Was great to see such beautiful footage and exploration on the island. But it was melodramatic. And the idea that the entire mystery will be solved by finding the "tomb" doesn't seem plausible. Many survived well after Franklin died (years?) so the tomb could not possibly reveal everything that happened. It could only ever be part of the story. Yet Gross says at the end "we find one thing, we have it all". Just seems like everything is pinned on finding this mythical 'tomb' which will conveniently solve everything. It doesn't seem realistic and doesnt reflect the wide range of evidence that is out there to be recovered, including on the two ships, Inuit testimony etc. And wouldn't the ship's log be passed to Fitzjames rather than buried with Franklin? Diaries maybe but I doubt burying the log was protocol? But the filmmakers just repeat this stuff seemingly without considering these basic questions. It is odd the film is so singularly focused on this all too convenient catch-all holy grail and it just comes across as naïve click-bait filmmaking.
