Shackleton (2002)


The movie beginns in the year 1914 and is centered on the character Sir Ernest Shackleton (Kenneth Brannagh). This movie is based on the true story about the expedition to the South Pole and the crew on the ship Endurance. But the ship strikes disaster in Antarctica and the ship gets stuck in the ice. Now Schakleton must get his crew to safety.
This movie feels long, very long. But I would lie if I said that was because the movie is boring. But some parts drag to build some atmosphere. It is really hard to comment on a movie like this because the movie hasn’t really done anything wrong. The character Shackleton is written so well that you really feel the pain with him when the disaster strikes. I wish that this movie focused more on him and not so much on all other people around.
It’s a good movie, but I wouldn’t bring this one over to a friend and say: “Dude! We totally must see this Schackleton guy!”
