good movie
17 December 2004 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

The first time I saw this movie was when I was I think 4 and loved it.The second time I saw this film i saw the beginning of it in the fifth grade.

Finally at the age of thirteen I caught it on Showtime. It all in all is a good movie I like the realistic survival aspects of the movie. It had very good acting and gave the book it was based on justice. Since I liked it so much I think I will Buy it at Christmas. Jared Rushton gives a good performance in it and so does Ned Betty. I think the movie could have told more about the mother and father's story though. I would not recommend the sequels,because they were kind of cheap and pointless, and piggybacked the first one. so just see the first one and not the cheap sequels.
