Trivia:
The project was in early development as far back as 2002. Reese Witherspoon was attached to star at the time. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: The bullets from the opening gunfight cause no apparent damage to the plane until one breaks the cockpit window. In actuality all the guns used are powerful enough to penetrate the hull of the plane, which would have caused the catastrophic decompression shown when the window breaks. more
Quotes:
Dr. John Fury: I never meant for anyone to get hurt, but Haden got greedy. more

not as bad as some others trying to make you believe, 26 September 2009
8/10
Author: Philip Leduc from United States

I do not think this movie is as bad as some of the other comments try to make you believe and without it being exceptional , in my humble opinion, it is just as good (or bad if you want) as 99% of the other Hollywood productions they make these days. However it might have helped that I have read the comic strip on which this story is based which might make it easier to follow the plot. The use of violence is not exaggerated like in some many contemporary movies and the setting in the Antartic does not change anything to the fact that surely there must have been similar scenarios in the past but it still very agreeable to look at. We sometimes forget that Antartica exists and this movie is a good reminder of that.
