Continent 7: Antarctica (2016) User Reviews

Bad reviews are heavily based on personal taste, this documentary deserves more.

This is NOT sensationalized badly. Altough it is definitely based on an "risky adventure" theme, it doesn't mean it was a wrong approach. The Antartica is indeed a vastly undiscovered continent, thus full of risks, tragic events and emotion of success. Artistically, it creates a drama like adventure -many explorers have tragically died because we are yet to discover accurate and high survival techniques while trying to explore the continent.

In a more personal taste, I don't see this being better by focusing heavily on the scientists and get to know them, it's not a scientist documentary. It's exploring Antartica documentary, thrilling, yet very informative scientifically and environmentally.

Interesting topic and people but heavily sensationalized.

What could have been a very nice documentary about interesting people in an amazing environment is ruined by a sensation/action seeking voice over and annoying way of cutting.

This is what you would find on the modern discovery channel. It's all about the dangers and what could go wrong. Which is of course an important aspect of being out there however it is used for sensational reasons. And you know the type of voice over when you hear it.

It would have been more interesting to learn about the scientists, who they are, why they are there.

A real shame because I'm super interested in Antarctica and the people there.

Hastily put together.

The people are interesting. Real scientist, they know kilometres and centigrade.

The annoying voice over changes it to miles and football fields.

Makes for a frustrating to watch.
