The Call Of The Wild

Went to see it today. Its terrific! Loved it. The cinematography is spectacular, and the animation is believable and well done. Harrison Ford, as usual, slips into the part like a gravely-voiced glove.

Highly recommend.

I had thought it was going to be live dog mixed with CG, but I hardly noticed after a bit.

in all of the reviews I saw: the story/acting are fine but the CGI is overdone. If I do see it I can't quibble with the story as I've never read the book. I know it's standard for school lit classes, but I somehow managed to avoid it all these years. That and Gatsby.

May have to check it out.

And saw the previews. The scenery looked amazing. But I heard the CGI was a little distracting. I'll probably pass.
