Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

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.

ameerhassansidd Never in the history of drama ever created a masterpiece such as this in the catagory of adventure and expedition. This started cold, deadly, eventfull and gripping with and ended colder, deadlier, eventfuller and mastering the grip.

Rabh17 I'm not one for Historical dramas usually...but I like the stolid, emotionally gritty realistic re-imagining of what happened to a British expedition attempting to cross the Arctic. The portrayal of the Captains and the slow emotional degradation of the crewmen was riveting viewingI only have One Quibble: They Aren't Cold.The Set is perfect. I see master craftsmanship both on the ship and on the surrounding 'ice'.... but the Men Aren't COLD.Oh yes, they've got the coats on and they act miserable...but to me there's something missing. There's a certain hunching of the shoulders, the barely suppressed shivering, the involuntary twitching that comes from never actually being WARM.These guys are in the Arctic...in WINTER...but their Breath almost never fogs when they're outside. The Ship is LOCKED in ICE. These are Wooden Hulls from two centuries ago...but everyone is cozy comfy inside when ICE should be threading it's way inward.When they're outside, the hats and mufflers come off and the officers engage in long conversations as if it's Mid-October in a park. The Arctic is a place where men start losing fingers, toes and entire Limbs from prolonged exposure...but these guys AREN'T COLD! Other'n that...it's great drama.

petra_ste This ten-episodes series is an adaptation of Dan Simmons' horror/historical drama, loosely based on an ill-fated 19th century Arctic expedition (and I mean VERY loosely, as in "there is a giant monster in it").The whole package is impeccable, slick and professional, as was to be expected from something produced by Ridley Scott - although one may malignantly add that The Terror is much better than anything horror-related Sir Ridley himself has directed in the last decades.Acting is solid; The Terror has an ensemble cast featuring, among others, Ciaran Hinds, Tobias Menzies and Ian Hart. Jared Harris is arguably the main character, and he is an interesting, unusual lead; neither young nor handsome nor conventionally heroic, his Crozier is a sour, crusty veteran desperately trying to avoid disaster.My biggest gripe is how characterization is somewhat confusing, especially in the first few episodes; I'm the kind of geek who can recite whole family trees from Game of Thrones but I initially had a very hard time keeping track of who is who on the ships.Very well-executed; I particularly liked how the supernatural threat is paralleled by more realistic, mundane ones, like cold, starvation, mutiny and lead poisoning. I've always thought that horror works better when you create a believable, realistic narrative frame for it, rather than "anything goes".7,5/10

John Citizen Way too slow, ponderous and boring. It's OK for viewers who like long scenes of boring dialogue but for those who like TV where something actually HAPPENS, then this show is tedious and boring. Best to watch it on fast forward so you can see what happens at the end
