  • Very good film, It was...

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    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

    Good movie, made for channel4, acting could be slightly better in places but its a true story and covers all aspects of his journey. Enjoyed watching

  • Remarkable story, well told

    Rated - 3.5 stars

    Highly recommend this film portraying a remarkable story which deserves to be told. Only criticism is that I think it skims over the time spent on the ice which makes the ordeal seem much shorter than it actually was - worth reading one of the many excellent accounts of the expedition to complement the film.

  • Not historically acurate

    Rated - 2.0 stars

    Ok, if you have no concern for historical fact. Like most 'historical' dramas this tells more about the time in which the film is made than the time it purports to depict.

  • Shackleton-Leadership hero for today?

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By a customer , 12 Oct 2011
    Just as good the second time of viewing, having seen it when on TV.

    If you want to know about leadership, endurance and sheer determination Shackleton is your man.

    If every British business leader had as much guts, courage and charisma as a Shackleton did, then we wouldn't be in the mess we are now!
