The concept of this film is great. The execution showed promise in the first quarter. But, although this is "based on the real-life story of. Documentarian Marty Stouffer, some of the protagonists experiences revealed themselves to be entirely impossible or, at best, unrealistic. The characters additionally showed themselves to be either stupid or entirely thoughtless, which affected my sympathy for them. Beginning with their encounter with moose to their encounter with hibernating bears in a cave, I just guffawed at the ridiculousness of the situations. The terrible creature effects were somewhat forgivable given the time and budget. I just could not take this film seriously. It insulted my intelligence, quite frankly. As a filmmaker, I would be interested in seeing this movie remade. The plot and situation have a good foundation.
