love the beginging had to revert to online watch because orbit quit at the end.

Wher is my movie. I ask the download and a message is saying that the movie (into the wild) does not exist.

As an outdoor enthusiast and trained whitewater paddler I must say this film was absolutely AMAZING! I also LOVED Krakauers book. I must admit i was never any huge fan of Sean Penn but I applaude him for bringing this inspirational, insightful and tragic lifestory to life. The OVERWHEMING majority all agree that this is A DEFINITE MUST SEE MOVIE. Chris McCandless touched the lives of all he came in contact with. There was something truly special. about this very intelligent young man. It's a shame that he became estranged so deeply from his parents As a parent myself it broke my heart to see what his parents wound up going thru --and i too wished he woud have contacted his sister. However these people making all those really unnecessary UNDESERVED slanderous comments about mccandless deserving to die, saying the movie is a waste of time because Penn is a retard--etc---way beyond what was called for ---you peeple have bigger issues than anything you accuse McCandless of

a very captivating film. I can't recall having seen anything similar in which I knew the ultimate outcome and was still so gripped by the main character's life and actions, yet I hoped for, well, something other than his demise. I think that anyone seeing this film would have a tear in their eye at the end yet still leave the theatre with some semblance of hope - a strange mixture of emotions that bestows respect to the story and the depiction of it.

Until about the 45-minute mark, "Into the Wild" seemed to be everything I was fearing -- a celebration of a hippie joker who becomes "enlightened" by spurning society. And then, through narration, we learn something more about the character, and the focus completely changes. Director Sean Penn asks for patience and some forgiveness from the audience, and there's no doubt that this is a tough movie -- tough to watch, tough to appreciate, tough to figure out. But it is the most rewarding, moving, extraordinary movie I've seen in years -- one of the few in my life that truly left me at a loss for words. "Into the Wild" will compound whatever expectations you may have of it. It's not a nature movie, it's not a preachy movie, it's not an elitist movie, it's not a message movie. It's simply superb. Go with an open heart, putting your expectations of a mainstream "popcorn movie" aside, and you'll be richly rewarded with a most uncompromising, beautiful film.
