This film is a great comedy and the characters are really well written, their interaction makes the film work. It's roots in radio comedy are a positive strength in the depiction of the characters, there is a great cast too. This sends up several of the 'adventure documentaries' that are currently prevalent on the TV. It also puts across the environmental message regarding global warming, but not in a 'tub-thumping' way. There are several scenes that I am sure are very like the real life experiences of people who do this sort of thing and the pressure of spending a lot of time, with a limited amount of people, in a fight for survival boils over several time in some hilarious scenes. This is a great film, carefully crafted. If you get the chance to see it with a Q&A make sure you take it, we saw it at Wells and David L. Williams was brilliant, very interesting and open, his passion for film-making and this film in particular is very clear and infectious.
