Steve D Rip off of many better films. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review farah r I have no idea what I just watched, but I'm pretty sure it was a mistake. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Kirsten Dunst crashlands in the Canadian wild with the oldest kid from Home Improvement. After taking 15 seconds getting over the deaths of their pilot and guardian, they follow the whims of a weirdo native named Koronesta (or something - I swear they pronounce it 5 different ways) who seems to have been living in the boonies by himself for too long. He speaks fractured English like an Indian on F-Troop, refers to a local Kodiak bear as his grandfather, and looks like he was born closer to Monterey than Moose Jaw. The poachers they encounter provide some fun with their hilarious over-the-top performances that scream BAD GUYS as loudly as the military in Avatar. To be fair, as a family movie it's not that bad and sends a positive environmental message, and a young Dunst gets one of her earliest lead roles and proves her mettle as an actress by having to say seemingly half her lines while squinting to keep the sun out of her eyes. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Bonnie (Kirsten Dunst) and her twin brother Sam (Zachery Ty Bryan are thrust into a quest for survival when their plane crashes in the treacherous Canadian backwoods. All seems lost until Khononesta, a Native American, arrives to help them. As he leads them back to civilization, the wise man teaches the teenagers the laws of nature and the meaning of friendship. But just when Bonnie and Sam seem out of harm's way, their adventure takes a nail-biting twist when evil bear trappers begin tracking them! also stars August Schellenberg, Ben Cardinal, Darren Moore, Dey Young, Duncan Fraser, Garvin Cross, John Novak, Larry Musser, Mark Acheson, Michael Gross, Mitchell Kosterman, Tom McBeath and Vincent Gale. directed by Catherine Cyran.
