I loved the poem in this movie. Especially when Liam reads it right before the ending.
Best, most dramatic part of the movie.
thats where all movie explaination.
Finally a youtube critic who actually GOT what this movie was about, rather than complaining about how it's not just Liam Neeson vs wolves.
It did a horrible job as a realistic survival movie. It was likely the most unrealistic, low-IQ movie I have ever wasted my time on. Thank goodness it had some type of meaning somewhere. I was literally laughing or shaking my head throughout the entire movie, it was just too stupid for me to care about, believe or even take seriously...... You will only like this if you have a low IQ, otherwise don't waste your time on it. There are movies 100x better than this. This whole movie is a joke with a "cry" part at the end. 3/10, watch something better, save yourself the time......................
@@UXSpecialist says the person who's IQ is so low you dont understand the true meaning to it. Yes the survival part is lacking in realism but the human survival of suffering is the greater meaning to the movie not the wolfs
@@michaelsanchez7623 Why not just make it a good movie then? If the message is so important, why not take the time to actually make it make sense, be realistic, or at least be somewhat believable? Jurassic Park was believable because they went to great lengths to show how it could be achieved, why things were the way they were. There was a reason to the madness. This movie would only appeal to small children who know nothing about nature whatsoever. It's almost insulting how dumb they allowed themselves to be. Just do some research. Why are people forgetting how life works? It's really weird to me. Are we really getting that stupid as a society? That's the more important lesson here....
@@UXSpecialist first Jurassic Park was intended for small children so not a good example. Second I'm not disagreeing with you about the realism of the movie it could have been done better and I dont think the movie was made for small children either as in the beginning of the movie it shows our protagonist about to commit suicide. An nature wolfs can be aggressive ( not to the extent as depicted in the movie) but when working in a pack can be very dangerous. But the wolfs are supposed to be a symbol of the survival instinct of humans us me and you. How much are you willing to suffer before you quit, when you have no real reason to live.
In my opinion this movie does a great job showing us that.
@@michaelsanchez7623 1. Jurrasic was one of the biggest blockbusters of all time. It was meant for audiences of all people worldwide. I would say if anything the only audience it would exclude is small children because of the intensity and gore of some scenes......
Those eyes...
All my hair stood up when I watched that scene
I will not forget it easily
*****
I feel your pain man!
I just watched this film...
HOLY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This movie literally felt real. REAL. It was sunny outside and I thought my hands felt numb. My chest was rising up to my neck towards the second half and it's one of the most grim, gritty, real, terrifying and downright incredible pieces of film I have ever come across. I live in the Pacific Northwest and there's a lot of mountains and evergreens around here, and every time I visit Mt. Rainier, hell, just the woods, in the cold, I always imagine how harsh and surreal it could feel to try and survive in such extremes - this film reveled in all those nightmarish thoughts drowned out by relief and warped us into a cold, gravitating and emotionally resonant masterpiece that opened my eyes to a whole lot of things. We need more films like this, and I feel Liam Neeson deserved an Oscar nomination for this role. He's such a sublime, brilliant actor. And my respect for Joe Carnahan was already cultivated in The Blacklist, having not seen his films, many of them which critics find crappy. But this movie, I heard, was an exception, and HOLY CRAP, it was! One of the downright best things I've ever seen. Applause to everyone involved in it.
It was literally the lowest IQ movie I have ever seen. I was laughing and cringing the whole time at how stupid, fake and unrealistic it was. If you have a low IQ you might like it, otherwise, stay away. I hate movies like this, that insult everybody's intelligence. I'm shocked at how people actually fall for this type of unrealistic garbage. What a waste of time seriously.
@@UXSpecialist i agree with you
@@UXSpecialist lol wow you are really smart. It's a movie, not a documentary dumbass.
@@kautsarmw9526 And yet it's so stupid, it couldn't even hold my interest, even if I was the most stupid person on the planet (Well then maybe it could), but it's beyond cringe, it's just stupidity
@@kautsarmw9526 I would have been more entertained by a person in a giant furry wolf suit doing kung fu rather than this...It was actually insulting how stupid the director thinks the audience is.
