| User ReviewPaul CIt was the only PG movie playing in our town and my brother wanted to see it so our parents took us . . . it would be the last movie we would see together as a family (wow) . . . I was nine and totally not in the least interested in this. but I'm sure its a fine film. Its probably on youtube in parts under a code or something. |
| User ReviewCarlton RBurning hot cast, Vanessa Redgrave , Lloyd Bridges , Christopher Lee , among other stars, Redgrave's accent is dire, The story is based on Maclean novel, but differs greatly, The plot at times is confusing, but it's a not a bad spy thriller, set in lovely scenery, but far from a classic by any means. The story is basically, A UN expedition of scientists from different countries come to the barren arctic Bear Island, between Svalbard and northern Norway, to study climate change. However, several of them turn out to be more interested in the fact that there is Gold in one of the submarines than studying climate change, during all of this a number of deaths and accidents occur. |
| User ReviewAndrew WTypical Alastair Maclean sleight of hand and red herrings leaving the viewer guessing which side each character is on to the end. The film has worn reasonably well though the music soundtrack is grating and over the top. |
| User ReviewPaul Dincreadible story but hmmmm maybe someone else should have prduced this film!. But even one of my fav films |
| User ReviewFrank MWhy it says made in 2000 I dont know, in reality it was made in 1979. A typical 70's action thriller, mostly made on location. It brings far too much accidental humour, with stereotype characters, hammy acting with equally hammy script, but it is quite enjoyable. |
