    Upon leaving the theater, my dog looked at me with tears in his eyes. We made our way back to the car, and as we were making our way home, he looked at me and said, “They did it Jaden. That was my Black Panther.”

    It’s insane that they didn’t just cast a dog as a dog. This thing gets like 40% funnier if you imagine that every dog in Hollywood passed on the job and so they had no choice but to mocap a guy as a dog.

    My brother (who is 28 I believe) does not watch movies. We are not alike.   One time he told me he hates “fake” movies because they’re all the same and are stupid.  He only watches movies based on true stories or are about hunting/fishing or the wilderness in general.…

    Harrison Ford who shows his bare chest at 77 years deserves at least 2 stars.

    I just want to be an old prospector living in a little cottage by the river, spending my days searching for gold with my best friend, who is a badly cgi’d dog.  I just want my weirdly animated dog friend to follow their wolf spirit and run among the mountains and find a…

    Han Solo, now old, has retired to the Ice Planet of Hoth. Chewbacca must’ve perished because he has a new dog now named “Buck.” This is a movie about dog jealousy, dog envy, and one sided conversations. Han and Buck go on an adventure before ultimately settling in the…

Harrison Ford brings his gruff charisma but this man-and-CG-dog adventure gets a bit lost in uncanine-y valley.

Ford doesn’t give a bad performance, but the dog does: the obvious fakery we can (maybe) overlook in a CG lion is far too glaring when it’s man’s best friend.

Bad CGI takes away everything real about the relationship between man and dog in this inherently flawed, technically focused adaptation of Jack London’s age-old classic. Not even Harrison Ford, charming as he may be, can rescue this cynically made film from emotional bankruptcy.
