It's definitely watchable and fairly entertaining, but it could have been a film to remember with that type of setting and the plot, and unfortunately I guessed the twist at the end halfway through the movie. The negative thing about Whiteout though is, I didn't think it took advantage of its immense potential. I give big props to the film cast for having to go through such a rigorous weather treatment, but it made for a fairly effective movie. There is a dull section in the middle that's hard to get through, but the fairly exciting finale makes up for that in my opinion. Whiteout isn't as bad as people are claiming it is, in fact I had an OK time with it, when all was said and done. If you don't get it, go watch some Merchant-Ivory drawing room masterpiece, and we'll all be happy. I've watched it several times on DVD, and expect to enjoy it quite a few more. But it delivers the goods where it counts. It's a 'genre' film, with few if any artistic pretensions. this review is going to get enough down-checks as it is.) Bottom line, Whiteout is a pile of fun. But, again, no worse than in many movies that get a 10/10 from every blockhead on Earth. there were a few bits of logic that could have been tighter. Did I have problems with the writing? Okay. But in a little action flick like this one, I wasn't bothered - at all. Too many people walking around bareheaded and such.
True, the cold is not treated realistically. And I loved the various ways that the frozen environment is brought in as an element in the story.
I loved the idea of setting an action-mystery in this odd locale, and I greatly enjoyed the way the mystery unraveled - predictable though it may have been. The supporting characters are just fine as well. Kate Beckinsale isn't in the front ranks of thespians, but she's a solid leading lady, and brings a good mix of likability, vulnerability and toughness to this part.
(There aren't nearly enough of them!) I loved the characters.

ANY movie set in the confines of an Antarctic research station is okay with me. What did I like about Whiteout? I loved the setting. But in a world where old Charlie Chan pot-boilers have a cult following, and boneheaded Spielberg spectaculars are considered works of genius, I'd say that Whiteout definitely has a place.
