Review of The Grey (2012) by Gene — 27 Jan 2012
It's a fun, competently shot and directed movie that makes a few missteps. First off, this is a survival movie, but NOT a nature survival movie. The wolves aren't really killing for food or survival, there's a bunch of pompous exposition about them organizing and taunting the survivors and other crap.
The wolves don't even bother eating some of the kills, the characters might as well be fighting the hillbillies from Deliverance, this is NOT a nature movie. Second, some really wonky physics towards the end, from improbably jump angles off of clips to improbable getting feet stuck between rocks.
Good acting and decent existential statements though, worth the time it took to watch it.
