking, and serenely composed, that we'd still be entranced. Go to Full Review

The reassuring note that comes at the end of the journey isn't quite its thesis and, like the film, offers up no easy answers in spite of its search. Go to Full Review

Man is changing the environment far faster than we can cope with it and our intrepid explorers bring that point to home with a clear note of urgency. Go to Full Review

10/17/2016 Wow, we laughed the whole way. What a wonderful way to waste some time. This is the story of 6 weird drunks who steal a boat and park it in a secluded ice cove. The drink. They talk surface gibberish philosophy about the human condition. They gave me hope I could produce feature films out of my van with little to know training. I literally had to sign up for a account just to leave a review. If you love beautiful landscapes coupled with very random heavy metal music then you will love this movie. One of the drunks flew and crashed an airplane into the ocean. It was given no explanation. The drunk artist (and I use that term loosely) almost shot his own face off with a shotgun. No explanation was given. They all did a lot of hallucinating and then shot at a polar bear with a flare gun. My God!!!! I loved this movie. I have never seen anything like it. If you do any drugs or even if you just drink really heavy, this is a movie to sit and watch with 5 funny friends. I watched it dead sober with my girlfriend. It was still a riot. Enjoy PS. You official "critics" are clown shoes. Thank you for proving to me why people need to think for themselves. See more 09/17/2015 I thought this would be different -- some cool images but the discussions and concerns seemed shallow, and the danger of going insane in this landscape did not strike me as a real one. See more 07/14/2015 The ending was was a bit short. Up to that point though you felt engrossed in the surreal surrounding they put themselves into. Almost to a dark point where the frailty of life was at it's peak. What a great adventure these men took. This had a frontier feel you don't see much in the modern age. Man has much more to explore. See more 01/15/2015 if you like movies where boring people are pushing their "religion" of global warming disguised in "spontaneous" conversations with each you'll love it. I couldn't finish - makes me truly wonder if the critics are scared to tell the truth about how bad these agenda driven propaganda movies are out of fear of offending the kooks who worship this nonsense See more 01/05/2015 Really cool documentary! I like the humour and rapport amongst the expedition team members. See more 08/31/2014 Beautiful scenery, disjointed musings. Not worth the time See more Read all reviews
