Shackleton
One of the most amazing and compelling adventure stories of all time, Ernest Shackleton's 1915 expedition to the previously unexplored, forbidding land of Antarctica has been a subject of great public fascination for decades. With 27 crew members, the intrepid man became trapped in the icey land after his ship, the Endurance, sank into the Weddell Sea. Oscar-winning actor Kenneth Branagh plays the complicated and fearless explorer. The dramatic story is based on excerpts from Shackleton's own diaries, as well as accounts from some of his crew members.

Very good film, It was visually stunning and held our interest throughout the 3 and a half hours. One point to note is that Part 2 follows part 1 at the end of the DVD. When the Part 1 credits came on, I was cursing roundly , thinking I would have to order part 2 separately

TV adaptations never match up to the book, and this film is no exception. For those, like myself, who have read Endurance, Shackleton, Nimrod etc, see that a TV adaption falls considerably short of doing justice to the real Shackleton. However, this asside, I really enjoyed this movie for the sake of it, and accept that the 'film buff' will learn nothing about the real Shackleton here, but will appreciate good drama and a sterling performance from the cast. Enjoy.
