Both turned into robots and fought to the death. The blue one won but in the last shot it hinted that he would soon rust.

I'm not sure but I think the tall young guy sort of dies at the end (but kind of activated some sort of beacon) and the crazy team leader just keeps walking and disappears

reply

Not too sure.

But the button the young guy had was lit up. and you saw a blinking light in the distance. So i guess the rescue people or some base camp was there.

The captain saw the rescue people there but turned around into the darkness and walked into it. Creepy...

So my guess is the younger guy was saved and the captain died.

Apologies in advance for lack of names, I just can't remember them.

I'm not sure where you've seen up to exactly, but do you see the part where they (i.e. the four suvivors left) reach the wooden shack. This may or may not be the Norweigen post (but unlikely considering the type of film this is). Personally I think its the one that the remaining British explorers built (alhtough unlikely) or found when they too were suffering from the same affliction affecting the Korean explorers.


There, the Captain has really flipped, although we know how he was losing his mind anyways. He aputated one of the others explorer's feet, I think its the cook's feet, as it was frostbitten. But it was the wrong one, but I think the Captain was too crazy to realise. So obviously the explorer is assumed to have died.


At the same time, the explorer in charge of recording everything (he's the one who wears glasses) decides to leave the group, as he know's how crazy the Captain is and steals the Emergency beacon and tries it, but the Captain has hidden the batteries. Not enitrely sure what happens, but I think he realises that he can't excape the place, I think like the British, and there appears to be two shacks in fairly close proximity to each other. So the glasses explorer kills himself in the second shack.

At the same time, the tall young explorer (who wass in awe of the Captain in the beginning) goes out looking for 'Glasses', and stumbles upon the second shack. There he has a vision, where he see the bodies of the British explorers. I think two or three are all decayed and lying on the floor. One of the bodies appears to be sitting up with his back to the 'tall and young'. Then 'tall and young' sees flashes of everything that has been happening during the expidition and the book, including the drawing of the the man sitting with his back to the artist in the journal.
So either the Koreans are exactly repeating what's happened before (likely) or it foretold what was going to happen to the Koreans (unlikely).
Then looking at the journal, there something in English (with a translation into Korean) but I couldn't read what it said. Maybe someone can elaborate. I think its about there was no real P.O.I .. and I definately could read the word 'hell', but that's all.

Then 'tall and young' is bought back to the present, and discovers the dying body of 'glasses'. He then rushes back to the other shack, where he finds Captain has killed 'Cook', so they have a bust up, then the wind blows violently and all the wood of the shack is blown apart. When 'tall and young' comes to, he find amongst the ruins the bodies of 'cook and glasses'.

He then carries onto ... the P.O.I, which is a wooden stake in the ground, just as the sun sets. At the same time, Captain suddenly appears and reaches P.O.I. They both talk, with the captain blaming 'tall and young' from not stopping him in trying to reach the P.O.I., even though so many bad things were happening, then Captain walks away into the darkness.

The camera then moves away from the P.O.I. and travels away over the mountains until we are far away, and probably back to where the Journal was first found, where lo and behole, the journal is back stuck in the snow. Then a voice-over calls out on the radio calling for the explorers, then fade to black.

Whew - I hope that this is understandable.
It left A LOT of unanswered questions.

What was the hand that was reaching the captain in that photo?

everybody died



When there's no more room in hell, The dead will walk the earth...

Actually I think in the end, the captain finally gives the batteries to the young guy for the beacon (that will enable the rescue helicopter to find him), as you can tell at the final scene, it was powered on. The captain is already at a distance, sees the young guy holding the beacon, but simply walks the other way...

Hope this helps.

reply

Yeah, it's kind of open-ended but the beacon is definitely on.
