Kon-Tiki movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Michael Nordine, L.A. Weekly: Could have used a bit more blood in the water, but its crystal-clear waves are a sight to behold nevertheless. Read more
Manohla Dargis, New York Times: The men are handsome, the sea is pretty and if the sharks look as rubbery as last week's chicken, at least they add some drama - and buckets of sloshing blood and guts - to what otherwise proves a dull affair. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: One of the goals of a great outdoor epic is to keep you breathless with wonder. Technically, dramatically and cinematically awesome, Kon-Tiki delivers in spades. Read more
John Hartl, Seattle Times: How much is fiction and how much is deliberate confusion? Read more
Sam Adams, AV Club: Although Heyerdahl's book about the expedition became an international bestseller, and the documentary he directed on the same subject won an Oscar, the anthropology field has remained stubbornly unmoved. But in Kon-Tiki, the dream is all that matters. Read more
Randy Cordova, Arizona Republic: Unfortunately, sharks and whales aren't the stars of the film, so the movie is a pretty humdrum affair when it focuses on humans, even when actors are playing characters based on real people. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: "Kon-Tiki" is stalwart and uplifting and there are passing moments of wonder. Read more
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. Read more
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. Read more
Cary Darling, Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com: Kon-Tiki has the look and feel of a big, bracing adventure. It skirts many of the emotional issues in favor of high adventure with hungry sharks and monster storms. Read more
Sheri Linden, Hollywood Reporter: Thor Heyerdahl's legendary rafting expedition gets glossy treatment in this handsome but underwhelming action-adventure. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: "Kon-Tiki" is a ripping yarn torn from yesterday's headlines. Read more
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: A thrilling introduction to one of the more remarkable adventures of the post-World War II world. Read more
Rafer Guzman, Newsday: Upbeat and less exciting than you might wish, though it could be a good adventure film for older kids. Read more
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News: The top-notch adventure tale "Kon-Tiki" is an old-fashioned entertainment, complete with a lead who physically recalls Peter O'Toole in "Lawrence of Arabia." Read more
Kyle Smith, New York Post: It's a terrifically engaging throwback to the uplifting, irony-free, outdoorsy '60s Disney yarns ... Read more
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer: Kon-Tiki is a widescreen man-against-nature epic, beautifully shot and boasting seamless, stunning visual effects. Read more
Donald Liebenson, Chicago Sun-Times: While the wind goes out of its sails a few times along the way, this is a ravishingly photographed, old-fashioned man-against-the-elements adventure epic propelled by human-scaled heroics. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: The film harks back to the era of "Swiss Family Robinson," when films were like well-made hospital beds, all four corners neatly tucked. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: Most everyone loves a ripping good sea yarn, so why doesn't Kon-Tiki rip? Read more
Linda Barnard, Toronto Star: Part history lesson, part classic adventure tale and often stunning to watch. Read more
