I just watched this, I thought it would be pretty gay, the plot outline sounded pretty bleak, and I had no idea who was in it....


But it actually turned out to be a GREAT movie, good enough that it made me want to share it with others...

Its basically about this guy, just graduated, had his life ahead of him, just up an left one day...


i cant really say much about the plot, because then thatd spoil it but basically he just left his perfect life to just explore and "live"

his final plan is to go to alaska and "live", just survive... no camps, maps, watches etc.

It has this kickass soundtrack by Eddie Vedder, I recommend watching before you listen, otherwise it seems kinda weird... All the songs fit the emotion and mindset...


This is also based off of a true story, well really, it IS a real story... Spoiler if any more is said


So definately check it out! Ive seen a FUCKLOAD of movies and this is one of the best....

Yeah, one of my friends (who is an actor, has a part on Criminal Minds) got a copy of the DVD from the SAG and gave it to me.  I was actually going to watch it tonight.

For both of you, definately watch it...

It really looks like one of those kind of dumb adventure movies from the looks of the previews, but its definately worth the netflix

Didn't like the book tbh.

I don't know why, but I never had a lot of respect for Chris when I was reading about him.  Just a nutjob if you ask me

yeah, I heard the book was more of a "Documentary" style

whereas in the movie it strings the events together, and provides some implications where as the book provides mainly facts...


It seemed like the movie would be a lot more exciting than the book....
