I can see what they were aiming for, but 1 star for sure. I didn't feel any emotions, good or bad, since the characters were so unbelievable, just frustration at such wasted potential. - The characters don't make sense as human beings, and therefore the emotions are completely unrelatable. It was trying to convey totally real emotions that describe a love triangle without either actor or director knowing what those emotions are! Is if turning up and taking your clothes off is enough to immerse people in the plethora of twisted emotions those conflicting desires have. - The plots jumps around all over the place randomly between three or four time points for little to no reason. - Random edgy camera angles that add nothing. - Utterly sporadic slow-motion shots with techno music blaring as if it's meant to make the sense of the scene. - Took about 20 minutes for the excruciating finale of the film to end.

I haven't been so moved by a film in a while. The music is just utterly powerful, and the violin chills you to the bone with wisps and fragments of memory that accompany it. The story keeps you thinking, an eerie dark dwelling presence in the back of your mind. Every scene bringing a new element of how we try to cope with pain, loss and guilt as we slowly see demons become human in the light of their trauma.

This film was SO bad I felt the needed to go out of my way and find somewhere to rate it 1 star. Nothing the unwitting cast could have done with this material. I couldn't quite tell if it was a dry comedy, an action thriller, or a subtle comment on egotism and narcissism in modern social media culture. Either way you will be crying before the end. Utterly ridiculous plot. Why on earth would you stream a man hunt live. Apart from the blindly obvious draw backs it is just disrespectful to the little girl and her father! Attempting to sell her torture for pubic entertainment whilst revelling in their own celebrity, all the while throwing back humourless quips in a serious time dependent situation is so selfish, inhuman and insensitive it almost makes the bad guy take the moral high ground. I was so infuriated after 30 minutes, when the film seems to glorify crowds of people filming a car crash for social media likes rather than actually help anyone involved, that I had to take 5 minutes to myself. Whats more, the car crash and pretty much every issue/death later in the film is caused by the second lead gorging on unnecessary dangerous situations like ticking off a bucket list! Get a job you youth! The film followed in the foot steps of the Martian or Gladiator, pitting someone against adversity whilst watched by millions in an attempt to rouse the inherent underlying desire that we all want to be revered. Unfortunately, the tasteless combination of forced banter, and prioritising social media coverage in a devastatingly serious situation leaves a bitter taste. The characters do not act like people, and the majority of the scenes feel like they were put together from a manual on how to make a 'well-good' action thriller by a 10-year old. Unoriginal, and fake suet just waiting to be stuffed down your eager gullet, what a good consumer you are. After a while a you stop struggling whilst a warm numbness settles in, washing away thoughts of plot or substance. Much like an antarctic explorer a little too far away from base camp whilst his mind drifts from the harsh reality of the situation to just HOW pretty the snow is; and the slow onset of hypothermia takes hold. All you can do is accept your fate with a smile; and laugh at your slow death. Or just turn it off.

Great article on a harrowing reminder to respect nature. Obviously what Timothy did was wrong for both himself and Amie, let alone the implications of familiarising bears with humans, but unlike a lot of the reviews I can't find myself laying the blame on him. I feel that in his head, he was helping, and he wasn't putting Amie in danger. It's almost more a tale of how someone can be so bruised in life that they have to push all the painful and human choices they have made away. Ignoring and shunning the more aggressive and confrontational side of humanity and falling back on a kind of Disney perception of right and wrong. Saying that, I feel that Timothy was always a submissive person by nature, a 'patsy' as he says. Nothing wrong with that, but perhaps he was always disappointed that he wasn't more of an action hero, and deliberately put himself in dangerous situations to prove that idea wrong. Who knows, all I can defiantly say is that he was very childlike, and obviously wanted to deny his more human, selfish side and stay in a protected, child-like world as a 'good guy'. I don't believe he was vane, simply trying to drown out an opinion he assumed people had had of him in his life up until that point. His own opinion. But let's face it, whatever the cause, no one deserves that kind of tormented life or harrowing death, let alone someone who devoted so much time to spreading joy. Nature is cruel. RIP Amie and Tim. P.S. - Amie, Leonidas would shed a tear, absolute spartan, one in a million.

Very entertaining and illuminating show made for an important reason. I'll defiantly be checking my footprint on the planet and seeing what I can do to help my community! I loved the family feel and inclusion of the film crew! Looked like a great bunch of people. Furthermore, counter to what a lot of the comments say, I don't see this as a gloating or lecturing celebrity at all. Just someone with an honest desire to better their own life. Zack's commentary was 'down to earth' and relatable. Keep going! Perhaps pursue a series orientated specifically around man made disasters? I always think one of the most irrational things in the world is putting our rubbish in garbage bags just to throw it in a pit somewhere half way around the world so we don't have to live with the consequences. I think people would be shocked to find out the cycle of of recycling and the effect it has!

For me Wes Anderson's either a big big yes, or a flat no. This film sucked big time. No plot, a terrible script, and so deliberately convoluted it comes across as arrogant as well as confusing. I physically cringed in the 'can't wake up' scene. The only question this film presented to me was wondering how someone could write 101 subplots without actually giving any story. The one scene I enjoyed and briefly empathised with was where he met his wife. If someone can honestly say this film gave them that sense of excitement and thrill you should get from a good thought provoking film, I'll reconsider watching it again. As for now, this is a tedious, bloated, vacant mess.
