The Great Alaskan Race

Historical accuracy anyone? Tha actual feat of transporting the diphtheria vaccine deserves a far better movie than this piffle. A client made me watch it, is my excuse. If you aren't forced to, don't watch.

I really wanted to like this movie but sadly it was completely impossible! I mean, it tells the story where sled dogs were in the main role, but in this movie the sled dogs are hardly even showed. People are talking more about Togo than actually showing him. Also the story of Seppala's wife etc are completely different in this movie than in real life. Movie makes drama to there where it wasn't. Unfortunately watching this was completely waste of time.

Pros: Absolutely gorgeous score. Excellent acting by Treat Williams. Cons: EVERYTHING ELSE Leonhard Seppala met and married Constance YEARS before this movie took place, and Sigrid was their daughter. Seppala never had an Inuit wife. There were LITERALLY PHOTOS AND VIDEOS at the end of the movie that show what Sepp and Togo actually looked like, but the characters in the film are not even close. Poor filming, terrible acting by Presley (among others), huge historical inaccuracies. Do yourselves a favor and just watch Disney's Togo. Infinitely better all around and IMO much more historically accurate.

Watched TOGO last week...great movie...What movie started in production first ? Terrible acting....nice cinematography....but couldn't get into it at all. Maybe a good Hallmark movie when nothing else is on.

Another captivating angle to this incredible story. All of the films about this historic true event are very good, including this version. I recently watched the movie Togo and thought that it was pretty good, which is what you would expect from a Disney film. This may not be Disney's Togo, but--it is actually just as good or...better? This film provides a warm and interesting reflection of the man who contributed 80% of the rescue effort, Leonard Shepard. His own daughter was one of the sick children, which was a very compelling motivation for Mr. Shepard to get the serum back to Nome expeditiously.

I really enjoyed this film. The acting was good and the scenery beautiful and it is based on a true story.

Just watch Togo with Willem Dafoe. I expect they put cheap knockoffs like this out because they know people will get confused and pay to watch the wrong movie.

Horrible acting, filmed in Colorado instead of Alaska, no real Inuit actors.

Literally just read the title... Then read the title again in case you didn't quite get it the first time... Then read it one more time to be sure! 1/10
