Movie Reviews of The Last Place on Earth
Movie Review: More than just history
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this production 15 years ago when it first aired on PBS. I've been looking for a copy ever since. Finally...This is great history, an exciting story and a great production. But more than that, this should be mandatory viewing for every MBA canditate. The comparative managment styles and approaches of Scott and Amundsen should be "case studies" in every business school in America. CEO's should buy it by the case. (you can print my name, I'm retiring in 30 days)
Movie Review: Great drama, low quality video. Even better book
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
I would pay for this again if they would transfer from film and release it in HD. Even with that flaw, this is an incredible drama, well worth watching
Movie Review: Outstanding Real Life Adventure Also Demolishes A Legend
Summary: 5 Stars
This series succeeds in holding my attention right through to the end even on repeat viewing. Anyone interested in polar exploration should regard this as not just a good adventure, but also a good lesson both in the how-to/what-not-to-dos of exploring a hostile environment and also in the art of whitewashing the truth - that subsequently made the incompetent Scott a legend and a hero in his homeland.Movie Review: The golden age of Antarctic Exploration
Summary: 5 Stars
Cherry-Garrand described the Scott expedition as the "Worst Journey in the World" and this DVD certainly showed that. The contrast between Scott and Amundsen was well highlighted in this narrative. Five Stars, great performances and gritty portrayals of the characters.Movie Review: The Last Place on Earth
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
