a5c7b9f00b U.S. Marshal Carrie Stetko is three days from the end of her tour at an international research station in Antarctica after which she&#39;ll resign. An incident from her past haunts her. The continent&#39;s first winter storm is coming when a body, wearing no gear, is discovered in the tundra. She investigates, soon finds more bodies, and must find a motive and a murderer before the storm and her departure. A U.N. agent, Robert Pryce, appears, seemingly out of nowhere, to help. An aging physician about to retire, a nervous mission chief, a downed Soviet plane, and the weather&#39;s deadly elements add to the story. Can Carrie trust Pryce and does she still have what it takes? U.S. Marshal Carrie Stetko tracks a killer in Antarctica,the sun is about to set for six months. You know the feeling when you or your kid drops their ice cream on the ground and it goes Ker-Plop? That describes my reaction to this film… Kate is on auto-pilot here and is not believablea US Marshal assigned to these frigid climes…particularly when being pursued in wintry wasteland all covered with snow. Too much reliance on CSI-type scenes where we are face first thrust into medical examination procedures. Tom Skerritt was well castDoc and fits right into the lost outpost scenes - the same scenario he was in way back when with the first Alien film (1979) and even the M.A.S.H. movie (1970) that preceded the TV series. Speaking of M.A.S.H. I can&#39;t remember another example where the public address announcer is assigned with such a key roleis demonstrated in Whiteout. You can&#39;t help but notice this voice-over technique employed to build tension. Eventually it became humorous which was not the desired impact. But watch it for the effortless and believable Tom Skerritt. After spending 4 seasons in McMurdo and knowing so many who were there over the past 8 years I found the film to be lessened by my stifled laughter at the technical parts of the story and how little the team researched the Ice in general. Believe me on this, I have read many stories which were even worse than this in terms of accuracywellplot but I was happy to walk away from this knowing that it had at least tried to capture some of the charm of working in such a desolate place and the kind of people who do work there, my friends. This also shows a category 3 storm fairly accurately.<br/><br/>While the plot did have more crevasses than the Ross Sea Ice Shelf and the storyline had more bounces than radar returns I was still impressed that they had acted decently enough and managed to accurately portray some of the lunacy that occurs on the Ice, the fun and obscure activities that we Icers deem normal or at least normal for people who would work in such a place. The movie may pick up an award for scenic interpretation but little else and a search for Icers knowledge would have given a great deal more depth and even a decent plot.<br/><br/>I am beginning to fear Kate Beckinsale becoming a new Peter Sellers and taking any job in the belief that she can make a silk purse from a sows ear. I hope Kate becomes a little more discerning in her picks in future and films about the Ice become a little more interesting or realistic, anyone recall Alien V Predator or The Thing? Suspend reality for 90 minutes and enjoy the scenery and if nothing else the many attempts to rescue the weak plot.
After two years stationed at Antarctica&#39;s South Pole research base, lone U.S. Marshal Carrie Stetko (<a href="/name/nm0000295/">Kate Beckinsale</a>) isanxiousanyone to be going home. She&#39;s turned in her resignation and is counting the hours and minutes to the last plane out. But three days before departure, a body turns up on the ice, and Carrie is immediately thrust into Antarctica&#39;s first murder investigation. As the death toll mounts, the mystery deepens with shifting loyalties, deadly whiteouts, and a relentless killer who will stop at nothing to protect a secret buried for over 60 years. Now with everyone around her packing up and getting out, Carrie must solve the crime before Antarctica is plunged into six months of darkness and she is stranded with the killer on a land where nothing comes in and no one gets out. Whiteout is adapted from a 4-issue comic-book miniseries written by Greg Rucka with art by Steve Lieber, published by Oni Press in 1998. The story was collecteda graphic novel in 2001. Much of the work at the station revolves around analysing core samples of ice. The Antarctic ice pack has been accumulating for millennia. As it accumulates, gas from the atmosphere is trapped in the ice. By drilling down into the ice and removing core samples, scientists can measure the composition of the atmosphere when the ice first formed. By examining other details of the ice, they can make judgements about temperature levels. Because the ice has been compressed under tons of more ice for millennia, the gas trapped in the ice is extremely compressed. If you put the ice in room temperature water or liquor, this compressed gas escapes, making it look like it is boiling.
