Film Critic, age 13<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This intense dramatic film about\nsurvival had me on the edge of my seat the whole time! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The film takes place in\nthe&nbsp;cold, icy mountains of Iceland.&nbsp;\nA man crash lands in the middle of nowhere, thanks to a snow blizzard. He is\nvery resourceful&nbsp;and&nbsp;does well on his own. Finally, a rescue arrives,\nbut things get out of control. Time is ticking and he needs medical help. He\nhas more difficult&nbsp;times ahead battling mother nature and has to decide to\neither stay at his makeshift campsite or move to clearer ground in hopes of\nbeing rescued. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Tt9uMK9Uxcw?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/arctic.poster.c.jpg?resize=169%2C225&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3746\" width=\"169\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/arctic.poster.c.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/arctic.poster.c.jpg?w=749&amp;ssl=1 749w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Written by Joe Penna and Ryan\nMorrison, the protagonist Overgard is played by&nbsp;Mads Mikkelsen, a Danish\nactor who has appeared in many American films such as<em> Rogue One: A Star Wars\nStory <\/em>and<em> Doctor Strange<\/em>. He makes you experience the physical and\nmental emotions of this painstaking survival&nbsp;of the fittest.&nbsp;His\nrescuer is played by Maria Thelma Smaradottir who does very little in the film\nbecause she is on her death bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scenery is mostly snow-covered mountains\nand the landscape is beautiful. Overgard\u2019s costumes look suitable for his role.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I enjoyed this film because it\ntaught me about how unpredictable&nbsp;nature is and how to think through a\ndifficult&nbsp;situation.&nbsp;The scenes with the&nbsp;bear scared me so much,\nI literary&nbsp;jumped in my seat!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I give this film 4 stars\u00a0out of 5 stars and\u00a0recommend\u00a0it for ages 15 to\u00a018. You should know that there is some adult language in it, including use of the F word. Talking is\u00a0minimal and it\u2019s an excellent film, aside from the profanity. This film opens February 15, 2019 in Atlanta, GA so, look for it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N5aD9ppoQIo?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A man stranded in the Arctic after an airplane crash must decide whether to remain in the relative safety of his makeshift camp or to embark on a deadly trek through the unknown in hopes of making it out alive.
