Solid camera work and direction throughout, the cinematography is excellent with more than some help from a series of stunning vistas. The story however was broken early on with the fathers behaviour; expecting the son of a man who's kid falls off a cliff some 50 feet to a ledge, to wake and undergo an epic journey home falling in love with a wolf who he bounds with and ultimately risks his life to save would never happen under this guys parenting. After falling to the cliff ledge his dad looks at him for a few seconds, makes little to no attempt to help him, neither waiting for his own child to wake from an unconscious state or simply lowering a rope down. Pretty much walked away from his kid in an instant, then we're asked to care about him getting home to his father showing traits along the way he clearly didn't learn from home, made it difficult to care...
