DVD Reviews of Call of the Wild

DVD Review: You Know You're in Trouble When the Best Actors are Dogs!
Summary: 2 Stars

I wanted to like this movie. I expected to like this movie. But I was disappointed by Call of the Wild.

What Left Me Cold?

The film never drew me in. Most of the actors were clearly acting (and not too well at that) rather than becoming part of a compelling story. Character development was so thin that I never cared much what happened.

While the scenery and photography were stunning, the editing was poor, and the black screen breaks between scenes distracting. Makeup was obvious, such that I saw makeup rather than seeing the ravages of cold.

The relationship between boy and dog was never fully developed. It was there, but emotionless, almost sterile.

Overall, I found the movie flat. I enjoyed the scenery but missed the pull of the original story.

Five stars for photography, one star for editing, one star for story. Average: Two stars.

Description of Call of the Wild

Based on the classic novel by Jack London, Call of the Wild stakes its claim to being that rare breed of adventure series that parents and kids can enjoy together. Adapted by White Fang screenwriter David Fallon and starring Nick Mancuso, this exciting saga introduces Miles Challenger (Shane Meier), a 15-year-old boy living in an Alaskan mining town at the turn of the century, whose life changes forever when he encounters a heroic and powerful dog named Buck.
