Almost loved it. The first 45 minutes of

Almost loved it. The first 45 minutes of 'Never Cry Wolf' are terrific, I enjoyed how they set everything up - I was very much intrigued. Unfortunately, for the next 15-30 mins events kinda plateaued, before eventually ending in underwhelming fashion. I would be rating this higher if it had been a 70-85 minute run time, that would've been perfect. I will say, from start-to-finish, the film is superb visually. Charles Martin Smith is very good as Tyler, he also does a grand job with the narration; the dialogue for which is excellent. This is a lot better than Disney's other wild animal style productions, this is probably what they were aiming for in the likes of 'The Legend of Lobo' etc. It just ends, at least for me, in a disappointing manner. With that stated, it still rounds off to be classed as a film I liked - just with a hint of what could've been.

Atmospheric, and sadly underrated

The money shot, the one that will haunt you, in "Never Cry Wolf" comes about an hour and a half in. A man falls asleep after swimming in a hot spring, and wakes up in the middle of a reindeer stampede.

This is, unapologetically, a cinematographer's movie. If it were made today, it'd definately be in IMax format. As it is, it's going to make you long for a bigger TV. Haunting and moving.
