Fantastic!
17 February 2021
What are the critics whining about? This is just the kind of movie the world needs right now. This wholesome adaptation of the Jack London book doesn't disappoint. What we have is a welcome departure from the totally over-the-top, 'here we go again', blockbuster action movie that Hollywood regurgitates over and over lately. Harrison Ford delivers as he always does. In fact, all the cast give excellent performances. The star, of course, is the dog. And, of course it's a CGI dog. You can't get a real dog to perform everything 'Buck' has to endure! People, stop banging on about realism! Its the movies! Its make-believe! And by the way, the CGI is brilliantly rendered. The CGI/human interaction is almost perfect. The cinematic scenery is breathtaking. During this well crafted movie, you'll laugh, you'll cry and thrill to the excitement throughout this hour and a half of excellent story-telling. Its a family film that delivers. This is a feel good movie that has no pretensions. There's a certain innocence that's sorely needed in the film industry right now. And it was well worth the time spent watching. I look forward to seeing it again. Give yourself a treat.
