    Must see for survival lovers!
    How this has such a low review score is beyond me......??!! This EPIC story of 2 men's survival is a must see and shows how powerful the will to live can be.

    If you ever think that you are having a bad day or you are depressed think of situations like this where people are knocking on deaths door. That should cheer you up and give you a slap in the face of reality that there are always people way worse off!

    Back to the movie... the scenery, acting and pace of the movie keeps you locked in and sucked into their journey. The fact that this story lasts years in the freezing conditions by the north pole is astonishing! I fancy myself as a survivalist with some great knowledge but there's no way I would have survived the odds of this...Watch this movie!

    Great Movie, Worth Watching
    Despite what some reviewers have said, this film was not boring. Not every movie can be a 'Fast and Furious' clone with chases and fights. This is a gripping and tension filled film that still provides action, but the best feature is the relationship between the two leads.

    The filmmakers did a great job of portraying the tedium and hopelessness of being stranded in the arctic without proper equipment and provisions.

    Incredible scenery and great performances by all. Makes me want to read the book, even though I have read about other arctic expeditions, I wasn't familiar with this story.

    Amazing true story about survival in the face of impossible odds. Worth watching.

    A proper exploration/adventure/survival movie
    It's based on a true story & it still managed to keep me interested till the end (usually these type of movies aren't that entertaining). I watched it with my family, and everyone enjoyed it. Definitely recommended!

    Can you say documentary?
    This was an okay film, but in my opinion would have made a way more interesting documentary. Why they choose to make this a movie I will never know. Lol It was decent, just not a lot of story other than traveling across ice and staying in a cabin going nutso.
