Kon-Tiki Reviews

Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl crossed the Pacific ocean in a balsa wood raft in 1947, together with five men, to prove that South Americans already back in pre-Columbian times could have crossed the sea and settle on Polynesian islands. After gathering financing for the trip with loans and donations, they set off on an epic 101 day-long journey across 8,000 kilometers, all while the world was watching. KON-TIKI tells about the origin of Heyerdahl's idea and the events surrounding the group's voyage

Kon-tiki truly is one of the best foreign films out there. Includes real footage.
Beautiful cinematography, great script, excellent cast.
Do check it out.

Whta a loss ofa story. The director wastes in one single boring trip that pales compared with Ang Lee's Pi (is the same route, in reverse), the obsession of a life. You see Heyerdahls battling with nature, not with nature and society, wich is the main theme.
