The Grey (1:57) 2012
Ottway (Liam Neeson) is on a plane departing from an Alaskan oil rig. The plane crashes into the tundra with Ottway and six other rig workers surviving. The group begins to walk towards to the treeline to their chances of survival. They are in agreement if they stay with the charred plane they will freeze or run out of food as rescue is unlikely. The most imminent danger to the group's survive is a pack of wolves, very big wolves. The pack is not afraid of the humans; quite the opposite, the wolves wait until an individual has walked away from the group and then attack. As Ottway and the others walk, the members are picked off one by one. Sometimes death comes from a wolf, sometimes illness and accidents. The Grey is a man's action/survival thriller. Although it comes with blood and gore, I do admit that I did like this movie. I found that the movie held my interest, the survival activities in the Alaskan wilderness seemed realistic. Of course, my wilderness experience is limited to reading Gentle Ben and Brian's Winter with my sixth graders.
