VHS Movie Reviews of The Last Place on Earth [VHS]

Movie Review: The Last Place on Earth
Summary: 4 Stars

"The Last Place on Earth" video is a great historical adventure of the discovery of the South Pole told from the research accounts of Roland Huntford, the book's author. The fine acting and scenic photography in difficult weather conditions makes this DVD a must buy. The only issue I have is the clarity of the DVD which is slightly fuzzy. Possibly playing it on a Blue Ray DVD player may make the image resolution better. It would make a great Blue Ray DVD emphasizing the fine photography. Key missing elements from the PBS Masterpiece series are the episode introductions by Alistair Cooke.

Movie Review: Poor implementation
Summary: 2 Stars

The movie is weak and fake. Poor choice on my part. I don't recommend it.

Movie Review: The ultimate drama of Polar adventure
Summary: 4 Stars

The production values make you feel like you are going along for the journey to the South Pole, and the acting is quite evocative. For me, there were so many memorable scenes, notably Cecil Meares's embittered but principled rant about Scott's unfitness to lead, the Amundsen's brothers cemetary scene, and any of the scenes with the gallant "Titus" Oates. It is enjoyable to see so many Norwegian actors in one place,and such beautiful scenery. The only flaw with this otherwise excellent mini-series is the incessant harping on Scott's incompetence and arrogance, which makes the movie seem one-sided and unfair, even if most of criticisms of Scott are accurate.

Movie Review: The Last Place on Earth
Summary: 5 Stars

The race for the South Pole adapted from the journals of those involved. You are there. The charaters are real. You can almost smell the blood, sweat and tears. What can I say to those who want to know history...this is amazingly told.

Movie Review: Great drama, low quality video. Even better book
Summary: 5 Stars

Roland Huntford reveals the truth about Scott in his book, and that is brilliantly captured in this video. Scott's flaws and inner demons are made clear, but so are Amundsen's. This is a beautiful video, but it really suffers from the not-even-VHS quality of the video.

I would pay for this again if they would transfer from film and release it in HD. Even with that flaw, this is an incredible drama, well worth watching
