Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Tim Kidner I viewed Beyond The Pole as a comedy first and ecological message second. Starting off with an idealogical dream, out two intrepid heroes (Steve Mangham and Rhys Thomas, both displaying flair for comedy) come up with an idea of combining a dream to reach the north Pole with getting into the Guinness Book of Records. They're going as the first non-supported, carbon-free and vegetarian team.After selling flats and leaving a pregnant wife, the duo get to the Arctic (a beautifully dramatic landscape, filmed in Greenland) and correspond with home, via an amusing and always eating Mark Benton, whom, along with Rhys' wife, talk to them via satellite from a caravan in the middle of a field. Mangham's wife, meanwhile, jollies it up in the south of France with his old school-pal.Back in Greenland, the team's cameraman shoots an inquisitive polar bear and things start to fall apart and frictions arise between the two pals. Hot on the their trail are an organised and professional Norwegian team, competing under the same rules. When they catch up with our motley duo, they find that out that they happen to be a gay couple. Or were. A couple, that is. It's fresh and breezy, but never THAT funny and I found some of the relationship bickering a bit trying though overall, a fair stab at something a bit different and ultimately quite enjoyable.

info-650-510177 Went to see this film at a preview last week. The cast is superbly put together. I love to see a good British comedy and this has everything you want in it. Well known British comedy actors at their best.The storyline is cleverly written, current & emotive besides being very funny. It puts over the issues of climate change in a way that will make you think about what is happening to the planet and what you can do about it. There are some very memorable scenes that want to make you go see it again. Loved the hilarious scenes between the Brits and the Norwegians.Beyond the Pole 2 should be considered by the producers. Maybe vegetarian Salsa dancers go the pole next!D and R.

RayMillsMedia I was able to see this very original film over the summer as part of the reviewing process for a festival. I wished that we could have screened it, but we just didn't have enough programs to fit it in the schedule. The idea that a couple of guys who have never tried anything like going to the North Pole are going for it is interesting enough, but that they want to be the first vegan, carbon neutral team to make it adds a whole other layer of bizarreness to this wonderful mockumentary. The Norwegian team they are, sort of, competing against in their quest for the pole add a whole other layer of hilarity to this wacky comedy. This is very funny film and I hope will do well in the theaters. Go see it!

nikkiecostume This is a hilarious film, with an excellent cast. The scenery is unbelievably beautiful and really brings the point behind the plot home...that global warming is out of control and this natural beauty may not be around for much longer. Given the important message within the film, it is very funny and has lovely eye candy with Alexander Skarsgard, who plays his character as a gay explorer brilliantly – his biscuit scene is incredibly funny! There is an abundance of fine British comedy actors, Mark Benton is, as usual, brilliant but Stephan Mangan and Rhys Thomas undoubtedly steal the show. I left wanting more! I can't wait for this to be released, I'll definitely be buying the DVD when it, finally, gets released. So Don't Be Impotent – Be Important and go see this film!
