Now, as I discovered on Amazon Instant Video "Kon-Tiki" from the year 2012 my heart began to pound wildly and I had to see the movie immediately. And no, it's not a documentary, it's an emotional film which shows very precisely the naivete in occasionally slapstick moments, but usually rather the enthusiasm of the team for their unique projects and rarely the burgeoning despair in the face of outright negligence led Odyssey. The book is as much more critical and reflected more intensely the drama of the disintegrating ropes and to vollsaugende balsa wood again. The film proved huge hits with fantastic images of whale sharks, the Riffüberquerung, shark attacks etc. and stands with his pictures Life of Pi - Shipwreck with Tiger in every way, except that there are real experiences and not fantastic stories.
Toll I find that in the movie there are no unnecessary lengths. So is the entire history - and alone is very impressive and stretches over many years - told in twenty minutes, allowing time for the actual expedition remains. If execution and expiration of the Pacific crossing from seafaring perspective you look - I have sailed even a few years a classic two-master (Yawl) and experienced a shipwreck in the Mediterranean - then frightens a confidence Heyerdahl in the Balsaholzfloss very. Downright silly appears discarding the steel cables, but a scientifically portable evidence of colonization of Polynesia from South America a modern reworking would have been the end.
I've seen the movie to Prime Instant Video (in the best HD quality sound and German), but now even grabbed him as a Blu-Ray on my wish list, because it would also be very interested me the bonus material.
