What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople are mostly digging this survival story, especially for its gorgeous Alaskan visuals and the real star of the show, the dog Odin. Brad Pitt's performance as stranded soldier James Belmont is a bit divisive, but his bond with his canine co-star works. The plot itself, a man and his dog battling the wilderness after a crash, is solid enough to hold things together, even if some find it familiar and the pacing a little slow.