The Grey is so much more than just a film. To me it was one of the most beautiful and inspiring things I've ever watched. I have Ottway's father's poem hanging on my wall. This film makes you realize how important and precious life really is.
One thing I love about The Grey is reading into the meaning of the wolves. I like viewing them as metaphors due to Neeson experiencing death and overcoming grief. It is a beautiful film with a beautiful ending. Extremely underrated I think.
The ending of this movie was one of the greatest endings ever. Including the dripping shot at hospital, the music, the poem, seriously how the F can you hate such an ending?!
there was no fighting. that is what ruined the ending for me
Eslam Eslamović in the after credit scene he killed the wolf right? But did he survive? Probably not. Still loves the shit out of this movie
@@Cyberclone8790 Perfect example of the "causal audience"
I'm with cyber clone there was no freaking fighting no climatic ending it sucked the movie was pretty good all in all up until then and my ex at the time now back together said the same thing
I really like this guy. He makes me enjoy watching movies because he enjoys movies. And he is extremely honest about his reviews and opinions unbiased.
Probably the best Liam neeson movie
u seen Schindler's list?
+Yuvi Singh How about "The Phantom Menace"?
I can't say that with a straight face.
takens better
Cyberclone8790 it's really not.
Cyberclone8790 Taken is a great one, but The Grey is so good, criminally underrated
I think my favorite "in the middle of no where" movie might just be this. Simply loved it.
Mick Cast away is the best ever imo.
Well it's true. Wolves won't attack people...unless they're starved. The same with the lions in The Ghost in the Darkness. Territorial encroachment and starvation turned two lion brothers into man eaters. Sure, the movie took liberties to the true story, but it's still something to mention.
Necro: In the Sunderbans in India, tigers regularly eat people. They even pick fishermen off canoes. BTW the sunderbans is a protected area so prey is abundant.
just watched it. incredibly emotional and thrilling! a must watch!
i finally saw this movie and ugh. It was a spectacular movie it was just way too saddening for me.
I'm a psychologist and I have to say that your processings speed is fantastic, your verbal comprehension is outstanding, and your working memory is superb! You are a smart dude!
I was thinking the same thing!
review castaway with tom hanks!!!
i NEED to watch this , movies like this teach people about life , and whats real and whats not. i am also a big liam neeson fan and also a big fan of WOLVES , lol my profile picture.
Don't bother watching it... A part from 2 cool wolf scenes the movie isn't worth watching it!
wolf in the wild sure mate.
Arnamo ooh k
wolf in the wild "Don't listen to his opionion, mine is better" yeaaah seems legit lol
wolf in the wild oh i misread that. Sorry. And yes you're right. Everybody should make up his or her own opinion
This movie was definitely in my top 3 for favorites of 2013. It drives me insane when people complain about "omg that ending sucked, no wolf punching, wtf". That's not the point, you clearly didn't understand the film if THATS what you were looking forward to. Glad to see a large number of people who enjoyed this, it was actually a very moving and well done film. Watch after the credits, by the way.
Ugh.. this movie is too good for it's own good. It starts the characters off in a bad situation, and just when you think it can't suck anymore for the survivors, it does. It's just too depressing for my tastes. But, yeah, well done. But definetly not a feel good movie. More like the feel bad movie of the year.
It was so unrealistic I was shaking my head throughout the entire movie. Nothing was at all believable, realistic, or even remotely intelligent. It was a joke. I was laughing or cringing at how stupid it was through the movie. Such a waste of potential for a good movie. I wish it would have been better, but I give it a 2 or 3/10. Good try. Try again.....
@@UXSpecialist seriously?what r u doing here then mate?keep pissing people off?try to convince them that ur taste in movies are superior?pfffttt...what a shitty world we're living now
@@botakbotak7739 Someone told me to watch it, so I did and gave it an honest review. That's all. Nothing less, nothing more...... It's really really bad. That's all I care to say about it.
