CriticalOfEverything Review of The Call of the Wild

The Call of the Wild (2020)

"We'll just CGI the dog, that won't look soulless at all!"

[5/10 · 28 February 2020]

I think we've officially reached the point where movies are now made without any soul or creative vision. This is not only a remake of an already existing film, but it is plagued with unnecessary CGI that looks obvious and is incredibly distracting. Those two elements are put together to make a film that is, while admittedly serviceable, ultimately the product of a corporation/company, not an artist. Harrison Ford always does a good job and at times the movie is heartwarming, but it's also cheesy and at times even boring.

Am I just out of touch or is this just the norm for film nowadays?
