Two explorers (Joe Cole and Nikolau Coster-Waldau, who alo co-wrote) set out to discover the evidence, but not before the inevitable setbacks. Their perilous journey covers the first half of the story, but personal drama dominates, as they continue their struggle to survive in isolation. Considering that this is based on real events, their endurance is incredible. As for the film, the director Peter Flinth stages the "action" scenes with competence, but there's never much fear for their lives (except one dog). Given the challenges of the period, this proves a fascinating history lesson, but doesn't ever generate much emotion.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is one of the most accurate adaptations of true events I think I’ve ever seen, especially on Netflix. Really gripping. It’s amazing how closely they followed the true story. Except for the dogs which the captain wrote were “beloved” and in the movie the men are pretty callous to them. Unsure why they made that change. They only ate them on the return and only once the other dogs had attacked another out of their own starvation and it was injured so badly it would’ve died anyway. They became ill after eating it.

Also, the entire return was done in the dark as the day night cycle there is months of day and then months of night. Not like our traditional 12 hours of day/night we have in most places. Other than those two inaccuracies(which I think would’ve made the film better if they’d been in it), I think this was great. It showed what they truly went through and what that does to a man. Great acting and the UHD version is beautiful. Very well done. For those who haven’t, I recommended the book which is a firsthand account written by the Captain and in those days they were very meticulous about firsthand accounts.… Expand

As a historical adventure drama, it is not entirely effective in all the footage; at times it feels very slow although little by little from less to more. Only if all the good options have already been seen.

I love slow tempo of this movie but if you don't - it's probably not for you.
