Movie Watch Time : The Bear Island (1979) based on Alistair MacLean's novel

Tweet

A remote sub-polar region Freezing Island. A Scientist gone dead mysteriously. A scientific UN sponsored team with scientists from various countries but many with a Nazi Past/mindset and unknown secrets. Well, that sets the stage for the movie adaptation of Alistair MacLean's 1971 novel: The Bear Island. This movie was directed by Don Sharp and starred Donald Sutherland, Vanessa Redgrave, Richard Widmark, Christopher Lee and Lloyd Bridges. The scientific team sets a base on this remote Norweigian island : Bear Island. However, there are some people who get killed. There are some accidents and a few people are discovered with ulterior motives. Of course, the protagonist played by Sutherland overcomes the bad guys and restores sanity. Overall, the movie is a fine watch but nothing much spectacular except for a few action scenes. Wikipedia shows that the movie did not fare well enough and received criticism for a not so good acting as well as dullness in the overall scheme of things. My say: watch it if you like such Science-Action-Advetures and the look of snow all around!
