Awesome Movie

Absolutely brilliant

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Beyond The Pole is a tongue in cheek movie about climate change, among other things. It also deals with friendships that are strained to breaking point and the strength of human spirit, albeit with a comedic feel. This independent mockumentary style film made me think while I laughed and at times, cringed. I never felt that it preached to me about the whole climate change debate, but somehow at the end I felt that I had been enlightened slightly. Maybe it is because the film was actually shot on floating ice caps, with the whole handy cam feel, that it gives you a sense of actually being with the characters as they struggle with their adventure, through the good times, and the bad.With twists and turns at many points, this film kept me guessing till the end.A definite must see, even if it's only for a laugh.

The climate-change camp of environmentalists have over the last few decades moved from hippies in trees to suits in boardrooms, from Greenpeace ships to parliament and from chaining themselves to construction site fencing to highly paid city-based consultants. Some would argue a long-oppressed and "inconvenient" movement has now swung right through the centre ground, and like many oppressed but important issues, now gone too far, and there is a need for amending the balance.Enter "Beyond the Pole". While not losing sight - or in my view trying to criticise or offend the climate debate - this film is an hilarious look at where idealism simply goes too far. In a small screening at the ICA we laughed, cringed and cried on a roller-coaster of emotions from the Chelsea Tractor streets of London to the harsh, barren and cold reality of the Arctic North.This is essential viewing for all. I left amused, entertained and felt some much needed humour (and humility) had been injected into the climate debate.Not least as I leave for the North Pole at the end of March. And yes, I did go to Public School. Sorry.

This is a hilarious film, with an excellent cast. The scenery is unbelievably beautiful and really brings the point behind the plot home...that global warming is out of control and this natural beauty may not be around for much longer. Given the important message within the film, it is very funny and has lovely eye candy with Alexander Skarsgard, who plays his character as a gay explorer brilliantly – his biscuit scene is incredibly funny! There is an abundance of fine British comedy actors, Mark Benton is, as usual, brilliant but Stephan Mangan and Rhys Thomas undoubtedly steal the show. I left wanting more! I can't wait for this to be released, I'll definitely be buying the DVD when it, finally, gets released. So Don't Be Impotent – Be Important and go see this film!

I had the advantage of seeing this film at the Fort Lauderdale Film Festival yesterday and it was wonderful. A must see movie. A boys adventure with two misfits taking on a serious subject matter (Global Warming). Lightheartedly challenging all of us to do something about the way we live to bring attention to the ill-effects of climate change whether it be big or small. Have you ever gotten on you hat-box about an issue and wanted to do something about it but never did? Well here's an inspirational example of two guys nervously following there gut and making us all laugh while doing so. Saving the planet isn't easy so "Don't be Impotent" "Be Important". Go on now see the film!
