Watch Kon Tiki Movie (2013)

Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl crossed the Pacific ocean in a balsa wood raft in 1947, together with five men, to prove that South Americans already back in pre-Columbian times could have crossed the sea and settle on Polynesian islands. After gathering financing for the trip with loans and donations, they set off on an epic 101 day-long journey across 8,000 kilometers, all while the world was watching. KON-TIKI tells about the origin of Heyerdahl's idea and the events surrounding the group's voyage.(c) Weinstein

Critic Reviews for Kon Tiki

• Steven Rea - Philadelphia Inquirer : Kon-Tiki is a widescreen man-against-nature epic, beautifully shot and boasting seamless, stunning visual effects.
• Tom Long - Detroit News : "Kon-Tiki" is awesome in the true sense of the word: You sit in awe of the bravery, audacity, stupidity and natural power on display. Ah, to imagine and dream. And to go forth.
• John Hartl - Seattle Times : How much is fiction and how much is deliberate confusion?
• Rafer Guzman - Newsday : Upbeat and less exciting than you might wish, though it could be a good adventure film for older kids.
• Ben Sachs - Chicago Reader : The characters don't register as much more than genre archetypes, but that doesn't spoil the fun, since the filmmakers re-create the journey in such vivid detail.