@@UXSpecialist really?aww...i feel bad 4 u mate...so sorry that it didnt live up to ur expectations,much worse its been recommended....but chill up will ya,its unnecessary to bash everyones comment everytime they express their love 4 this movie..its better to write ur own opinion raher than replying to others..aint it?btw...no hard feeling ya...u have a good day then...peace and love🤗😍
@@botakbotak7739 It's like when you expect something good, like being served an expensive meal at a restaurant and they serve you feces instead of food. That's how I felt watching this and just wanted to express that. Have a good day mate......
The ending wasent shit it was actually pretty good cause he was going to die anyway because even if he killed the Alfa male he would have to fight the pack and he wanted to see his wife
Trevor Coy Unless, no hear me out. Liam like a fucking bad ass, guts the alpha wolf proving to the rest of the pack that he is the new Alpha.
The Grey 2 2018
Pretty sure his wife died from cancer
Ending of the movie was great
even I mumbled the phrases at the end when he was sitting on his fathers knee!
I can't wait for your Chronicle review! I'm watching that this weekend I think
I LOVED this movie. My god, I can't stop thinking about it. You really wanted these guys to make it and that is a sign of good directing, writing and good acting. I liked every singel one of these characters. One scene broke my heart completely. The scene in the raging river..... When that scene was over I actually felt sick to my stomach. This is easily my favorite survival in the wilderness movie. Good review and I'm with you on every note
God I hated this movie.
Characters got killed off way too quickly, abruptly, and predictably, the scariness of the wolves was played out a little too much (ooooh wolves eyes glow in the dark! Scary! And they stay a reasonable distance away from you that you can see their eyes but they aren't close enough to attack you because OOOoooooOOooO!!) Liam Neeson doesn't get any closure, the big showdown between him and the wolves that we're teased about in the trailers and previews doesn't happen, and the whole adventure is pointless.
Say what you want about this movie, I don't care.; Liam Neeson is a total boss in this movie & in my opinion, this is a good movie.
8 years younger Jeremy looks so different
My favorite movie of 2012 next to The Avengers and TDKR. That scene when his friend died in the river, and he asked God for help almost had me in tears.
This movie was fucking amazing. I keep my room at 65 degrees and I was still sweating. The ending is great. I like how the alpha calls the others off so he could challenge him. This movie is freaking great.
Exactly. Especially given where the film starts, it is interesting to see how it unfolds to that point.
Yo like so people can see!!! There was an END CREDIT scene! The wolf stop breathing whilst Neeson is still breathing; short but you have to see it.
Been watching Jeremy since 2012 and had to go back just to see the progress and my man is still a goat of Reviews!!
This movie reminds me of the edge
My favorite survival in the middle of nowhere movie? "The Edge", an oft-overlooked moment in the career of Anthony Hopkins. I often call it "the great Anthony Hopkins performance that nobody saw." Basically, he's having to survive two things in this film: the hostile environment and possible treachery from the only fellow survivor who stays with him from start to finish.
Please review Castaway. It is so good.
I liked it as well, Liam Neeson is so epic
I thought that movie was boring as hell. 65% of the movie was just the characters walking around the woods bitching.
This is one of my favourite movies. The imagery, the metaphors of the screenplay, direction and the soundtrack all combine incredibly.
It should be the Fray
Apart from that black guy who died in the middle of the night during the blizzard, that wasn't so great but the rest were, even the end was just superb in more ways than one. Especially if you sat and watched the post credit sequence too, that just makes it all the more worth while.
The Revenant.
Lets not forget the amazing soundtrack, jeremy, you should start to mention the movies that have great fitting music in it also
They should call this movie, Wolves are going to eat you!
Or: How long can you survive?
Well that's what I'm saying, I just prioritised because, that's the primary thing that pops out when you know the setting and that, also it was stated by the director in one of the pre-release interviews.
love this movie so much!!!
The ending was probably one of the best I've seen in a movie in a while. It's one of those endings were a 2 or 3 second scene is shown and completely changes how you see and feel about the movie and Liam Neeson's character. PERFECT!!!
