Very good movie!

Really loved the ending of the movie. I dont know what it is about Liam Neeson. But he can make what should be average movies, into very good ones, imo. Good to see Joe Carnahan (sp) going back to his "Narc" esque style of directing.

I think the only people let down are the ones who were fooled by the trailer thinking it was an all out action flick.

Agreed. I enjoyed it. Any movie with Liam Neeson dominating + ravenous wolves is a win in my book.

I liked it too. It had a supernatural kinda vibe to it that was implied without being stated mixed with a lot of psychological tension.

Loved it. The whole thing was tense, and the fact that many of the cast members died of other causes than the wolves made it better. So bleak but with a hint of satisfaction in the end.

really? i think that movie sucked.. the plane crash was awesome but went downhill from there..

wolves looked fake as shite and i had no emotional attachment to any of the cast.

Neeson was cool when he showed that bitch whats up when they were around the camp fire tho

Great movie but I hated the ending. It just kinda left me hanging.

Count me in the meh crowd. I just didn't like the reaches it took. How many people have been killed by ravenous wolfpacks in Alaska, ever? Suspending that reality for a couple of hours..

Why leave the relative safety of the plane?

We're led to believe no one was searching for a downed jetliner, it's pilots, crew, and passengers cause the dudes were expendable roughneks?

The scenery was good though.

the ending was supposed to do that - it allows the movie goer to interpet the ending in there own way, and open dialogue with friends they saw it with.

my Fiance and I saw it and loved the film. it was one of the few films we have seen in a while that found us having dinner after the film and discussing the things we saw.

to me the ending reminded me of reading Stephen Kings the Mist - the ending was left open to interpretation.

I thought the ending to the Grey could not have been done any differently, and still been as good.

did you stay until the credits were over? there wasn't much interpretation left, imho
