I liked it...

20 February 2006 | by beckbln – See all my reviews

First: It's known that animals do sense drastic changes and danger from weather. So where's the problem with that?

Second, we get so see all kinds of rubbush from Hollywood. Whatz wrong with this one?

It's an action-drama, not a documentary.

And for a based-on-true-events movie it sticks pretty close to reality (compared to Hollywood).

I think it had all I expect from a movie of that kind. It's a nice popcorn-and-beer movie for boring days and for a German TV-flick the CGI was extremely good.

So ppl, stop complaining. It's not that bad at all.

Have a look at the DU BIST DEUTSCHLAND campaign again and try to understand what it means. Germans just love to complain. It's a pain in the ass.
