Stupidity in the face of adversity does not a movie make.

Rating: 1/10 (16 June 2008)

I feel like I have been cheated. There was really nothing of much redeeming value to be found in this film. The character development did not help me to sympathize with the main character, he came off as a brash, uninformed idealist with no real intelligence. The interspersing of random trippy imagery and psychedelic image collages flashing occasionally throughout the movie just confused and irritated me. The manner in which the main character makes his "adventure" is both naive and offensive. I like to think I know quite a bit about wilderness survival, it is clear that this guy didn't. He starved to death in the middle of Alaska in springtime. GIVE ME A BREAK. This is what happens when you know nothing and try to do something anyways. You don't just go eating berries willy nilly because you are hungry, you carefully conduct taste tests to make sure it won't KILL YOU. I just cannot say enough against this movie. The main character wanders the country for some time before going to Alaska, spouting off quotations from Thoreau and others, dispensing wisdom like he is Jesus or something. Just really irritated me. That's all I have to say, don't watch it.
