Arctic Reviews
Filme: Ártico Assistido: 30-12-24 Elenco: #theofficialmads @mariathelma93 Modelo: #suspense #superação #sobrevivência Duração: 1h 37m Ano: 2018 Minha opinião: Filmes de Sobrivência; Naúfrago, Vivos, O Regresso, A Perseguição, 127 Horas, Mar em Fúria, Até o Fim, Everest, Resgate Abaixo de Zero, O Chamado da Floresta, Depois daquela Montanha, A Sociedade da Neve, A Tempestade, Em Chamas, Vidas à Deriva, Sem Ar, A Queda, Escalada Mortal,... Temos vários filmes, neve, mar, montanha, Fogo, Ilha,... São várias situações, onde pode deixar as pessoas em estado de sobrevivência. Dramas solitários ou grupos e até com cães. E um dos mais preferidos são as quedas de avião em montanhas com gelo e neve. E assim até um filme ganha Oscar. Aqui temos Overgard (Mikkelsen) um ator que gosto de seus filmes. Um ator com expressão homem de gelo. E aqui literalmente esta no gelo. Depois que seu avião cai nas montanhas ele luta pela sobrevivência. Depois de passado uns dias, uma equipe de socorro vai até, ele porem, o helicóptero também cai, onde morre o piloto e sobrevive apenas Maria (Thelma) que no filme todo fica em cima de uma maca, pois esta entre a vida e morte. E quando Overgard vê que a saúde dela esta por um fio, decide ir até a cidade carregando Maria. Porém muitos obstáculos aparecem. Urso, Frio, cair em uma fenda, e lutar pela sobrevivência. Roteiro e enredo já conhecidos mas que a atuação de Mikkelsen dão um tempero. Vale apena assistir? Sim pra aqueles que gosta do gênero. Nota: 6

Gritty survival drama made to perfection.
I tried not to get pulled in. But I did. And three quarters of the way in I was crying. Hard to watch at times. Had to take a deep breath once it was over. A testament to the acting skills of two people who barely speak throughout the entiremovie.
The film had good acting and the cinematography was excellent but if you go into the movie and expect a plot that is easy to watch then it will leave many people feeling disappointed the ending is ambiguous and leaves you wondering what happens next i don’t want to spoil the film for anyone but I prefer a film that is willing to at least try and make an attempt to tell a complete story without resorting to leaving the ending to the imagination of the audience I find that approach to be extremely lazy and having said that I still recommend the movie for the work that was put into it so , if you can tolerate an ambiguous ending then you should definitely try watching this if, you prefer a movie where the ending is wrapped up in a nice little bow or spoon fed to you then I would recommend finding something else like maybe the Lego movie where everything is awesome
Stirring, human, brave, humanitarian, Loved it.
An astounding movie that proves you don't need loads of things and actors to create a masterpiece.
This is a great movie that i loved!
Great plot. I expected more from the ending.
You're supposed the know movies (and stage plays) are not real. Each requires empathy, but at the same time remains filtered through the intellect to have distance. It's a battle. You scream, you cry, you are just there. But you don't give celluloid advice. So in this film I kept trying to walk away, to take that distance. Each lasted but a few seconds. This film wouldn't let me leave. Never been to the artic. Never needed a rescue. I couldn't let them perish. I was there.
Painful to watch at times, and one hopes for but doesn't really know the outcome. The Arctic can be a terrible place to be alone.
You don't need many words in films. Great acting from both! I mean, he doesn't say much and She says even less! His is mostly movement and Hers isn't! Terrific movie, well done all.
Very little to like about this movie. Absolutely zero plot, or meaning to the premise. The ending was so abrupt and unsatisfying I think the director just got tired and decided to end our misery. 90 minutes I'll never get back.
A fairly standard survival drama, though a very good one at that! 'Arctic' is wonderfully acted out by Mads Mikkelsen, who is all alone (aside from a small role for María Thelma Smáradóttir) and rather mute all the way... but that doesn't take anything away from his strong performance. It's a competently made film in fairness, as it manages to set the scene perfectly and tells its story well - I was invested.
