Complete and utter self indulgent rubbish

Rating: Null/10 (13 November 2011)

My wife and I sat down to watch this film with a real sense of anticipation due to the favourable reviews that it had received. I'm afraid to say that Into the Wild now has a special place in the pantheon of films. It is by some distance the worst film I've ever seen. The story is of a loser who in some fit of freaky "hippy peace and love" trip takes his college education fund, for which his parents have scrimped and saved, drops out goes to live in the wilds of Alaska.
He has no survival skills. He dies.
That was the best moment of the film because then we knew that it was over.
A complete waste of 148 minutes of your life. Don't see it. Do something more interesting with those two hours such as shooting each of your toes off with a shotgun.
