DVD Reviews of The Endurance - Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition
DVD Review: Teamwork at its best
Summary: 5 Stars
I recommend this movie for anyone wanting to train a team of low or high performance people on how to react under stress and pressure. It is also a good example of how leaders should remain steadfast and motivate their followers. I give this movie to the junior people I mentor at work.DVD Review: 3 stars out of 4
Summary: 4 Stars
The Bottom Line:
A solid documentary, The Endurance doesn't do anything novel or creative but does tell the fascinating story of Shackleton's Trans-Antartic Expedition in an interesting and fluid way; whether you do or do not know much about the expedition, this documentary should interest you.
DVD Review: The Endurance - Shackleton's Legendary Antartic Expedition
Summary: 3 Stars
The story is a dry and slow moving but historically very informative. The original photography of the expedition is great and the recreated scenes almost seem original. It's a sad tale but a very good one for fans of adventure or early explorers.DVD Review: Fantastic True Story on human will
Summary: 4 Stars
The story of Shakelton's antarctic expedition is a fantastic look at human nature and what can be accomplished with strong teamwork and leadership. In a nutshell, a bad situation turned worse and a expedition to cross the antarctic turns into a battle for survival.
This version of the Shakelton Story starts out a little slow, but is well organized and keeps your interest. The fight for survival is thrilling and just gives me goose bumps just thinking about it. For those interested in human psychology, sociology, and human interaction this would be for you. I consider it a must watch.
The one thing I wish it had more of was information on what the crew did on elephant island. A PBS documentary was stronger in that regard over "The Endurance".
I highly recommend.
DVD Review: Shackleton - Still the Story of Stories
Summary: 5 Stars
In the annals of exploration, there may be no greater story than Shackleton's. It is told with all the detail and none of the embellishment from which other chronicles suffer. You will feel the heartbreak and joy of perhaps the greatest adventure in Antarctic history. A great story superbly told on film!!
Description of The Endurance - Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition
NARRATED BY LIAM NEESON.IN AUGUST 1914, SIR ERNEST SHACKLETON SET SAIL WITH 27 MEN ON HIS SHIP THE ENDURANCE. HIS PLAN WASTO BE THE FIRST EXPEDITION TO CROSS THE ANTARCTIC CONTINENT.CONSIDERED BY EXPERTS TO BE THE GREATEST ADVENTURE EVER.Several films have documented or dramatized the incredible saga of Ernest Shackleton's ill-fated trans-Antarctic expedition, but The Endurance offers the most comprehensive one-source reference. Originally presented as a PBS Nova special and narrated by Liam Neeson, this excellent film--based on Caroline Alexander's acclaimed book, also titled after the ironic name of Shackleton's doomed ship--chronicles the astonishing events of 1914-16, when Shackleton and 27 crewmen survived against all odds after their ship was crushed in the polar ice floes. This is the only "Shackleton" film to incorporate new footage, expert interviews, dramatic recreations (without dialogue), and expedition photographer Frank Hurley's archival film and photographs. The cumulative effect of this extensive material gives the viewer an almost palpable sense of the expedition's hardship and unlikely survival, made possible in part by a man who had precisely the required experience and leadership skills, and in part by what can only be described as divine intervention. No matter how you interpret it, this is rightly called "the greatest survival story ever told." --Jeff Shannon
