About
If you want a spare, emotionally heavy survival story in brutal cold, Arctic is likely to deliver; Not for you if you dislike slow-paced minimal dialogue or prefer more action variety like The Mountain Between Us or All Is Lost.
Pros: standout survival tension; mostly quiet, gripping; strong lead performance | Cons: bland script; slow pacing; divisive ending
