Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Art Vandelay I've seen more believable Star Trek episodes. With more realistic set design. With better acting. Involving William Shatner. I mean, you mix Borgnine ham and Hollywood styrofoam and you get a sandwich that gives you a gut ache. My favorite part was when the Rusians - who their commie captain just proudly announced SURROUND the Americans - toss some mustard-colored cover and then open fire at will. Miraculously, only one guy catches a bullet. I assume the $8 million budget went entirely to the actors' salaries because there's no evidence money was spent on anything else.

vostf Gowd, this is close to awful. Sometimes people lament "They don't make them like this anymore" but hopefully they won't make them any longer like Ice Station Zebra! From the start the movie is slow, tepid and it progresses sluggishly to cruise by 3-4 key scenes (tops), none of which deserves a spot in an anthology of movie-making. I had to peel my eyes open and still it took me 2 seatings to complete the ordeal. Even if you could reduce this junk to under 90 minutes it would only be marginally better since the script is so dull, it just drifts away from a 60s TV series episode.Some smart people must have thought the McGuffin by Alistair MacLean was the story so they didn't care about creating a real movie around it.

SnoopyStyle A satellite capsule parachutes onto the frozen Arctic. American submarine captain Commander James Ferraday (Rock Hudson) of the USS Tigerfish is ordered up north for a secret mission under the cover of rescuing a British civilian weather station, Ice Station Zebra. He is joined by British agent Mr. Jones, Soviet defector Boris Vaslov (Ernest Borgnine), and Captain Anders (Jim Brown) and his marines.The dialog, the acting, and the camera work are all very static and stiff. There may be a couple of interesting technical aspects. The submarine diving and surfacing looks good. The underwater stuff looks good for a model. It has the rolling submarine deck. On the other hand, the Arctic exterior looks too fake. The movie lacks tension or energy. The first exciting action is breaking through the ice at the end of the first half. There is simply not enough exciting stuff going on.

Ben Larson I don't know how I missed this film for 40 years, but I corrected that mistake.Not a blockbuster, with the only outstanding features being the cinematography and special effects, it is nevertheless a taut cold war thriller.The interplay between Rock Hudson, Ernest Borgnine. Patrick McGoohan, and to a lesser extent, Jim Brown made this a film where you are constantly focused on who is the good guy, and who is the bad.Long at 148 minutes, it never lags. There is a very good reason why Alistair MacLean novels make good pictures,
