One of my all time favorites.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Have not seen the whole thing yet, however this is by far the most real depict i have watched in this category of films. What made it so good is the real problems, lack of food, no animals around and the lack of niched preperation, i.e. fishing in that particular spot. Ed is great with telling us about his insights and worries, i feel as i am there with him and on some level experience this thing. What he does is what i have always wanted, just this, get put down in an unknown place and just... survive. So far all is good. onwards to the next ep.If you by anychance read this Ed, I really think you are tough as the toughest material on... well everywhere, lets start a new scale for toughness, called ED!! :Dglad you filmed it for us!Greetings from Sweden BTW. I hope i can do a similar thing sometime
