Encounters at the End of the World

Lots of snow and ice.  Some crazy penguins, humans and sealsl  Scientific research and discovery of a lot of unknowns.  It all takes place Antarctica which seems to draw many bizarre people. As director/narrator Werner Herzog says, “behind every door, there’s someone with a special story to tell.” Fascinating and beautiful is the subject matter. The music soundtrack was annoying. Part of the fascination of the south pole is the silence . . . one resident says it is so quiet you can hear your heart beating . . . well not in this movie.  [ RT ]