Arctic – Offers Some Challenges Writer/Director Joe Penna's quite powerful debut feature is helped immensely by Tomas Örn Tómasson's stylish location cinematography, and Mads Mikkelsen is perfect in the lead. It's a classic slow-burn survival story played out within inhospitable and constantly threatening landscapes. It also offers some helpful survivor tips (but avoids some also) - the sense of hopelessness is exacerbated by the irony of also having to care for a possible ‘rescuer'. As could be predicted, the pace is dictated by the attempts to exist in an ice-covered terrain. Some reviewers have said it lacks spirituality, and this could be true as no one can survive in a no man's land, with so little hope of survival, without delving into that place in the mind that analyses the unknown. This is when we most feel the need to wonder about all those unanswered questions, the ones we can easily push out of our everyday thoughts, that is, when we don't need to think about them. Some say outright they don't believe in God, but when all we have to prove this is that powerful, but miniscule organ known as the human brain –actually makes this assumption rather humorous. Why? some ask. What are we mere mortals when measured against that endlessness of an infinite Universe? As molecules of this awesome vastness, how very little we can conclusively prove makes us almost ridiculously presumptuous, laying bare our own immense limitations. While we have both feet firmly planted in the safety of our modern world, we can seem invincible, but take us out of our comfort zones, and this is when we really get to know ourselves - and how little we actually comprehend the mystery of our origins. Yes, the picture needed a stronger spiritual side to remind us that these survivors are mere humans, and their struggle is momentous.
Cinematography & story plot was great. Plus an outstanding performance from Michael Madsen. A must see story of survival.
It was interesting to see how he survived the daily grind of trying to get rescued, but we get no back story of how he got there and even more importantly the movie ends and leaves you hanging to know if he ever got rescued or not.
È la stupida convinzione di non saper finire un film con gioia….stupida idea di intelletualismo da strapazzo👎👎👎
You feel like you are there. You feel the desperation, exhaustion and desire to survive.
SPOILERS This film follows Overgard (Mads Mikkelsen), the sole survivor of his plane crash who has been surviving in the Arctic for some time. When a helicopter comes to rescue him, it gets caught up in a storm and crash lands. The sole survivor is a female who is in a coma for the entire movie. Overgard takes care of her and finds supplies in the helicopter. He decides for the womans sake and his own, to embark on a trek to a seasonal military base which is a couple days hike away. He faces steep cliffs, a polar bear, underground cavers, and more. In the end they see a helicopter and it lands near them as the two hold hands with their eyes closed. The barren, treacherous white land was a beautiful backdrop for this survival movie. So many times the entire frame would be blown out, pure white save for our characters walking across what appears to be nothingness. This movie succeeded in having me on edge or nervous pretty well throughout. From the gruesome, leg-caught-under-rock scene, to the suspense as he tries to haul a limp body up a steep cliff - this movie really made me uncomfortable. For a survival movie, thats a great thing - the arctic is no joke - and it nicely captured that desperate, end-of-your-rope do or die feeling. I also appreciated how our character knew what he was doing surviving - he wasnt an average guy plane-wrecked in the arctic. I found it satisfying that he was calm, collected, and had a routine and survival systems in order. The ending was great, it shows our protagonist getting the relief he has fought for all movie, but doesn't hand it to us in a heartfelt, happy scene. It is bittersweet as he lays there lifelessly. Lets get some logical stuff out of the way. How was this guys plane hull completely intact after his crash? It was sealed and kinda cozy inside, an ideal temporary survival hideout. Same with the helicopter. He had to pry open and closed the doors because the thing was in mint condition after it fell. Also, why did he never make this trek before the girl? He had a map (I cant remember if he pulled a different on from the helicopter) but you'd assume someone who the writers setup as a pro survivalist would at least try and make his way somewhere. If he didn't have the girl he would have been at that seasonal base so easily. I understand it makes the story more interesting if he has a reason to make the journey (the girl), but I cant help but feel someone who is a clear survivalist would make some sort of effort to get to safety. I wish the bear came into play more. It was introduced early in the movie and I assumed it would play a greater role and threat. The scene with it was kinda anti-climactic and ended so fast. My guess is they didnt have the budget to afford any VFX involving a bear fight. Understandable, but it just made for a shitty payoff when it runs away and is never seen again. Overall, Arctic is a thrilling and brutal mission across the white wasteland that will have your toes curling. Unfortunately some elements never come full circle, and stuff doesn't always add up.
