I was very excited about this movie, to finally be very disappointed. There seems to be no structure, random things happen all the time and the humour is cringe. Very mediocre acting, bad lines, and honestly, I feel like Ruben Ostlund could do a copyright claim on this. Vivaldi's four seasons with snow shots, a random drone pov shot in a hotel room, literally copied from Force Majeure. And stealing the idea of his future movie, about a flight going wrong? Ridiculous. Also some very unrealistic scenarios in it, which do not make sense. Barely any character development. Bad movie, not funny but lame. Not worth it.

The course's final challenge is an experience flight from London to Iceland, which ends up being a horrendous ordeal. Lost in Iceland, freezing and terrified, they must find a way of facing their fears and working together to spread their wings... and fly.

Bad copycat of Ostlund movies
Very silly, had me chuckling proper
I've no idea why this has such a low rating. I thought it was really funny and just the right side of bonkers!
I only watched it because it was listed under 'deadly disasters' on Netflix, even though the blurb didn't seem to match that description. So, I presume people expecting an actual disaster movie would be disappointed. I guessed it was probably more of a comedy and was pleasantly surprised that it was so good.
It's definitely worth an evening's watch on the sofa, especially if you fancy something light and a bit silly.
And hats off to the lead for all that running about in the freezing cold!
