land of lost

I adore Liam Neeson, the acting is good, scenes are beautiful and I jumped at a couple of the wolf scenes. However, the movie seemed pointless. We walked out after wishing we hadn't seen it. I wouldn't advise this for kids . . . not sure who I would recommend it for.

This film was so much more than I was expecting; however, I fear I'm getting too old to "enjoy" a film as gripping and realistic as The Grey. When I stood up to exit the theatre my hands and legs were trembling.. Casting Liam Neeson as the Alpha male was brilliant. I never doubted his leadership, emotional and physical suffering, or his strength. A horror/psycho-thriller/nature movie masterpiece.

Everything about this movie was great, but if you're expecting a film along the lines of Taken or Unknown you'll be rather disappointed. Neeson doesn't play the near super-human hero in The Grey, but rather a damaged and severely flawed man who tries to step up to save his fellow crash survivors despite his own issues. The ending fits the movie but left a lot of audience members in my showing upset because they wanted a climactic fight scene rather than the emotional payoff and cap to Neeson's character arc presented.

The acting in this movie was good. Laim Nelson played his role real well. The movie keeps you guessing. This movie is not for children under 15years old. It has some gory seens. All in all I like the movie. The directing is good.
