Review of Never Cry Wolf (1983) by Tyler J — 02 Apr 2011
This is typical Disney. Unrealistic nature fantasy about a guy that studies wolves. I kept expecting bluebirds to swoop down, land on his shoulder, and start singing "zippity doo dah". If that's your bag, then this is your flick.
Also suitable for a unsophisticated or more naïve audience (think 8 year olds). If any of the 1st 30 minutes of this story were true, we would be watching a film about a dead scientist. It does pick up in the middle when he's actually studying the wolves, but then slides off the deep end during the finale.
Top this off with terrible sound editing where all dialog is at level one, then the music or foley effects come in at a ten (or 11 if you're a Spinal Tap fan) and you have a most unpleasant experience.
Oh, unless your looking for full frontal of Charles Martin Smith. Then you are in luck.
