Movies: Arctic

 

(Drivebycuriosity) - Imagine your plane crashes in the arctic and you are the only survivor - far away from human settlements and no means to contact them. That´s the story of the movie "Arctic" (imdb). The audience follows a man who is struggling sheer endlessly against forces stronger than him.  Mads Mikkelsen, who plays the survivor, carries the whole film. This reminds me a bit of Tom Hanks in "Cast Away", but the icy & rocky environment is way more harsh and deadly than the tropics (this is a spoiler free blog). 

The movie is about the will to survive, whatever will happen. Nature, especially in the Arctic, does not care if you survive or not, it seems it intends to kill you. The cinematography captures a nature which is both, breathtakingly beautiful and violent deadly. "Arctic" is thrilling and dramatic, go and watch it.
