I'm seeing this tomorrow and will report back once I do, but just curious if anybody had seen it today. Its sitting at very respectable 87% critics and 96% audience scores on RT.

Saw it Thursday night. Not the best movie I have seen by any stretch, but much better than the summers dinosaur movie.

It is a nice change from the marvel movies tied up with a happy ending. Four stars from me.

Just got out and this movie is exactly as advertised. They're not trying to reinvent the wheel or win any awards, it's a straightforward, standard story of a man and his dog relying on each other to survive through the wilderness after a plane crash. But it was done very well and as usual with these movies, if you're a dog owner it'll hit you in the feelz.

Definitely recommend at least checking it out on streaming later.

Wife and I saw this today. I didn't love it, but the end got me (in a good way).

Definitely don't think you'll be disappointed that you saw it.

Poster above is right that is it exactly what you'd think it would be.

I just got roped into seeing it by my wife when I would've rather been watching football all day so I might've been a little jaded.

Will definitely rewatch once it's on streaming / regular tv

Good movie. Textbook "guy with a problem." 100 minutes to see how he fares.

Dog survives but I still cried. Dogs are the best.

Wife and I just got out of the theater. Was decently full and the whole place was dead silent once the credits rolled. My wife and I just sat there both wiping the tears from our eyes.

This is a film that knows exactly what it is…tells its story in an amazing way…and even though I thought I knew how it would end, I was sorta wrong (IYKYK) and loved what they did with the ending.

So glad I saw this.

Spoiler take below:

Did not expect at all for it to end where the dog lives and the owner dies…normally it's the other way around. But man was that done incredibly well. The way the camera was framing the shot of Odins face while Pitt is saying his final goodbye, it's in that moment you realize that Odin was the main character this whole time and this was his story. Loved how they did that!

And there was a great hint that Pitts character was about to bite the dust…when he finally reaches the top of the hill he and Odin were climbing he inverts his walking stick/spear that he's held up the entire movie and throws it knife down into the ground…it's at that moment where you realize, "crap it's him that's not going to make it."

Also, liked that when the lady that sees Odin is driving up you see two stickers on her back window both of bears…kinda neat how there's a scene earlier where Odin is able to stare down a bear and then at the end his new master has two bear stickers on the back of her truck.

And the wolf attack scene. Man that was done well. Was basically doing little fist pumps in my seat when he was finally stabbing the crap out of them.


Go see this movie!

I absolutely loved this movie. Especially after nonstop political ads and seeing France burn all weekend... Watching Brad Pitt and his dog trek the stunning Alaskan wilderness was a very welcome respite.


Just a beautiful little film, and a reminder that dogs are the greatest. I haven't gotten choked up in a movie in a long time but I had to hang in my seat for a few minutes afterwards.
