re: The Grey: What were you're reviews for this movie?

My review:

I took note of three things:

The tree fetish: This was really what the movie was about, an illicit love affair with a suicidal character and hard cold shrubbery. The main character had an odd obsession with trees. He kept talking about the trees this and the trees that. Then at one very important juncture standing by a cliff everyone is at a loss for words and his line was..."look at those trees!" Our whole row lost it

How Liam Neeson was always wrong: The dude went full tard and led them directly toward the den. Where would you think a wolf pack's den is going to be? In the middle of the snow or in the TREES? Unfortunately ole' Liam loved him some trees. Also, he said they would only last 3 days but they lasted ~4 days running around the trees with limited supplies. Why not fortify the fuselage, use the plane's fuel for a fire, take the other wreckage and make a fort that traps the wolves in one path, take them out and eat them.

The river: Why did they have to cross the ravine? Why not just follow the cliff above the river using the cliff as a way to protect against the wolves. Just. keep. walking. Okay, so they succumb to tree love and cross the ravine. When they get to the river, why not just build a raft with all those logs and ride down the river. "I can't walk 50 more feet" should have been met with "well...can you ride a boat made of wood" but alas, wood comes from trees and Liam wasn't about to kill trees and defile his lovers.
