Adventure. Drama The Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl crossed the Pacific ocean in a balsa wood raft in 1947, to prove that South Americans in pre-Columbian times could have crossed the sea and settle on Polynesian islands. Thor, together with five men, set off on an epic 101 days long trip across 8000 kilometers filled with storms, sharks and hunger, while the world was waiting for the result.

United States	Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"Thor Heyerdahl's legendary rafting expedition gets glossy treatment in this handsome but underwhelming action-adventure"	NEU
United States	Andrew Barker Variety	"A visually impeccable, professionally crafted modern vessel that lacks any of the patched-together soul of its subject"	NEU
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"There’s no denying the real Heyerdahl’s bravery, but if this movie is to be believed, his voyage was largely bereft of tension and interesting conversation."	NEU
United States	Rex Reed The New York Observer	"As an epic of awesome achievement, it never bores. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Joe Neumaier New York Daily News	"This terrific film certainly contains the spark of discovery. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"	POS
