I was expecting something akin to the 1992 film Baraka the way it was promoted but it was anything but.
The first 20+ minutes were just strange. A bunch of Russians recovering cars from beneath the ice and struggling to do so. Why? Who cares? Why were the cars under the ice?
Well, we will never find out as my wife begged me to skip forward and see if it improved from that the whole thing was so tedious and uninteresting so I jumped to about 30 minutes in. Better with the scenes of the glacier and calving but the film quality wasn't particularly good (might just have been the version we were watching) and showed us nothing we hadn't seen before so we decided we just couldn't be bothered and gave up at that point.
Disappointing, to say the least. Highly overrated and eminently missable.
