The Call of the Wild

Director: Christopher Michael Sanders
Release Date:

Adapted from Jack London’s beloved literary classic, The Call Of The Wild vividly brings to life the story of a big-hearted dog named Buck, and John Thornton (Harrison Ford), the man Buck must learn to trust. Abruptly uprooted from his pampered lifestyle in sunny California, Buck finds himself in the exotic wilds of the Alaskan Yukon. As the newest dog on a mail delivery sled team during the turbulent Gold Rush days of the 1890s, Buck has left behind a once comfortable life for one of hardship and survival. Life again changes dramatically for Buck when he meets Thornton, a loner-turned-adventurer, and it’s clear that the two are destined to experience the adventure of a lifetime. Navigating through an environment that is as unforgiving as it is spectacular, the journey profoundly transforms both man and dog. With its unique blend of intense live action and cutting-edge animation, The Call Of The Wild is a visually stunning experience featuring realistic, emotionally authentic character

Not great, but pretty good!

Harrison Ford is my favorite actor of all time. And i read this book in high school. So i really wanted to see it, aside from the All CGI Buck. But there is no way a real dog could have expressed the emotions of Buck, and once you get used to it in the first half hour, the rest of the movie is quite enjoyable. Don’t listen to bad reviews and just enjoy it. Great family movie??


Don’t bother

Why they decided to mix CGI and Live Action is beyond me. Aesthetics alone make this a clunker, and the retelling of the story is lifeless. Just read the book and hope for a fully animated version down the line that does the story justice.


Worst CGI I have ever seen

Honestly, irrespective of the story or the fact it is Harrison Ford, the CGI dog is so horrible that you cannot take this movie seriously. Avoid.


Fake reviews

When you see misspelled words and ridiculous claim like “I seen it twice already in theaters” you know the movie is so bad they had to pay people to leave reviews. These are always bad.


Absolutely awful!!!

Don’t waste your time. I don’t think the creators bothered to not only read the novel but they didn’t even bother to read even a Jack London short story. Absolutely terrible with a topping a of wokeness. Then you throw in a digital dog-are you freaking kidding me!!!! As awesome as Harrison Ford is, he couldn’t save this movie. If you’re expecting it to maybe even throw a bone at the book, don’t bother!!! Horrible!!! They should be ashamed but I’m sure they’re not! Terrible movie! Not just the dog is digital-they even did piss poor animation of people-are you telling me they could find a second rate minimum wage actor to be a minor character? Jack London would beat the crap out of whoever thought this was a good idea! Terrible!!! But I’ve gone on long enough.....or have I? I don’t know how to possibly convey how offensively awful this movie is!!!!!