WUT??? That movie had only one damn character i cared about and even he wasn't at his peak of acting. Damn that movie was really bad... And for the worst part very predictable... Well apart from the ending... In which i felt robbed for the time it took me to watch this awful movie...
Watch it again but skip to the end of the credits. There is like a 3 second clip that finishes where it left off before the credits.
Jaime Perez Sooo I just saw that (Looks like he and the alpha wolf are well spoiler "dead"). Still doesn't change my opinion about that movie. I know it's not mainstream and i give them kudos for that. But still man, something was just missing.
TheOne12990 Thats your prerogative, I was just trying to address the part about the ending. I was super pissed when I watched it the first time and didn't see it. I just figured you would want to know how it ended. cheers.
Jaime Perez thx dude i appreciate it :)
Because, the whole movie was not about them, it was about making a choice between life and death, to go once more into the fray, into the last good fight you'll ever know, and live and die on that day. The poem is a metaphor for life and the choice to either lay down and die, or to keep going and fight, despite life's challenges, i.e. the wolves, the whole movies is a metaphor for life, not about the fight, but the choice you make, to life or die.
This movies was eh, just watched on Netflix. The characters were all common archetypes
Real live has common archetypes. What more did you expect?
I don't see why so many people dislike this movie. Its one of the most realistic movies i've ever seen. Maybe not the wolves part of it, but the characters are so gritty and touching and real, that when they die you really feel it.
SPOILER
Like when the guy who has the daughter that would wake up him by waving her hair in his face... when he died and he saw her, and she did that and said "I love you daddy." Fucking sad, and awesome. Also, when Liam cried out to God. Love this movie.
fucking hated the ending , my friend told me it was based on a true story so i guess they couldnt really change that ending but it still sucked
but you know he dies
Jon Kline but realistically he probably could of killed the alpha but i don't think 3 broken glasses and a ducks tape knife can fend off a bunch of other, evan if he did get out alive them wounds would of got infected and died
you are a man of god?
but you know no human could survive if the wolves didn't kill him the infected wounds would and before that hyperthermia would kick in i'm not bothered about him an god, all i know it fact is he is dead.
Haha, u thought this was a true story? Not the brightest color crayon in the box, eh?
I think I would have appreciated this film more at a cinema, but since I watched it on TV I can only give it a good time no alcohol required, I didn't care for anyone that died and the ending wasn't good.
Liam Neeson made this movie glorious. Not to mention the Irish accent was the best fucking surprise ever. I thought he would never get to use it!
"Live and Die on this day" The movie was waaaaay better than i thought it would be. Loved the ending, but without the final few seconds after the credits roll.
Definitely on the bluray list
To me IMO this movie is a 10/10. It's so desperate with so much despair, brutal, yet honest an throughly gripping
If you wait till the last minute of the movie, you can see the end of it. Both of them (Liam and the wolf) got tired from the fight "or maybe I can say that's what I understood from the last scene".
This movie is good on DVD/Blueray...etc. But at a cinema, as I saw it, it was freaking awesome! The plane going down made you feel like you, yourself, was a passenger. Awesome experience!!
Just watched this movie.
-Great acting
-Great camera work
- Pretty good soundtrack
-Actually cared about the characters
-Cool, unique atmosphere
BUT
*spoilers* The ending was a let-down for me. Throughout most of the movie you just witness the humans getting picked off and the situation becomes increasingly hopeless.
Not only that, you find out that the end they've gone ALL that way only to end up in the Wolve's den.
Overall, I'd give this a 4/5, only because of the sem-depressing ending
I recently watched this again. My third time seeing and it gets better every time. The movie has a lot of intensity to it. It's sad and haunting all the way through, but in the most awesome way possible. The acting is just great, and I like the ending too. *****IF YOU HAVE THIS ON DVD KEEP WATCHING PAST THE CREDITS***** You will see a small last scene!! It gives you a hint about what happened, but it still doesn't tell you everything.
The ending was dark masterpiece
Because in that final moment before the showdown with alpha john had to feel the most alive since the loss he suffered
@noahkaczor He didn't survive. It was him resting his head on the body of the wolf. Both were breathing heavily. They both fought until the end.
