TOO MANY SCENES WERE IRRATIONAL!
This film gets a few things right. It's suspenseful, unpredictable, and for once the animal attacking people is of believable size. That was refreshing. But many scenes were so irrational I couldn't really enjoy the experience.
The boat was always the only answer. - They wouldn't even bother with another plan, because there wasn't one.
Let's try using the trees. - Really? And go where, exactly? Even if that was possible they had no sense of direction and were much too far from land.
You could never sleep on branches that narrow. - Never. You move when you sleep and they would fall out of that tree in no time.
Let's sing songs about crocodiles eating monkeys. - After witnessing two brutal deaths? Please.
I just watched the father of my unborn baby die, but I'm fine. - In a scene much, much to soon after the death of her mate, Grace seems to have virtually no psychological trauma at all. In fact, she seems more calm than before. If you witnessed that in real life you'd be a hysterical train wreck.
I'm only criticizing this film in this manner because it is rooted in reality. If it was portrayed as a fantasy I would be more accepting.
