Average Rating: 
Rating:  - The ultimate drama of Polar adventure
The production values make you feel like you are going along for the journey to the South Pole, and the acting is quite evocative. For me, there were so many memorable scenes, notably Cecil Meares's embittered but principled rant about Scott's unfitness to lead, the Amundsen's brothers cemetary scene, and any of the scenes with the gallant "Titus" Oates. It is enjoyable to see so many Norwegian actors in one place,and such beautiful scenery. The only flaw with this otherwise excellent mini-series ... Read More
Rating:  - The Last Place on Earth
The race for the South Pole adapted from the journals of those involved. You are there. The charaters are real. You can almost smell the blood, sweat and tears. What can I say to those who want to know history...this is amazingly told.
Rating: - Great drama, low quality video. Even better book
Roland Huntford reveals the truth about Scott in his book, and that is brilliantly captured in this video. Scott's flaws and inner demons are made clear, but so are Amundsen's. This is a beautiful video, but it really suffers from the not-even-VHS quality of the video.

Rating: - Really binding
A very comprehensive background to this race was portrait in an unbiased way.

Rating: - I could not have enjoyed this more!
This is simply the PERFECT movie/series for anyone who is interested in polar exploration. It's beautifully filmed, interesting throughout, and really makes you feel you are there. True, Scott is, on the whole, shown in a less than favorable light, but given many of the decisions he made, it would be hard for that not to be the case. To the film's credit it goes to great lengths to give the context/history behind the mindset that led to those poor decisions. Likewise with Amundsen, you see his greatness ... Read More
