"I couldn't help admiring him. He was so wise. He had a deep knowledge born of a lifetime spent in the wilds. He was goodhearted, generous minded. He could think of a man he'd never met, and that he probably would never meet." A film more actual than ever, in times of war and ecological destruction, if we continue on this path Amba will come for the human species too.

I felt like this was really one-note--a group of Russians is saved, again and again, by the knowledge of a wilderness guide. What might have been an adventure film or a character development piece instead never quite transcended the various set pieces thrown in the characters' way. I was bored.

How good animals sound. Great movie, landscapes, actors, direction
