Why bother doing it if you're not at least gonna try do it right?

I expected great things from this film but was seriously disappointed! Firstly, the story itself is lacking any real substance. Bryson's wife is such a cliche and so unlikeable as to be my least favourite character of the film. I mean what sort of man takes such disrespect, negativity and lack of support from his ugly wife with not a sign of displeasure. The man doesn't really want to go hiking, he just wants to get some peace and quiet before he loses it and commits a terrible crime.

Now Bryson is not a great writer by any stretch of the imagination. He appeals to a certain strand of semi-educated yet world, and reality, naive suburbanites who don't want to read anything too deep or illuminating lest their comfortable view of the world be tainted with any uncomfortable truth! Nevertheless, to present such inaccuracies in regards to the hiking gear the characters carry is not only irresponsible but downright disrespectful. Hiking is hard work. You don't hike on a fine day with big thick jackets on, you don't carry walking poles to decorate your pack and you don't go to sleep without eating no matter how hard your day was. Food is a major part of hiking. and it takes work when you are in the wilderness yet all we see in the film is when they find a diner to order food at while drinking beer and hooking up with fat sluts.
Oh and did you catch that for every ten male hikers (always slim twenty-something caucasians) there is precisely one highly neurotic, slutty and unattractive female?

So basically it was a stupid waste of time to even make this "movie", and in a year filled with such stellar cinematic masterpieces - such as the stunning genius creation The Revenant - I feel quiet embarrassed for anyone whose name appears in the credits of this disaster!
