A sad movie that may have worked better if they had (as was done in the book) let you know the ending from the start, I really enjoyed this. As a kid this was my greatest fantasy, although 1) I would have not gone to Alaska, it's too freaking cold and 2) I think I could have managed to feed myself next to a river in the wilderness. I mean, it's not that hard to find bug as a last ditch effort to feed yourself, even if that's more protien than energy. Ah well
Beautifuly filmed and asks some hard questions, like do we need other people to be happy, why do we accept the "expected" path for our lives and why are people so mean to each other. Decent acting, although sometimes the main person was a bit too angelic. Overall this was an excellent film with some great ideas and quite entertaining for something as thought provoking as it was.
A-
