i didn't know a whole lot about Ernest Shackleton,so this film was an eye opener for me.the title says it all,of course.it's a wonderful documentary very in depth and concise.Liam Neeson is the perfect voice of the narrator.there are also some reenacted moments which are also well done.plus, a good deal of the film taken by the camera man on the crew of The endurance survives,and so we see some of the events as they actually took place.one thing that struck me:back in 1914,people were made of sturdier stuff.as a society we have gotten so soft,that there are very few people today that would attempt what Shackleton did.for me,The Endurance: Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition is a 10/10

I'm not certain what compelled me to see this film. I think it had something to do with Liam Neeson narrating, and the fact I knew nothing about Shackleton or any legendary antarctic expedition. So when I sat down in the movie theater to see this film, I feared I was forcing myself to see a dry documentary. On the contrary, it was fabulous! The film brought the expedition to life by showing photographs and historic reels, and beautifully conveyed the sense of being on that journey and the sheer magnitude of its undertaking. I was lost in their world and amazed at the strength (and sheer luck) of these men. Definitely worth seeing on the big screen. 9/10

This film is unbelievable because it puts together the remains of actual original footage and photos with carefully and sensitively delivered narratives and modern color shots to create an almost impossible whole. The success of this movie is that these pieces all come together to give you an almost total experience. At first the pace and material seem somewhat slow perhaps even a bit boring. But this is even better because without changing format, the content builds until you are shaking your head and grimacing in disbelief.
I did not know the story of Shakleton - so I was even more awe struck. How could any people have endured this? When you leave the theater you have indeed been on the expedition yourself and you are glad to be alive.L. Spaiser

Endurance, the Shackleton expedition is more compelling depending on how the viewer views the material. I stayed awake throughout (the candy and soda helped, but still), but that might not be the case for the entire audience. The tale tells of Ernest Shackleton (is that his name), an expeditioner who took a crew of men on an expedition to search more of the Antarctic continent. This turned out to be not the case, however, as they had to endure the loss of their endurance ship, a number of crew members, and most of the morale that came with them in the beginning, but they still had to pull through, to survive to get back home. Compelling from a view it more or less stays on that track with some interesting and poignant interviews with historians and relatives of the crew on the voyage. It does get a tad boring in parts though; Liam Neeson provides narration. B
