Trivia
The drunken helicopter pilot jokes that "There are like eight people in Greenland". When Walter goes to Greenland, he only sees eight different people.

Goofs
The dogs shown outside in Greenland are not authentic Greenlandic sled dogs, the only dogs allowed in Greenland. This is only true north of latitude 66, and Nuuk is well south of this. In fact, Greenland Dogs are likewise not allowed south of the 66th, specifically to avoid interbreeding.

Quotes
Sean O'Connell: Beautiful things don't ask for attention.

Crazy credits
The making and authorized distribution of this film supported over 15,000 jobs and involved hundreds of thousands of work hours.

Alternate versions
The UK release was cut, the distributor was advised that the film was likely to receive a 12A classification but that their preferred PG classification could be obtained by making limited changes, including to remove sight of naked female pin-up pictures and to reduce violent threat in a fight scene. When an edited version of the film was submitted for formal classification, these scenes had been addressed and the film was consequently classified PG.

8/10

7.3 but still underrated

My first watch in the cinema was ok, but somehow I was expecting more, what exactly, I'm not so sure. 2nd watch without the expectations was much better. 3rd watch and I now think this is an exceptional film, good story line, strong performances, the scenery, the soundtrack, it's like Indiana Jones decided to become the lead singer of The Strokes or something like that, nuts I know. A solid 8/10.
