Running Free (1999)

Great movie!
I loved this movie! How could anyone not like it? Sure, it gets a bit slow in the middle when the movie just follows the wolverine around for a while, but overall it's a fine film. Yeah, some of the actors, especially the poacher, were sub-par... but the main kid was great! Jesse Montgomery Sythe is definitely one of the cutest child actors I've ever seen! He does a great job in this movie. I woulda thought he'd go on to even bigger things, but I guess not. Wherever he is now, little Jesse probably grew up to be a looker. If I ever saw that guy, I'd probably marry him. :D Get this movie! It's cool for the whole family!

Great scenery & animal footage; lame story line
I am probably prejudice because I know the film makers and some of the animals personally, but regardless, I feel the scenery is breathtaking (I LOVE Alaska!) and the filming was done well. However, the story doesn't flow, the acting and some of the audio is very poor (especially the scene where the guy is arrested). If as much work was put into the story and acting as was in the filming of the animals, scenery, explosion, avalanche, plane crash, etc., it would have been a MUCH better movie. As is, after watching it once, it seems more enjoyable to watch it and leave the sound on mute.

Amateur effort at depicting Alaskan Adventure
Very poorly done. The only thing I really enjoyed were the beautiful sled dogs.
