3.0 out of 5 stars Kate stays bundled up...well, most of the time, September 12, 2009
By Monkdude (Hampton, Virginia) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I didn't quite know what to expect when I sat down in the theater today to watch Whiteout. The trailers led me to believe it would be some sort of supernatural type film set in Antarctica, but I wasn't really sure if it was just the weather that would be the evil force or some sort of creature. It was none of the above. Whiteout is really just a typical thriller/mystery that happens to occur on the coldest land mass in the world. It involves some murders back in 1957 and few more in present day that Kate's character investigates. Within the first ten minutes you get the gorgeous Kate Beckinsale stripping down to her undies (always a good thing), but I didn't expect that to be the films only true highlight. Other than her obvious use in that particular scene, I can't believe they casted a good looking woman only to cover her up from head to toe and in multiple layers for the last 90 minutes. Not to mention a giant snow hat on her head. Anyways, most of the acting was okay I guess. Kind of bland, but nothing noticeably bad.

Whiteout is actually pretty darn entertaining if you take it for what it is and don't expect anything special. It deserves better than all the negative reviews it is receiving from the critics, but I have to admit that without the early gratuitous scene or the atmospheric location, I probably wouldn't give this thing more that two stars. You might get a couple of shivers from this one, but those looking for some true frostbite should stick with John Carpenter's The Thing.

3.0 out of 5 stars Murder in a Very Cold Place..., September 19, 2009
"Whiteout" is an implausible but enjoyable thriller set at the South Pole. In its opening sequence, set in 1957, a Soviet cargo plane carrying a mysterious cargo goes down somewhere in Antarctica. In the present, the Amundsen-Scott Scientific Station at the South Pole is preparing to rotate out its summer crew and batten down for the winter darkness, just ahead of an approaching storm. US Marshal Carrie Stetko (Kate Beckinsale) is preparing to depart, along with her doctor friend (a grizzled but amiable Tom Skerrit).

The discovery of a body on the ice triggers an investigation that leads in short order to an old Soviet scientific station, another dead body, a killer, and the Soviet cargo plane, minus its mysterious cargo. Stetko is assisted in her investigation by the doctor, an aircraft pilot (Columbus Short) and a UN Security Officer (Gabriel Macht). The group, almost inevitably, becomes trapped in an evacuated station with the killer or killers.

Stetko, traumatized by betrayal in a previous assignment told in flashback, finds she can't trust anyone in her present. The action sequences inside and outside the station work well, moving the audience quickly past some plot holes and cold weather implausibilities to a twisty ending. "Whiteout" isn't going to win any awards, but manages to be moderately entertaining. Canada does stand in for the Antarctic with some stunning exteriors.

1.0 out of 5 stars More entertaining to watch myself freeze to death..., April 9, 2010
This review is from: Whiteout (DVD)
Seriously.

Walk into a freezer and sit there for a couple hours. It'll be more entertaining and less painful than Whiteout.

Predictible, uncreative, unresearched, inconsistent... Kate Beckinsale IS hot, but her performance was unconvincing. I'm a US Marshall, but every time I see a dead guy I have a flashback every five minutes - her character was sent to Antartica for a REASON -> that reason is because she's S-T-U-P-I-D. "Why are there bullet holes in the plane?" "How come the pilots stopped breathing?" "Why did the plane rittled with bullet holes and with both of it's pilots dead crash?" "Is it possible for ANY surgeon or medical person to have been trained to give stitches in the same manner?" "Why does my kitties breath smell like kitty food?" That's about the depth of the MYSTERY in this movie.

Tom Skerritt was actually the best performer in the film - and that says something. Respect to Tom. Infact, I'm tempted to end myself right now the same way Tom did... by saying, "Duces to this lame movie! I'm going outside to freeze to death rather than participate any further is this farce!!!!"
