Kon Tiki

Kon Tiki was okay, but I had trouble sympathizing with Thor Heyerdahl because he looked and acted like an 80s movie villain. If there's one thing I know, it's that no one wants the bad guy from The Karate Kid to successfully prove a human migration theory. Plus the filmmakers added a lot of fake drama that I bet didn't actually happen, and left out important details (like, the crew was maintaining the raft all along, reinforcing lashing and what not, not just sitting there watching it fall apart, get your experimental archaeology right, DUHHHHHH). I recommend you watch the original documentary, which is amazing.

It's not Topkapi, that's for sure. Nobody ends up in a Turkish prison in Kontiki, right? (Oh, spoilers.)
