Nova Zembla (2011)
4/10
pity, unfortunately
27 November 2011
Warning: Spoilers
The idea is good, decors are very well thought of and very well done. Amsterdam and the scenery's are a charm to watch. (some minor mistakes, but hey, you can't have it all ;-)) Unfortunately the story is a bit thin and bleak, casting is way off Doutzen is more being a 21th century (very nice) model, than a 15th century girl, Robert is not convincing in his acting and does not fit the role at all. Derek and Victor ... well I have seen them way better before. Teun is not being convincing in his role as 'the bad guy' at all Highlights were Jan Declair as Plancius and Semmy Schilt as Claes.

Technically the 3D performance was not adding much to the experience (done because they were able to??) some scenes were even disturbingly bad in 3D quality. The ship is nicely done, and is very well thought of in details.

All in all, expensive movie (12,5 euro's) for 2 hours of disappointment with a few highlights in performance, story or scenery
