I identified with many aspects of Chris's plight. His experiences echoed my own. Chris was a rare man who was true to himself and defied lifes trappings. Great film, great book, great soundtrack! worth reading his sisters book 'Wild Truth'.

Don't buy waste of money. Equally don't watch it's hours you can't get back. Weird sad depressing movie haunting and freakish.

Rather pretentious and boring….

Inspirational film

really I just don’t get why people romanticise this guys life and his ending is the ending of a fool

This characters story is truly remarkable, makes you think about the most important things we have in life. This movie will give you a mixture of emotions throughout .

A brilliant movie about life, love, freedom and truth.

Wow, can't say enough good things about this movie. It's one of those films that will stay with me, I will never forget it, made me laugh, made me cry!

I rent movies a couple times a week and they are pretty much all rubbish but then I stumbled across this absolute gem.

Favourite movie of all time. Loved it

I find it interesting (i can't tell the age of the reviewers) that everyone tends to focus on the journey he goes on as a totally positive spiritual awakening.....being a dad of a wayward lad, not many notice how it cripples those who love and have loved him, not just his parents, lovers, those who care and at the end he discovers the real truth about happiness being on that is shared. He;s focussed and independent for sure, but true realisation comes when he can't cross the river back and (i won't spoil the ending)

"...and I also know how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong, but to be feel strong, to measure yourself at least once, to find yourself in the most ancient of human conditions, facing the blind deaf stone alone, with nothing to help you but your hands and your own head."

One of my ultimate favourite films!

Una pelicula buenisima. You can't miss it

Very much agree that this is a beautiful film, with many stunning shots of Alaska etc, but essentially, this guy was a bit of a wally, wasn't he? Heading off into the Alaskan wilderness with insufficient knowledge of that wilderness [surely the rivers flooding in spring is quite basic info], inadequate food, and inadequate experience. If he knew he would need to butcher animals, why didn't he get some work experience at a butchers shop? I was quite unpersuaded by him - thought he needed to pull his socks up and face his responsibilities in life, even if his parents didn't have the happiest marriage in the world. After all, what about his sister? I felt sorry for her. He should have called her. Instead, he just left her to years of torment and uncertainty as to where he was and what had happened to him. She, and his parents, were probably imagining the worst. I thought he was selfish. Know most people on here disagree with me, but just my two cents!

A film about a boy with a gripe against his parents, who decides - without letting any of his family know where he is going - to go on a journey of self discovery, whilst all the people who loved or cared for him are left scratching their heads as to what may have befallen him. In other words, this is a film about a very selfish person who has a whale of a time in correlation with others misery. As a film, it is well shot, and does provide some interest value, although it does get a bit: "Hey man, civilization is bad"! In addition, the protagonist is a little full of himself, and at times, pertains to be some sort of wise oracle figure. Why he couldn't have just walked around the block I'll never know!!? Anyways, worth a watch, but on the whole I'd probably recommend Emilio Estevez's film "The Way" (2010) over this offering. It's a little slow to begin with but well worth a viewing.

I liked this movie and I think if you aspire to change your lifestyle then perhaps this could give you the inspiration that you need. I love how it highlights the rat race culture and contrasts it against the bleak emptiness of Alaska. That being said, it is a tad contrived and cliched in places but overall this is good, thought provoking material.

Rich kid goes and finds himself, its Bear Grylls wet dream. safe yourself the money and rent something else.

Was recommended this film by a friend and wasn't sure what to expect but have since recommended it loads of people! I was very moved by the storey and superb performances through out. A must see movie!

Good Film - well worth watching

great film but to starve to death (even before eating the plant) it was spring/summer? he had a gun a fishing pole a fishing net??? and how did that bus come to be parked in such a remote location next to a river he could fish? Chris did die but not i feel in a way this film portrays. sorry if i offend but i need to ask these questions

I've seen this film hundreds of times now and I can proudly call it my favourite. Cinematography, music, cast, everything is so perfect and beautiful. I have been so inspired to see more of the world after viewing. Unmissable!

Best movie ever

One of the best films I've seen to date

i thought this film was inspirational ,drawing on so many fundamental themes ,remarkable and entirely worth watching

this is one of the best films i have watched for a long time sheer beauty

Have never left feedback but such a gr8 film. Very touching, really makes u think bout things. Well worth the money. Was totally engrossed.

