Photography apart, this is by far the worst movie I have watched in the last 10 years. The whole thing feels like a clean propaganda machine gone wrong. The only decent acting is from the anthropomorphized wolves as long as the hold the pose. Human actors are just plain bad, make up is theatrical, and stunts, when not part of a circus show are short of convincing. One could summarize the movie in a few words: Nature is beautiful and balanced, man destroys nature. Do we learn anything ? nope, that is the way it is, I am going back to China. I think it is time for a green eyed Jean Jacques Annaud to ride a shinny-vintage-museum-quality-tractor-with-clean-tires in the painted sunset.
