Reaction: Who would have thought that a movie about people dying in Antarctica would be the third most profitable film of the season at the midway point? Not the studio, but we're certainly pleasantly surprised by the strong performance of this one.
"Antarctica, despite some of its shortcomings, is a well-told story based on real events. While some backstory on the characters would have been nice, it didn't hold the film back too much - especially with the talented cast assembled." - Allen Poole, AV Club
"While the story of Antarctica is mostly interesting, there was a constant emotional disconnect. We never really gain much information on the characters outside of the task at hand, which keeps their fates from landing emotionally." - Mike Stotts, Portland Tribune
"This feels like an old-fashioned flick with a simple goal, talented cast, and a reliable director to guide them. It can feel a bit like a war of attrition at times, something that likely would have been helped by some more characterization for our set of adventurers to heighten the emotional investment." - Michael St. Felix, The Dallas Morning News
