This film is like no other... A very good movie, a very good life, it comes to show what a man can do, very inspirational, emille hirsch portrays a great character who acctulay existed!, a man acctulay done this! The movie it's self was a bit slow in places, had to pause a couple of times and run around the lounge because my legs were setting, but a good movie to watch if you want something better in life, as emille hirsch says in the movie: "If you want something in life... Reach out and grab it" those words will never leave my mind, i only gave it 4 stars because it was a long film that felt like it went on for hours! But you should buy this film, and remember christopher mcandless for what he did.

7 quid well spent. If you're sick to death of the World we live in, sick of your job, your boss, sick of competing against everyone, sick of how the world is so obsessed with money and possessions then GET THIS FILM. You wont be disappointed :-)

This is quite simply a fantastic movie well directed by Sean Penn. A beautiful story of man's cry for freedom from the rat race.Well acted and thought provoking, a master piece.Buy it now !

This film is incredible. I could watch this film a dozen times and not get bored! The acting is brilliant and the story line is amazing. Don't think about buying it, just do it! You won't regret it.

What a stupendous film. Not only is the soundtrack brilliant, the backdrop breathtaking and the story deep but it includes exceptional performances. It really is a must-see for any person. Its appealing for both men and women though those who prefer fast pace action may find it tedious. If it was any quicker the beauty and absorbance of the film and characters would be lost.
I've watched it over fifteen times with my family and friends, making damn sure everyone sees this remarkable film! If you haven't seen this yet i really advise you to, it's too good of a film to miss out on!!

Into the Wild is a film about the last few years of Christopher McCandless's life; which was spent wandering aimlessly around the North American wilderness meeting all kinds of free thinking and free loving, tax dodging vagrants. Christopher, or Alex, as he is better known in the film, was from a privileged background. He ignobly decided to reject materialism and fall off the grid. Alex is an unsympathetic character, and throughout the film I struggled to muster not only sympathy, but also a semblance of comprehension as to why Alex took the path that he did, in such a brutally selfish manner. In a lesser film, this fact alone could ruin what follows entirely, but Emile Hirsch gives and incredibly tuned in and dedicated performance as Chris/Alex. The high level of this central performance helps to turn a dislikeable real life person into a complicated and interesting character whose stunning journey exceeds the limitations of his rather naïve, dubious, hurtful and silly motivations.

Emile Hirsch is the heart of this film and it excels because of his performance. There are, of course, other elements in the film which are exemplary, the supporting characters (for the most part) have limited screen time, but are all well written and form an important piece of Alex's puzzle. Particularly memorable are the quirky Danish couple that Alex encounters while canoeing his way to old Mexico. The soundtrack is brilliant and evocative and the cinematography is equally triumphant, dude. An early third act wobble with a tacked on romance and a regurgitation of already expended hippie characters is quickly remedied by a tremendously uplifting and moving encounter with an elderly loner (Hal Halbrook). His wisdom is inspirational to Alex; whose eagerness and vitality, in turn, rejuvenates the ageing recluse. It's a beautiful segment that provides the luxurious and creamy topping on an already tasty chocolate cake.

Into the Wild is a slow paced and well assembled film. Just as the film lingers, so do the questions that it raises. There is inspiration to be found here, a moving and unusual fiction that is more effecting and noble than the reality on which it is based. I personally rate Into the Wild as the second best film of 2007, sandwiched neatly in between Jesse James and Ian Curtis.

into the wild is spectacular!!! good acting performances and great music!! the film is bringing you in to the wild - really!

i had been wanting to watch this film ever since it came out in the cinemas. But as usual i never got around to watching it ,so i decided to buy it instead, and what can i say, one of the best buys ever this is definitely a unique and amazing film. even though it is on longer than the usual 90 minutes, i never got bored of it.

I read the book years ago and have been eager to see a film made of this incredible story which can polarise opinion, depending on whether you see McCandless as a hero or a spoiled brat. The non-linear narrative makes the film awkward to follow to begin with, but it is all the more rewarding for that. I was interested to read that Penn waited 10 years to make the film so that he had the approval of the McCandless family to make the film. Hirsch's performance is spellbinding and the fact he lost 40 pounds for the the tail end of the film says so much about how much he immersed himself in the role. From time to time the film reminded me of The Straight Story (and if you haven't seen that film PLEASE DO). The scenes of unrequited love are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen on film. Watch it, then watch it again. Awesome stuff!

Into the Wild is an amazing film. It's not an action film, it's not about horror, its not a drama. Its just true. This film is about a man who is so sick of our materialistic and selfish world and decides that he doesn't need money or expensive cars. He rips up his ID and his credit cards, gives his savings to charity and leaves.
He goes on the most increidable journey to Alaska to live off the land and he meets people along the way who are considered weird and outcasts, but who he shares a bond with. When I was first told about this movie, I had never heard of it, but having watched it I would reccomend it to everyone.
How many of us have dreamed, at one point or another, of just getting in our car and leaving all of this behind? Well this guy actually did it.
