Mark this down as another movie that looks right up my alley. Danish filmmaker Peter Flinth teams with Nikolaj Coster-Waldau to give us one of those “based on an unbelievable true story” movies. In addition to its compelling historical bend, the movie also looks to be a gripping and possibly terrifying survival story. The first trailer looks great and gives us plenty to chew one.
Coster-Waldau plays Captain Ejnar Mikkelsen, a polar explorer who is tasked with retrieving the findings of a Danish expedition lost in the frozen tundra of North-Eastern Greenland. Only one man volunteers to accompany Mikkelsen on his treacherous journey – a young mechanic played by Joe Cole. Shot on location in Iceland and Greenland, the movie looks to fully embrace the dangers of its setting. I love the look of this.
“Against the Ice” premieres on Netflix March 2nd. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

This looks good. I hope to check it out as well.
Yep. Could be a really good grab for Netflix.
Seein’ it! Looks like an icy good thriller to round out the winter🥶 Stories about surviving cold climates just boggle my mind. The Revenant, Shackleton’s South Pole expedition… Chilling!
Same here. Did you ever see “Arctic” with Mads Mikkelsen? If not, it’s definitely one to add to that list.
Oh cool Mikkelsen sounds perfect for a role in that!
He’s amazing in it.
If ever I were to be trapped in a frozen tundra with someone, I’d want it to be with Nicolaj lol
Haaaaa! 😄
p.s. Somebody needs to make a movie about this woman:

Ada Blackjack. I’d watch that movie!
Maybe we can convince Maggie G to direct?
Yes!
🟣 Pass 💤 🟣
Yep! I’m in for this!
Me too! I love the look of this. Cold gritty survival-based true story. I’m in.
Perhaps the movie that Neeson’s The Ice Road could have been . . .? I am down for this. I love me some drama set in extreme environments!
Hmmm. I can honestly say I never made the connection between this and Neeson’s flick. LOL
