Anyone see this? Pretty darned good. And beautiful shots of the wilderness. However, it had some massive plot holes.
For one, the kid gives all his life savings to charity, and burns whatever cash he had left on hand. Has nothing. But then all of a sudden he shows up with a kayak to kayak down the river (where there is allegedly a 10ish year waiting list to be able to paddle down it, wtf that was stupid), without the movie showing a single indication of how he came up with it.
Same thing with the gun. Although by that time he had gotten a job, so I guess he could have used money from the job to buy it. But they didn't show it.
The the ending. He's ready to go home, but can't, because he can't get across a moderately-fast flowing river? Really? He had braved all sorts of stuff, but couldn't just swim it? Or walk upstream or downstream a bit to try and find a better place? Instead he goes back to his broke-down bus and spends weeks (months) more there when he is clearly starving? So silly.
Them him eating the berried is even worse. If he ate bad berries, one of three things can logically happen. He could die. He could slowly get better. He could throw up to get them out of his system, then slowly get better. But he just kept getting worse and worse, even though he had learned not to eat the berries. Made no sense.
Actually, thinking about all this, it was a pretty silly movie. Looked great, but just made no sense too many times.
