Man Vs.

A pleasant surprise. I did not have lot of expectations from this movie but yet another Canadian surprise. The movie starts out of the jungle but catches up with the theme very soon. As always the case, the main attraction arrives late. Still there is some tension which keeps the movie going and if you're anything like me, you will enjoy the jungle survival shown even though we have seen it in documentaries a lot. The direction is good and the acting could have been a little better but still the main guy have done a good job. The CGI..well.. are OK, not a lot of them but the rabbit scene will make it up for that. Overall, not the worst i have seen. I enjoyed it As i said, not sure what to watch..give this movie a try..

Add 1 part predator (original) Add 1 part District 9 Add 1 part Bear Grills Omit half the budget and put it on the rocks

Tries to be the original Predator but is actually better than the Predator reboot.

Definitely a cross between Bear Grylls and Predator, but you could probably make that conclusion from the synopsis alone. I was definitely into the movie until the CGI. There is a good chance that I would have been more satisfied with traditional effects like makeup, prosthetics, a mask, or just a guy in a suit.

A low budget but enjoyable film, there are some errors but nothing that would stop you watching it.

This movie was actually really good and suspenseful. Initially I wanted to give it a higher rating. Well, that was until the last 20 minutes started rolling. They totally ruined the entire movie for me. Without spoiling too much: let's just say that there were some really bad CGI VFX at play (during the aforementioned last 20 minutes).

About the movie itself: it's a typical "filming in the woods, gone wrong" type of movie. But unlike most other movies of this genre they managed to make this one cleverly educational. There are plenty of scenes where the protagonist explains exactly what he's doing. Kind of like a survival guide if you will (there is however a better/more effective way of starting a fire than was shown in the movie).

Final verdict: if it weren't for the crappy ending this movie would have been truly great. What a way to ruin a movie.