I think it is a great film and I love it also it is a true story watch it now believe me it is good

One of the best thing film has ever seen. I cry when I think of this film. Revolutionary in it's filming, passionate in it's story. I have loved and lost. But never seem a film that has given me so much, in the way I live and the way I feel this film has changed my life for the better. Let it do the same for you ps. I hope some of the profit goes to the Family

One of the greatest films based on a true story. The life of Chris 'Alex Supertramp McCandless has brought to life the realisation of how materialistic this world has become and how much strength and happyness life can truly give you

This movie is truly one of the best movies I have ever seen It inspired me to go out and do more in the world.

I can honestly say that this is the most inspirational and gripping film I have ever seen. I didn't just enjoy it, I learnt from it too. This is definitely my favourite film and I would recommend it to anyone.

This film is the moving story of a man who is questionning the meaning of his life.

It is astonishing and full of hope.

If i had the chance again i wouldn't bother with this film

Best film ever, utterly fantastic and awakens the inner traveller in us all. Great Film

one of the most beautiful and astonishing movies i've ever seen in my life! the story is beautifully told and after you've seen the movie it stays in your mind for weeks. the composition the emotions the music the pictures... everything is breath raking about. wow i admire sean penn for that. probably the best movie ever

oh, wouldn't buy it on itunes though

I have never written a review about anything of this sort in my entire life, but this film compelled and engaged me to do so. It is truly inspirational, If you have ever wanted to experience something more than the mediocre society of modern day and look to the real beauty of life then this will get you thinking.

How many times do we hope we are going to connect with a movie and come away from viewing it feeling deprived. Into the wild is a film very much ahead of it's time. It engages the senses, fuilfills our deepest desires for adventure and our subconscious yearning for freedom. Freedom from materialsm, freedom from keeping up with the rat race and control. A great film for anti-globalisation. One I shall return to time and time again and i guess now i need to read the book!

Brilliant film, brilliant soundtrack, very emotional and extremely gripping. Art in its finest form!

This movie is absolutely captivating, intriguing and powerful. Pure inspiration.

Best film I've seen this year!! :-)

Its the best film ive ever seen i've watched it 14 times on the tv and i still decided to buy it on here........definitely a 5 star film.....better than gladiator and gladiator used to be my favourite film but this....phenomonal!

Brought this film for the cracking price of £3.99 after watching a trailer for it the other day. Have to say was seriously impressed with all aspects of this film, the visuals, acting, locations, structure and scripting were all top notch. Some people will call this film pretentious because it essentially trys to grasp aspects of key emotions and bring them to the audience, but if you can let go and imagine what it would be like to travel the way that Alex did, im sure you'll understand and appriciate it. If you've ever been travelling on a gap year or something like that to places like Australia, New Zealand, South America, South East Asia etc, where you get that sense of adventure and understand the beauty that surrounds you (For those that have been, you'll know what I mean), then this film is for you. Highly Recommended

Great film, what a journey and what a tragic loss, very sad at the end. Emile Hirsh is a great actor reminds me of a younger Leonardo Decaprio, great talent and done the film and the main character real justice. What a shame it ended how it did.

Completely heart-wrenching in places. A little slow to start off with but it's all a build up to a series of events. Don't watch if you only like happy endings! 4/5 stars because I wanted him to fall in love with Kristen Stewart!

I really like this film. It's s real, yet sad. I watched this for the first time when I was travelling and it felt perfect then as it does now. Good film, worth buying!

Truly Amazing.

This film is actually incredible, I have seen a lot of films in my life...and this is up there in the top five, with Shawshank Redemption and The Godfather. Truly it is a masterpiece. It gives you another perspective of the world we live in today, as well as being a fantastic film. This film is the single and only film EVER that moved my....thats hard to do. Also the film has incredible cinematography!

The book is also very good. Buy...its worth it.

this movie is really thought-provoking and unique, although at times it can drag on and you can lose focus of what the actual plotline is about.

There is however, some great acting in the film and the ending is really suprising. The scenery is amazing and Emile Hirsch and Kristen Stewart's performances were brilliant - actors to watch out for in the future.

I dont understand why the reviews for this film are so good. It is one of the worst films ive ever seen. Its really boring and drags on for sooo long. If your looking for a good film-AVOID THIS ONE!

I thought this film was incredible, BUY BUY BUY! The films gets you into a trance and before you know it you can't get out of your seat!
