Finally watched 'The Grey'

What a piece of fricking crap. Plot has more holes than a piece of Swiss cheese at Subway. I knew the movie was going to suck the moment they left the safe haven that was the wreckage.
So rescuers have a better chance of finding a bunch of men wandering around in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness than if they stayed with the wreckage which probably had a transponder? Yeah Liam Neeson is a moron.
Also the guys seemed to have difficulty just walking through the foot deep snow, but as soon as they see wolves, they suddenly get the ability to run full sprint in the same snow.
Of course there are lots more of stupid stuff like this throughout the movie. Oh and yeah all the white guys looked the same. Couldn't tell one from the other except our sniper hero.

Liam Neeson has been in some shitty movies lately. He needs to fire his agent/

The Grey was a great movie.

The Grey wasn't boring but there were several ridiculous aspects. It also lost me when they decide to leave a frickin downed jetliner that would've elicited all resources in a search that would've lasted a few hours tops.
I'm no script writer but how about putting them on a small puddle jumper so common in Alaska?

They should've set it a few decades in the past when search/rescue technology was more limited.

Dude. People still get lost and in areas that are much more forgiving.

I've posted this before about this movie:
I know it’s a movie where you’re supposed to turn off your brain but come on. Why would you leave the wreckage? They can find the wreckage. Even if the plane wasnt sending out some sort of signal, the search party could certainly find a big fire were you to build one. Also it’s shelter. You can build a fortification around it from the wolves. Stupid. But moving past that. The clothes rope scene over the river was pretty retarded as well. Then apparently Liam’s character was immune to hypothermia after swimming around in that river for a while. No effects shown whatsoever. Then our fearless leader the entire time ends up actually walking right into the freaking wolves’ den. BRILLIANT. It was mildly entertaining but I couldn’t help but keep asking WTF are you doing at the screen. It was also about 20 minutes or so too long.

He's had that problem for years. Did 'Next of Kin' and 'Darkman' in consecutive years (89 & 90).

I thought The Grey was a good movie (not great, but good).
Posted on 12/18/12 at 9:18 am to rickgrimes
Really? I loved this movie.

I thought they left the wreckage because they believed it to be close to the wolves den. So, the left so they could get away from them, they just made the mistake of walking right into it instead of away from it.

I am assuming most people did this and if you did you missed the whole point of the movie.
I mean hell there is a hint in the title.

He just plunges into a frigid river in the Alaskan wild and shrugs it off like it isn't a big deal.
