Stop on this one if you're not sure what to watch
A pleasant surprise. I did not have lot of expectations from this movie but yet another Canadian surprise. The movie starts out of the jungle but catches up with the theme very soon. As always the case, the main attraction arrives late. Still there is some tension which keeps the movie going and if you're anything like me, you will enjoy the jungle survival shown even though we have seen it in documentaries a lot. The direction is good and the acting could have been a little better but still the main guy have done a good job. The CGI..well.. are OK, not a lot of them but the rabbit scene will make it up for that. Overall, not the worst i have seen. I enjoyed it As i said, not sure what to watch..give this movie a try..
Interesting addition to the genre Bear Grylls Vs The Predator
A survival documentary filmmaker runs into trouble when he comes up against more that just the local animal life. With a major spoiler from the outset, imagine and episode of Bear Grylls mixed with the Predator (1987) and an alien design reminiscent of District 9 (2009) and you'll sort of get feel of Man Vs. Half of the fun of director Adam Massey's offering is guessing for the first half what is the main character up against. Man Vs. echoes the likes of Exists, Blackfoot Trail, Bigfoot County (2012) Bigfoot: The Lost Coast Tapes (2012) Willow Creek (2013), The Hunted (2013) while not a found footage film per say, thankfully it's a mix of presenter Doug's camera views, go-pro POVs and a traditionally shot film perspective (similar to REC 3 (2012) and The Pyramid (2014). In terms of execution Massey's film surpasses genre expectations due to traditional shot segments and well executed practical and 'monster' special effects in the last quarter. It has a very small cast ensemble. Thanks to a great performance from Chris Diamantopoulos as Doug, channelling Grylls, he single handily keeps Man Vs. interesting while he does his TV show bits for the majority of the film and believes he's being hunted by a bear, wolf or even a crazy fan of his show. The Canadian natural forest setting framed by Miroslaw Baszak sells Massey's story. Writer Thomas Michael leaves enough clues - skinned bodies, chess boards, black goo, dead fish to keep you guessing what Doug is up against but if you've seen 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) you'll see the twist coming. That said, Michael and Massey successfully create a small scale paranoia tale on the backdrop peripheral of something larger going on. John Rowley's score is effective throughout, but especially in the closing where realisation hits Doug and rescue by his team and acquaintance are skewed. While the genre is worn, if you like the aforementioned movies you'll get a kick out of Massey's addition to the genre. Three quarters survival show and a quarter sci-fi. Recommended.
It is no blockbuster...
... but it is a pretty decent movie. Obviously, the budget for it was minimal. But a decent direction, good script and nice acting conspired to make "Man Vs." into a very entertaining survival film with some sci-fi elements. The location, main actor are perfectly chosen. The story moves at a good pace, we are kept guessing (as intended by the director) and the conclusion was also interesting. It is a lesson on how to make quality work with little money. It is much better than I expected. Give it a try
a very good thriller ,sci-fi movie 8 out of 10
just to share my personal opinion about this movie. The movie about a guy filming a man VS nature show ,but things turns into a man VS the unknown . while this movie suffers from some bad acting (the crew-the wife) but the hero of the movie doing a pretty good job and that's all matter because its all about one man surviving scenario , other than that this movie is guaranteed to put you on the edge of your seat , the suspense tension moments , surprises , all are there to make one of the very few good thriller,Sci-Fi movies i saw this year ,though i couldn't help but to compare some scenes with Arnold Schwarzenegger Predator movie . also there is some realistic scene about skinning an animal that might anger some people and to those i say please stick on watching Lassie . All in All a pretty good movie 8/10
Good movie, terrible way to end it
This movie was actually really good and suspenseful. Initially I wanted to give it a higher rating. Well, that was until the last 20 minutes started rolling. They totally ruined the entire movie for me. Without spoiling too much: let's just say that there were some really bad CGI VFX at play (during the aforementioned last 20 minutes). About the movie itself: it's a typical "filming in the woods, gone wrong" type of movie. But unlike most other movies of this genre they managed to make this one cleverly educational. There are plenty of scenes where the protagonist explains exactly what he's doing. Kind of like a survival guide if you will (there is however a better/more effective way of starting a fire than was shown in the movie). Final verdict: if it weren't for the crappy ending this movie would have been truly great. What a way to ruin a movie.
