Movie Reviews of The Last Place on Earth
Movie Review: The Last Place on Earth
Summary: 4 Stars
"The Last Place on Earth" video is a great historical adventure of the discovery of the South Pole told from the research accounts of Roland Huntford, the book's author. The fine acting and scenic photography in difficult weather conditions makes this DVD a must buy. The only issue I have is the clarity of the DVD which is slightly fuzzy. Possibly playing it on a Blue Ray DVD player may make the image resolution better. It would make a great Blue Ray DVD emphasizing the fine photography. Key missing elements from the PBS Masterpiece series are the episode introductions by Alistair Cooke.Movie Review: Fascinating History of the Race to the South Pole

The movie is weak and fake. Poor choice on my part. I don't recommend it.Movie Review: Unimpressive DVD quality
Summary: 1 Stars
The other reviews are on the mark with content: this is a superb film. My low rating is due solely to the poor production standards of the DVD set. No digital remastering here. The grainy transfer to DVD looks every bit of twenty years old. No sound enhancements either, only a single AC3 stereo channel. Worst of all, Alastair Cooke's episode introductions, which accompanied the series when it was originally shown on Masterpiece Theatre, have been eliminated, replaced with cheap graphic images of the production company's logo. Unfortunately, this is the only Region 1, NTSC-format of this important series that we are likely to get.
