Teamwork at its best
Added 7/9/2009
I recommend this movie for anyone wanting to train a team of low or high performance people on how to react under stress and pressure. It is also a good example of how leaders should remain steadfast and motivate their followers. I give this movie to the junior people I mentor at work.

3 stars out of 4

The Bottom Line:
A solid documentary, The Endurance doesn't do anything novel or creative but does tell the fascinating story of Shackleton's Trans-Antartic Expedition in an interesting and fluid way; whether you do or do not know much about the expedition, this documentary should interest you.

The Endurance - Shackleton's Legendary Antartic Expedition
Added 12/14/2008
The story is a dry and slow moving but historically very informative. The original photography of the expedition is great and the recreated scenes almost seem original. It's a sad tale but a very good one for fans of adventure or early explorers.

Fantastic True Story on human will
Added 3/30/2008
The story of Shakelton's antarctic expedition is a fantastic look at human nature and what can be accomplished with strong teamwork and leadership. In a nutshell, a bad situation turned worse and a expedition to cross the antarctic turns into a battle for survival.
This version of the Shakelton Story starts out a little slow, but is well organized and keeps your interest. The fight for survival is thrilling and just gives me goose bumps just thinking about it. For those interested in human psychology, sociology, and human interaction this would be for you. I consider it a must watch.
The one thing I wish it had more of was information on what the crew did on elephant island. A PBS documentary was stronger in that regard over "The Endurance".
I highly recommend.

Shackleton - Still the Story of Stories
Added 2/18/2008
In the annals of exploration, there may be no greater story than Shackleton's. It is told with all the detail and none of the embellishment from which other chronicles suffer. You will feel the heartbreak and joy of perhaps the greatest adventure in Antarctic history. A great story superbly told on film!!
