*SLIGHT SPOILERS BUT REALLY NOTHING YOU WOULDN’T EXPECT* let me first talk about the characters. there was almost zero of them that i did not DESPISE with A BURNING PASSION. they lacked any basic human intelligence - beyond the stupidity of characters of a horror movie - and they all lacked depth whatsoever. This leads me to my next point - the reason none of them had any depth was because there were SO MANY OF THEM. I tried reading the wikipedia plot and i literally can’t because there are so many characters and i dont remember a single name. the writers insisted upon killing at least one character on average every 15 minutes. you tend to run out of characters quite quickly in this manner. perhaps one positive, of there so many characters for which i either hated or at the very least had zero desire to see live to the end of the movie, was that when they met their inevitable demise i felt no emotional pain or sympathy other than that which a normal human being would feel upon watching another human being get disembowled by a cocaine addict bear and its cocaine addict children bears. the violence itself was brutal (im not going to lie the park ranger accidentally shooting the guy standing at the door really caught me off guard) but there are many other movies out there with more gore than this one. my problem was that the entire plot seemed to revolve around coming up with different ways for EACH CHARACTER to be BRUTALLY MAULED TO DEATH. there was no sense of plot whatsoever except "person A gets mauled to death" "person B gets mauled to death" and there was so much of this that i almost forgot about this whole journey of two of the characters to find one of the other characters, a young girl, who CONVENIENTLY was not mauled to death but kidnapped for unexplained reasons. because it is a universally known fact that bears, specifically bears on cocaine, have a strong tendency to kidnap young girls beyond this, the dialogue sounded like it was written by a 5th grader who just learnt some swear words, and the majority of it served absolutely no purpose. The plot was utterly predictable (as I said: person A gets mauled to death, person B gets mauled to death) and the jumpscares were so frequent and so obvious that i was so desensitised by the end, SPECIFICALLY to limbs falling from the sky. And this whole thing happens because cocaine is chucked out of a plane and then the guy supposed to go after the cocaine hits his head on the roof and knocks himself out of the plane. Then, because they care so much about aligning with the real life story, in which the guy failed to open his parachute, the guy in the movie also fails to open his parachute. because unconscious people tend to have trouble opening their parachute. what an intelligent way to incorporate that into the film. And yes, I’m aware this movie is based off a true story, where the events that occurred between the bear consuming the cocaine and dying are not known. However, it really seems to me that the writers thought to themselves “I wonder what happened when that bear ate the cocaine? I bet it killed someone. And then another one. And then another one. And then another one.” [No one even died as a result of the Cocaine Bear I don't know why they pushed it so far it's not like it was a massacre]. Honestly, I feel bad for poor Pablo Escobear (the original cocaine bear). He deserved better than this.
