liked the scenery, didn't like the dialog....


Never saw this one before. Loved the scenery going in and the plight and action, but the dialog drove me batty. After you've heard much better, (and also write) character actions and words seemed someitmes out of left field and out of character. Or lacking character. I don't know.

Anyway, I couldn't take it anymore, skipped the middle half and skipped to the end, where the finals actions were also dull and unfullfilling.

But the live shots of location and bear were fantastic! So hating CGI even more after this.

You either love David Mamet dialogue or you don't. There is no inbetween.
