**Brave, emotional, and beautiful** I had the opportunity to watch this movie before its official release, experiencing the premiere early. The film is gripping, and several scenes had me on the edge of my seat. The direction is excellent, and Brad Pitt's performance is outstanding. Although the story is set in Alaska, most of the shooting took place in New Zealand, showcasing a beautiful wilderness. The emotional scenes were well-executed, making it easy to relate to the protagonist. Not to mention, the dog also did a fantastic job. Overall, it is a great watch. While the survival concept isn't new, this is one of the most well-executed films in the genre.
