Auftrag Antarktis (2007)
26KAuftrag Antarktis: Directed by Jean Lemire. With Donald Sutherland. Narrated by Donald Sutherland, this thrilling, feature-length documentary chronicles the brave group of scientists on board the Sedna IV as they explore the Earth’s most fascinating and isolated continent.
“i was disappointed in this documentary.it supposedly details a group of Canadian scientists/filmmakers in their efforts to test and observe the effect that global warming is having in the Antarctic,by spending the winter there under supposed harsh conditions,which would supposedly test them and present them with a great deal of danger.unfortunately,it seems to focus mainly on the crew themselves and their banal,everyday conversations.they didnu0026#39;t really seem to do very much in the way of studying the climate.plus,the were never really in any great deal of peril due to all the modern technology they had.so the film is neither very compelling or interesting.the narration of Donald Sutherland elevates things a bit,and there are few striking scenes showing parts of snow cliffs melting and crashing into the water.and their are few a few scenes showing some of the native life that lives in harsh conditions.but overall,a lacklustre effort,in my opinion.for me,The Last Continent is a 4/10”
