While the 4 guys had to build a makeshift rope using the clothes to cross the river, the wolves were already waiting for them on the other side.
How the hell did that happen !!!
Unless they were different wolves? Remember they moved towards the den not away from it. However this seems less likely than the wolves moved down the valley and back up. We dont know how long it took to make that rope. But it does seem like a plot hole...
Because nobody loves me, its true
not like you do...

👏👏👏
shareto be fair, wolves move infinitely faster than humans, particularly in deep snow where they can be light on their feet on top of it
it is not impossible to believe that they could get there quite quickly. also considering that their 'den' was in that direction, maybe there were just different groups of the pack in different spots, like already over there
If i go crazy will you still call me Superman?

I think they teleported there.

Take 30 seconds to research wolf anatomy before you make stupid generalizations about large animals.
shareIt's not about the how much an animal weighs or how large an animal is. It's about how well their weight is distributed over the snow. Unlike dogs that you are basing your comparison on, wolves are built for running in snow. They have much wider paws with slight webbing, and they also spread and shift their weight to their toes when moving through snow. This gives them superior weight distribution allowing them to move through snow much better than us or many other animals for that matter. Think of it as nature's version of snowshoes.
Please do at least a little research before you go spouting off nonsense about animals that you obviously know nothing about. You kinda sound like an idiot.
Why would anyone think they were the SAME WOLVES????
Like there were no other wolves in that freaking DEN????
Cmon people..... This movie is not amazingly real but its not that bad either...

Because if they're not, one must believe that the wolves were acting on a plan to drive the men towards that ravine in order to kill them, and then also knew that they could possibly cross it by constructing a clothes rope. I guess a lot of people didn't fall for the ridiculous anthropomorphism that went on in The Grey.
It's simple, actually. It's because real wolves don't come anywhere near behaving that way. So yes, their depiction was a wild contrivance.
Considering the way the fantasy wolves were portrayed in The Grey, and how they behaved from the moment they appeared until the showdown at the wolves den, one can only come to the conclusion that the ones on the other side of the ravine were different ones and acting on a plan that was masterminded by the alpha. The plan was to pick them off one by one and drive Ottway into the den for a mano a wolfo throw down.
The argument has been made that the wolves were never intended to be representations of real wolves, but instead fantasy ones meant to represent stalking death. If that's to be accepted as the truth, then what I wrote above has to be the case.
I never thought that the wolves on the other side of the ravine were the same ones. It's just that some have a real hard time swallowing the ridiculous portrayal and what must be the truth about why the wolves were doing what they were doing.
I've fallen it's true, but I say to you, hold your tongues until after I've spoken.
Seriously, you know that Wolves don't carry a torch for you as well, right?
shareSays the guy?/gal?/it? carrying a torch.

If I'm an IT, does that mean I'm one of the offspring that has derived from you and a wolf? Are you my Mama?

Just kiss already and get it over with.
shareNo tongue!
This tactic used by The_Wood is one that was used constantly by SeasonalAffective back when me and another poster expressed our disdain for the movie and its maker on a regular basis, confronting SA: hijacking threads and derailing discussion. We couldn't talk to anyone without his puerile intervention. With him, you had to love the movie or get the f@#k out. Now that SA has given up, he's using this sock puppet account to continue his behavior.

Oh get real. The only thing you do on this website is troll around and pick fights about The Grey and things that deal with big foot. It's hysterical. You clearly have an agenda that really doesn't have anything to do with a movie. I've called you on it multiple times and you attempt to be witty. Usually failing miserably.
shareLord, what a tired, worn out response that is! The obligatory complaint from the IMDb butthurts.

Is that how it works in real life? Groups of wolves are positioned sentry-like around the den in order to attack anyone or anything that may approach? It'd take a whole lot of wolves to do that. Remember, Ottway said that the wolves' kill range was something like a thirty mile radius from the den. And they were still a good ways from the den when they crossed that ravine. So I guess it was just dumb luck that some wolves happened to be nearby when the first man dropped, ready to tear him apart? No, the wolves were obviously acting on a plan, or must have been communicating telepathically. If that wasn't what the filmmakers intended to convey, the group that was stalking the men from the crash site must have been the same ones that were waiting on the other side of the ravine.

The wolves had already crossed the river from their den to the crash site, so they merely crossed back to their den. They knew how to cross the river in their own territory, although the men crossed at a more treacherous place (and not at the shallow ford the wolves used). Wolves are faster runners and have more endurance than men.
I'm sorry the Coen brothers don't direct the porn I watch. They're hard to get ahold of, okay?
Apart from the Coen brothers nonsense, this makes sense!
1. The airplane crashes. 2. The crash site is surrounded by wolves. 3. The survivors set out into the forest through heavy snow. 4. They are attacked by the wolves, who are in their element. 5. Wolves are faster runners than men, and have better endurance, and particularly in deep snow. 6. The survivors cross the river, but then realize that they have crossed toward the wolf den. 7. The wolves see the men cross the river. 8. The wolves who have already crossed the river to surround the crash site, cross back at a place known to them, since it is in their own territory.

There's a deleted scene where they equip jet packs and rocket across. Director thought it was a bit impractical so they took it out.
shareA better question: How did the main character stay alive for so long, after being in that icy water for several minutes?
His hands weren't shaking or anything, he could even flip through wallets and pictures with no problems.
Perhaps God DID intervene, making him warm again to allow him to die fighting. :)
The weather during that moment didn't look particularly freezing, probably just below zero (or 32 F) from the looks. You wouldn't freeze to death in minutes when wearing fleece/wool clothes and out of the water, but you would still be in extreme discomfort. He would be dead by nightfall without heat, but certainly not in minutes.