The ending was touching seriously I almost cry with it. I felt I was gonna hate it but then I thought "nature is cruel with man no matter how prepared he is to face it" and that's why I ended up loving that ending.
the ending would've worked better, if I thought taping airplane bottles to your knuckles gave you wolverine claws...instead of...lopping your own fingers off
The Grey is far more than a survival movie. Its actually a reflection of the main Characters psyche, the last fight of a great warrior whose days are numbered. The quote at the beginning serves as a guideline for that interpretation.
Atleast that is how i interpreted the movie...
Once more into the fray
Into the last good fight I'll ever know
Live and die on this day
Live and die on this day....
PLEASE, if you watch this movie fast forward through the credits and watch the last scene. It completely changes the ending.
My one question: did they add the shot of him punching the wolf? Cause that was what made me excited about this movie, but I heard it was just in the trailer so I didn't watch it.
i think he was either punching or stabbing a wolf when it grabbed onto someones leg. but i cant remeber. havent seen it in a while.
The ending didn't bother me too much. I like how it left it to your imagination. What I didn't like was the 5 second clip after the credits. Still answered no questions.
Can't really diss Cast Away. That shit was pretty awesome.
I knew if anyone could appreciate this, it's Jeremy Jahns.
Don't miss the end credits scene.
Favorite survival movie: Cast Away.
The forest provides better coverage against the weather. The plane leaves you out in the open where the freezing wind will kill you. In the forest the trees will block some of wind and you'll have more resources to survive. Why are you questioning how a wolf moves around in it's natural habitat? If I remember correctly the crash site was in the wolves' territory, wouldn't have survived long if they stayed there.
Thx for this one Jeremy. 1st time I watched this I fell asleep and forgot about it since. Getting ready to watch it now.
I wanted to love this movie because Liam Neeson is a stone cold badass and the trailer looked great but i was slightly disappointed. It was enjoyable and had some good tension and performances but i don't think i'd buy it on dvd.
Dog Soldiers hands down best survival movie ever! I had a blast watching it for the first time (rent) almost a decade ago. My parents and I were actually cheering :)
One of the best of 2012, just fantastic.
That movie was set up to be entertaining. The combination of the exciting theme with the acting of Liam Neeson was in my mind perfect. But, man was I wrong! Liam Neeson's character was a joke. He portrayed a suicidal person (still nobody knows why) who was supposed to be this big expert on wolves and wild life, but immediately lead a group of a plane crash survivors to certain death. His first order in command: Leave the plane where they had some kind of shelter and go straight to the wolves den! By doing so, everybody except him died. The whole wolves thing was unrealistic, both in their appearance and behavior, not even making sense. The worst scene for me was after a guy was killed by the wolves while they were leaving the crash site. The rest of the team just spent the night exchanging jokes and past stories just like they were in a beach around fire. That was ridiculous to say the least. The writers failed miserably to create a background for the main characters as their life stories were ordinary and boring. This movie is way overrated here, i think people are just afraid to rate low for a Liam Neeson film. They shouldn't.
That would have defeated the whole purpose of the film. The story was about Liam Neeson's character facing his problems and not running from them, like he tried to do after his wife died with trying to kill himself. He finally decided to Live and Die on This Day, either ending would be sufficient, if the wolf killed him he would then be back with his wife, if he killed the wolf he would have faced his problems & be a better man. They left it up to you decide which you think should've occured.
I haven't seen it yet, but wolves hunting people isn't so weird. It's winter in the middle of nowhere...wolves' in their element. Wolves are hunters, they can tell if a "herd" is easier to prey on than say...a fast running caribou. I like wolves, but it makes sense. >_>
Dude you have given of a ton of awesometaculars this year. I wonder what your top 10 best will be this year
People are looking at The Grey as a realistic movie, in which case it flops quite big. The reason they made it like they did was because it was a deep thoughful experience, not some run and gun action thriller. Only when you sit down and consider the deeper aspects of the film will you be able to truely appreciate the directing and acting. I loved the whole thing
I don't think I've ever seen any "stranded in the middle of nowhere" movies. Not really my thing. I'll pick a favorite scene instead: the one at the end of Quantum of Solace where the bad guy is stranded in the desert with a bottle of oil. Yeah, that wasn't the best Bond movie, but that was a great ruthless end to that movie that I think showed off the Daniel Craig Bond really well.
