Excellent slow buildup, very believable. Second half all got a bit dull and the ending sadly didn't live up to the early promise of the film. Splendid scenery, but the CGI polar bear left a bit to be desired.

Promised a lot but delivered not very much
Was great until it wasn't
At the end of this movie it says This film was shot in 16 days by 16 people. That's pretty amazing considering it had an interesting plot, a very unique location for filming and the acting was just fine. The camera didn't bounce all over the place and the movie wasn't shot in the dark so you couldn't see what was going on. I enjoyed this movie quite a bit and cared about the characters. Then, the ending. Or lack thereof. I don't know who thought up the ridiculous ending, but someone, anyone should have laughed and said, "No, really. How are we ending this story?"
"This is gonna be our best episode yet"
Well I liked the cinematography and the locations, particularly the deserted mining camp, but otherwise the film just left me bored. The plot about the mysterious sonic weapon had potential but limped along tediously until the very weak ending. When watching a film one likes to know what happens to characters in the end but the baffling way this concludes is just annoying. The main three characters, Ray and Alan and Sean, are onscreen most of the time and frankly are not memorable at all. The deaths of two of them make no impact. The actors playing those roles are bland. The constant music score, mainly whining, mars the film. In that bleak Arctic setting silence would have been golden. I struggled to get to the end and for my valiant effort was truly disappointed.
The only character I liked was Jim played by Rune Temte. He at least was entertaining.
