Jean, This is a
surprisingly good family action-adventure film. It is based on the real
story of Thor Heyerdahl and his balsa wood raft trip of 5,000 miles
from the coast of Peru to the Polynesian Islands in 1947. it was to
prove his theory on the settling of Polynesia from the east rather than
from the west. It has more action than I expected, with the arrival of
the whale shark, the adventure with the shark school and the wild shark
on deck and the phosphorescent fish at night. Some of the scenes
reminded me of "Live of Pi" with their whaleboat in the vast sea. It is
such a good looking film. The after lives of all the crew members is
also interesting as well as their real life experiences during WWII.
