Beautiful scenes but a somewhat incredible story

Rating: 6/10 (11 January 2014)

I still remember the version of 1947 of this story with Danny Kaye and it is much funnier than this one. This is the story of an ordinary man who has got an ordinary job but who is a daydreamer engaging himself in extraordinary and sometimes terrible imaginary adventures in which he is a great hero. However for a certain moment on he's got a problem at work which forces him to engage in extraordinary unbelievable adventures in the real world which take him to such places as Greenland, Iceland and the Hymalaias in a short time so short that makes it also unbelievable as real. It could be accepted if it was object of his usual daydreaming. This is the weakest part of the movie. But the movie has got superb beautiful scenes and landscape visuals of those distant countries and regions which make its best part. If you are going to see this movie it will entertain you a bit anyway.
