Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
razorsharp2505-1 The premise for this movie sounded like it could be fun if done well: a mockumentary based on an eco-friendly vegetarian expedition to the North pole by two best friends with no experience whatsoever of what was about to come. What a shame that it fell flat on both the comedy and drama front.Neither of the two lead characters were particularly likable - one an egotistical ego-enthusiast, the other his cheerful but brainless best friend. When inevitable misfortunes hit them, it was hard to feel much sympathy given how under-prepared and arrogant they were. That of course was supposed to be part of the comedy but it just didn't get there. I've given this movie 4/10 based on the fact that I stuck with it to the end and it wasn't so bad I'd tell people not to watch it themselves. There are, however, far better movies out there to spend your time and money on. Or be eco-friendly and stay home with the power off for 1.5 hours instead!
drklabs What to discuss about films like this? absolutely nothing , every impotent untalented people in those days going out getting a camera in their hands and make movies and they also make a lots of promises, we doing this to save the world , to save the politics system to save hungry people , to save the plants , to save dolphins ,monkeys etc , what a shame Don't YOU EVER PEOPLE THINKED WE KNOW ALL OF THIS? Don't YOU EVER THINKED THAT THIS ARE THINGS THAT EVERYONE KNOWS? Don't YOU UNDERSTAND THAT HUMAN RACE Doesn't WANT TO SAVE PLANETS PLANTS NATURE ETC? WE Don't WANT TO SAVE ANYTHING ! WHY? Because we just don't care and this exists in our nature in our DNA ,YES WE ARE SELFISH B ASTARDS THATS WHAT WE ARE, WE CARE ONLY ABOUT HOW WE LL FILL OUR POCKETS WITH MONEY,OUR STOMACH WITH FOOD AND TO F ... Everyone AND EVERYTHING ON THIS PLANET , SO ACCEPT IT ...And if you really care use some art to express this things because in the way you doing this you waisting your time and our time ,because i m saying again we know all this things we just need to look at it in the good looking way and to say AHH! thats a nice point of view.
RayMillsMedia I was able to see this very original film over the summer as part of the reviewing process for a festival. I wished that we could have screened it, but we just didn't have enough programs to fit it in the schedule. The idea that a couple of guys who have never tried anything like going to the North Pole are going for it is interesting enough, but that they want to be the first vegan, carbon neutral team to make it adds a whole other layer of bizarreness to this wonderful mockumentary. The Norwegian team they are, sort of, competing against in their quest for the pole add a whole other layer of hilarity to this wacky comedy. This is very funny film and I hope will do well in the theaters. Go see it!
Emily Clements I'm lucky enough to have seen Beyond The Pole at a preview a few months ago and it was absolutely fabulous. A thought provoking message wrapped up in a hilarious plot, the story is well told and the characters are excellent. The film is incredibly well cast and the locations are stunning. I know everyone mentions it, but the scene with the biscuit is so funny I could hardly breathe, and yet there are other parts in the film that are incredibly emotionally charged.I hardly stopped laughing all the way though! All in all I left feeling energised and positive - a great uplifting film that everyone must go and see! Bring on the release!! (I'll go again!)
