I just got finished watching this turkey, and I would have to say that it was a humongous piece of junk. Considering how significant a story it is from a historical point of view, they just didn't do much with the story or the concept. And it was totally devoid of any sort of Maritime theme, nor did they take advantage of the possibility of showing the spirit of adventure and ocean crossings that they should have and could have shown. And what about the cartographic aspect, that was completely left out. I don't know what the production team, the writers and the director thought they were accomplishing with this film, but I do not think they could have made it more dull, if they had been trying to achieve that. The other abject failure of this movie was the editing, they had scenes the lasted 6 minutes that should have been 40 seconds where there was absolutely nothing going on. It made the film feel disjointed and like a hot mess. It was also poorly written, and the direction was completely off. I feel like this film failed on just about every level other than some of the production values and a couple of the performances. It was mind numbingly dull.
