Encounters at the End of the World (***)

Werner Herzog has made a career out of depicting man confronting the extreme. His recent work includes Grizzly Man, a documentary about a man killed by the creatures he sought to protect, and Rescue Dawn, the Christian Bale-starring POW drama. In Antarctica, those with a taste for the extreme congregate. Here, the only continent where Herzog had not made a movie, he finds scientists as well as those doing the more mundane work that supports them.
