Poor Movie, strange plot, do not recommend

Movie Critique By Francis Beckert

I have a strong feeling that Mark Giffith actually never went into detail about the main idea of the book. The main plot is all about a boy named Brian Robeson who is played by Jared Rushton. He was on his way to visit his father when the pilot gets a heart attack and the plain crashes in the middle of the Canadian back country. He faces many challenges of survival and goes through many changes in the personality department.

The Movie really shows what it would be like in Brians situation. As well it also portrays Brians emotional personality, Jared Rushton was able to show what Brian felt like (sometimes to an extreme) and acted mostly as Brian would have done.

Additionally; I have quite a few harsh critiques, but I shall begin with the biggest one of them all. The sequence of the move quite discombobulating in the way that some major events come in an odd order that doesn't make sense. Another huge event in the move doest exist namely Brian evolving into the new nature connected Brian. The movie is old so I will not criticize it on its pitiful special effects. In addition, the movie move an eon to quick making so that some very important events were not show either at all or in their required detail for the average person's satisfaction. Since the book is all about Brian changing and becoming more adept to nature I would expect something quite different than what Mark Griffith created. The movie pretty much skips over the main idea of Brian changing and doesn't show their effect on the plot. Lastly Mark Griffith added events odd events which I did not understand, like the ending of the book.

I only give the Movie 3 stars out of 10 because of the odd plot and the fact that Brian doesn't change enough which is the main idea of the book. Although the movie does capture a bit of the book although strangely it is strangely altered. The movie has the wrong main idea and because of that falls flat.
