Sinopsis(1)
Kon-Tiki' nos sitúa en 1947, cuando el mundo se sorprendió por el entusiasmo del joven antropólogo y aventurero noruego Thor Heyerdahl al emprender una expedición asombrosa y peligrosa: un viaje de 8.000 kilómetros a través del océano Pacífico a bordo de la balsa Kon-Tiki. Sus investigaciones durante los años que vivió en las Islas Marquesas con su esposa, le hicieron llegar a la conclusión que la Polinesia había sido colonizada por los habitantes de América del Sur, llegando desde el Este. Contra todas las opiniones de los expertos, Thor decidió probar su teoría, realizando él mismo, el legendario viaje. Después de reproducir el diseño de la balsa original, Thor y cinco amigos aventureros iniciaron el viaje desde Perú, teniendo que sobrevivir a las tormentas, tiburones y todos los peligros inimaginables que el océano les tenía reservados. El viaje épico del Kon-tiki marcó una generación que vivió a través de los ojos de Thor Heyerdahl una de las aventuras más épicas del siglo XX. Un viaje que el mismo protagonista rodó y presentó en un documental que ganó el Oscar en 1952. (A Contracorriente Films)

Una bonita coproducción europea con espíritu y bellos efectos visuales. Un grupo de aventureros en una gran balsa en un crucero de tres meses por el Pacífico. Hay indicios de ambiente claustrofóbico y de tormenta, pero no tienes la sensación de estar viéndolos por enésima vez. Y los encuentros con ballenas o tiburones, que parecen más creíbles que en el espectáculo de Hollywood, y que desmienten el tópico de que un tiburón, por muy hambriento que esté, es ajeno a la forma del cuerpo humano y no ataca. Una película que no es un encargo del estudio, sino un divertido trabajo en equipo para contar una bonita historia real. Con la creencia en el éxito y la firmeza de la voluntad se cruza un océano.

I have always admired Thor Heyerdahl and the expedition he went on with five friends. So I was looking forward to the film. And I'm only half satisfied. I'm not going to fault him for showing many things only briefly, he couldn't have avoided that even with twice the runtime, but what about the script? I can still understand the involvement of Heyerdahl's personal life, which he doesn't write a word about in the book (also why would he, the book is about adventure, not a marital crisis), but I don't understand at all why the screenwriter had to inoculate the Kon-Tiki crew with cabin fever, why he made Herman Watzinger such an unsympathetic nuisance, and where on earth he came up with the maelstrom at the Galapagos or the stupidity of the thirteenth wave. I really don't know why there is a need to shove conflict and drama into everything. The book describes the voyage as a great adventure of six grown-up boys who were mainly caught in storms; Heyerdahl is silent about their disputes, if any. Too bad the film isn't like that too. It could have been better.

Somewhat melodramatic, but definitely some damn good cinema, especially during the crucial part on the raft. The directors’ duo Rønning/Sandberg is getting progressively better with each movie, and the brilliant cast led by Ryan Gosling’s identical twin in the role of Thor “can’t see the wood for the trees" Heyerdahl. We definitely need a sequel about Eduard Ingriš; and right away.

An absolutely great adventurous piece, which manages to do a lot with its small budget. I like that the creators were able to tell a story as important as Thor’s voyage on the Kon-Tiki raft through the Pacific, accomplishing something absolutely incredible, in such a beautiful manner. I liked how the voyagers were able to blend with nature perfectly. They used nature to accomplish what barely one percent of the population can do today. They were able to use nature to prove hitherto unbelievable theories. Sure, we’d rather have a simpler explanation than think about the more complicated one. And the fact that thousands of years ago people did many things that the world’s top scientists can’t explain rationally to this day is actually something that few people want to admit. This makes the Kon-Tiki voyage important also in this respect, and I’m very glad that I was able to see such a story, and I’m even happier that the two Norwegians went so crazy for this story that they could make such a perfect film about it.