The Edge is my favorite survival film. Anthony Hopkins is great.
There is an after credits scene in this movie where you see a bit of what happens after the cliffhanger.
i think they both died. remember "we saw the final breaths of many of the characters from the wolf he shot at the very beginning, to the guy on the plane, to the guy that fell from the tree, to the guy that drowned (sorry, can't remember their names). I think that's what they were showing there after the credits... the final breaths." (Autumn, yahoo answers) wanted to explain it mtself but easier to copy n paste :)
TG and TDKR are the best movies of 2012!
Non had 1 award-nomination, and both had Liam Neeson in it!
I'm glad I came on here before I watched it yesterday, everybody else in the theatre left once the credits started but I stayed until after and got the true conclusion.
i thought this was a great movie. I agree w/Jeremy. I also was fortunate enough to not have watched the trailer for the movie until AFTER i saw it. Turns out, the trailer shows the last scene which would falsely set up the watcher for a man vs wlf fight scene. The ending was beautiful, and if you stayed past the credits, you got a 5sec bonus scene that finalizes the result. Awesometacular indeed.
Why is a depressing ending inherently bad to you? People make mistakes, and good stories don't always end happily ever after. The way the theme of the movie came to a head in the ending was beautifully done. Tragic and sad but also inspirational and uplifting.
The Way Back is kind of good too. It's got survival aspect and a happier ending.
a decade later and i still see this in my top 20 of one of the best movies of the past decade
"Once more into the fray
Into the last good fight I'll ever know
Live and die on this day
Live and die on this day..."
Love this poem and this movie
Hey Jeremy, the movie Evangelion 3.0: You (cannot) redo comes to specific theaters on January 10th and 11th ONLY. it would be cool if you reviewed an anime movie and judge it by the voice acting, animation, atmosphere, music, and plot. Its a pretty complicated movie, you'll have to do some research on it if you want to understand it more. Its also kinda post apocalyptic, since the earth is.... sorry, i dont wanna spoil it. see trailers on funimation.
I hate seeing all the people criticizing the movie for a lack of realism. This is not meant to be a wolf documentry, through the whole movie it was obvious wolves are nothing like that. But none of that takes away the whole theme of the movie. This one of my favourite movies and has one of my favourite endings of all time
I thought the ending was perfect, it was an exceptionally emotional and ambiguous end and I can't imagine it finishing in any other way, really surprised by this film.
favorite top three survival movies in order
1.The Grey
2. Into The Wild (if that counts)
3.127 Hours
Hey Jeremy, If you liked "The Grey" you should watch "The Egde" (1997) with Anthony Hopkins if you didn't watch it already.
Awesome movie in my opinion.
I absolutely love this movie, the cinematography is amazing. I just have this deep love for this film and Liam, the poem makes me cry every time
This movie was badass, Liam Neeson could have won an award of some kind for his performance if this movie came out in 2011
This movie is like The Edge meets Pitch Black. It's so cool! That fact that you're scared when the wolves are off screen is really remenicent of Jaws. Great film, Liam Neeson is a boss.
However it doesn't help that I live in Washington state (where the sun hardly shines) and the fact that I was looking at freezing cold snowy wastelands made me shiver a bit
I loved it too! But I, being an optimistic person, felt kind depressed for these people if it really were to be a real situation. It was, confirmed by me and my husband, by far the best movie we have seen this year.
I really wanted to watch this movie ever since I saw an AWESOMETACULAR rating from Jeremy in January, but for some DUMB reason I have been putting it off! But finally watched it last night...and it is seriously AWESOMETACULAR. Completely blew me away was not what I had expected at all, like...wow. Easily in my top list of films...ever. It makes Cast Away look like a summer vacation.
late, but my favorite survival movie is the edge with anthony Hopkins and alec baldwin
