Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Arctic (2019)

A man is stranded in a frozen wasteland after his plane crashes. We join him weeks into his ordeal -- he's got fishing lines going and has been attempting to send radio signals from various locations in the vicinity. Eventually a potential rescuer becomes another survivor for whom he must care.

Mads Mikkelsen is fantastic as our hero. In the first half, I was riveted. Once the story became a trek, however, it got to feeling a little monotonous. Also, I kept wondering how his companion was peeing and pooping.
