Against the Ice delivers all the delirious period drama thrills and survival horror angst that you could want from a movie with that title.

Against the Ice is very square, very straight, and just naggingly average in all departments.

Against the Ice is a searing portrayal of the cost to explore in the early 20th century.

The unfortunate truth of the matter is that, like this duo’s supplies, returns diminish with every passing day.

Sigh. If only a good cast was enough to salvage a plodding, tedious film from the snowy wreckage.

A soft-edged, stolid blend of gorgeous geographical authenticity with a global-facing English-speaking cast whose accents range from Joe Cole’s Brit to co-producer, co-writer and leading man Nikolaj Coster-Waldau’s mid-Atlantic purr.

Veteran Danish director Peter Flinth (“Beatles” and “Nobel’s Last Will” were his) delivers a film that feels approved by its co-writer and star in terms of thoroughness, but that lumbers as it passes from one waypoint to the next in the standard “alone in the Arctic” narrative.

If you're looking for a feel-bad movie with some absolutely stunning cinematography and an appreciation for the tenacity of the human spirit, then Against the Ice was made for you.
