Re: The Grey
The only thing that I can think of that I liked is the scenery. I thought the land was beautiful, but I'm not paying another dime for that movie.
I actually saw a trailer for it, different then the ones I had seen for it. This trailer turned out to actually match the movie in chronological events, and it just seemed to me to basically prove how much the movie sucked if they could basically give the entire 2 hour movie in a 2 minute trailer for the damn thing.
I spent two hours watching Liam Neeson pretend to be a survival expert/professional hunter, and end up leading everyone to their death and stupidly into the wolf's den, when in retrospect, if they had stayed at the crash site(which one of the survivors complains about and is chastised for it), they probably would have survived, having a defensible position against the wolves, and being near the crash site, which would have been easier to spot for a rescue, also with the fact that they had a watch broadcasting an emergency distress signal that could have done a better job if they had stayed in one place.
Why did Liam Neeson's character decide to lead, move, and push the survivors on this journey toward their eventual death? He was having flashbacks of his dead wife, and was using what she said incorrectly as an excuse to do this.
This movie sucked, and I regret not asking for my money back.
Also, to give you an idea of how poor the script writers, and the director thought this out. He gets submerged and soaking wet in one scene where he jumps a river, in order to save the last other survivor. The guy dies by getting stuck on a rock, and drowning, and Liam's character just walks out of the river, soaking wet, like nothing happened, and sits down on the snow, like nothing happened at all. No severe hypothermia, and no sign that his body is shutting down to preserve, and conserve body heat, and energy. The most he did was remove some clothes and try to start a fire, then the final scene happens, and suddenly he's okay.
I'd hate to be a dick, but after watching this, and feeling like I got pissed and shit on(probably by a wolf no less), I'm a firm believer in piracy now. At least for this turd, but hell, like I said you don't even need to pirate it or download it illegally. Just that one trailer is all you need to watch, and that's basically the movie right there.
