The movie has a nice look -- gray, rusted metal exposed to Siberian and Bering Strait snow. What it lacks is coherence and a compelling reason for us to take this often-abrupt journey with Aurora, Toorop and Sister Rebeka.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Skip it aggressively.
I unfortunately had a seat that faced the screen and I have two hours of my life that I will never get back.
With his face like a squashed doughnut, and physique like the tyres of a huge truck, Diesel just doesn't inhabit the same planet as Rampling or even Kassovitz himself.
This is a case of a potentially epic tale being pruned and diced to the point where its underlying ideas are reduced to trite cliches.
