Into the spectacular

Rating: 9/10 (31 March 2008)

Into the Wild is a superb, trotting, wonderful tale that deserves to be on every inner-adventurer's shelf. The settings look exquisite and all the environments are perfectly place in the film. It just feels right to see young Emile Hirsch in these locals. The plot is slow, but gripping; if the male lead wasn't so compelling, who knows? Speaking of him, Emile Hirsch makes the film what it is. His versatility, complexity, and flexibility in this role makes it all natural. With his smirk-laden smile, he treks across the country, with excitement. I really wish he would have got nominated for an Oscar. Another actor worthy of prestige is Vince Vaughn. Yes, the Vince Vaughn from Wedding Crashers. He is incredible. Maybe his same quick tongue average Joe is the same in every film, but he is the master of it. Great actors add to the great cinematography and direction.
Into the Wild is a great film, albeit, long film that is better to watch with company.
