<![CDATA[ilianFilm - Kon-Tiki]]>

I just saw the best film of 2012. Kon-Tiki is not only the best foreign film of last year, but it's the best film period. It grabs you and takes you on a journey few films can - forgetting where you are and caring about the characters.

It also begs the question; where have all the heros gone?

Where are the real heroes that made this small place called Earth a better place for all of us? It seems technology has wiped them out.

The story is great, the script is great, the acting is great and the special effects blend into one cohesive, beautiful film. The special effects are so real and at the same time unobtrusive that they take the story to a "humane" level.

The editing and the music are invisible but deeply felt. See it. It's good, it's better than good.
