Despite this movie depicting Thor Heyerdahl's theorem on how South Americans may have been able to cross the Pacific on a balsa wood raft followed by Heyerdahl and his crew actually conducting the trip, this movie is not set to be a documentary but rather a drama, action, adventure movie. Movie contains great photos, are at times visually wonderful and we witness how the theorem is set into place, the money funding issues and the life on the raft. The act is somewhat theatrically at times. The clipping may suggest several potential turning points or endings by the director even though this cannot be said for sure, however, some of the events are very over-dramatic and midways several events takes place in which the solution to those problems are never really revealed. Movie does not contain enough material to fill the whole length of the movie and hence the extra drama, also containing non-logical events makes parts of the movie boring at best, if not annoying. A movie with nice photos and good momentum at times!
