...appropriate too. From the beginning, storytellers and listeners have rooted for the underdog. Women, typically smaller than men and less schooled in the art of physical revenge, are the ultimate little guys. David Koepp kept this in mind when writing his Panic Room script: "The story is about physical survival, so you want the odds to be stacked high against your lead.

...Final Fantasy movie didn’t do nearly as well as Square hoped. The viewing public, it seems, is largely indifferent to paralytically cool fictitious machinery with 3-D holographic interfaces. Even I found my die-hard square loyalty taxed by the unamazing script. Word on the street has it that the company’s re-evaluating it’s direction.

But Branagh makes Shackleton a very human icon, hubristic but good-humored. The explorer later died trying another Antarctic mission, so one shouldn't oversell his lessons. Still, Shackleton is a well-executed reminder that failure can breed success...
