Had the potential, but sadly 'Amundsen' underwhelms. It's a fascinating biopic idea, given it's about the life of Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen.

Had the potential, but sadly 'Amundsen' underwhelms. It's a fascinating biopic idea, given it's about the life of Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen. It holds all the ingredients to create a riveting film, but unfortunately it doesn't reach the heights it perhaps should've. I think the biggest annoyance/frustration with this is how the story is unveiled. They reveal it in boring fashion through the voices of others, with it being told in both the native tongue and English. Both those things stopped me from creating a connection to the characters. I like the cast, though. Pål Sverre Hagen leads strongly in the main role, while Christian Rubeck gives a good performance too. The rest of the support cast are solid if forgettable, with Katherine Waterston being the most memorable. Cinematography is nice, though the ageing effects aren't the best. All in all, it isn't one I'd recommend.
