Not all that big on outdoor adventure

Rating: 6/10 (15 April 2008)

*** Warning spoilers ***
The title 'into the wild' suggested a movie about the outdoors and outdoor adventures with a little plot to tie it together. That's not what it is. The movie is mostly very sad about a young man strolling towards his demise with many kind people warning him on the way.
If you like sad movies and family drama, it is a nice movie. Don't watch it, because you want to see stunning nature and learn about some great outdoor adventures.
For my taste, it was painfully sad and I wanted to turn off the DVD many times, if I wouldn't have been too curious to find out, if things would get better.
