This film begins during prehistoric times in Europe with a small tribe trying to endure the harsh elements the best that they can. On that note, a young man by the name of "Keda" (Kodi Smit-McPhee) has essentially passed the necessary tests to be considered a man and, as such, is allowed to accompany the other men of the tribe on a hunt. Unfortunately, during the course of the hunt, he is seriously injured and left for dead on the ledge of a steep cliff by his fellow tribesmen. To that effect, when he finally regains consciousness and realizes his predicament, he somehow manages to overcome the pain and descends down the steep cliff--before passing out once again. Upon finally awakening again, he subsequently encounters a pack of wolves and--after badly injuring one of them--manages to escape their attack by scaling a large tree. Several hours later, he climbs down from the tree and, noticing that the wolf he injured is still alive, he takes an enormous gamble by deciding to treat its wounds and nurse it back to health. Sure enough, from that point on, the two become the best of friends and help each other through the extremely difficult times ahead. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was a fairly entertaining film which managed to keep my attention from start-to-finish. Having said that, however, I must also admit there were several scenes which were a rather slow at times--especially towards the end. Likewise, there were a couple of scenes which were a bit too corny as well. Be that as it may, while I don't consider this to be a great film by any means, I think most people will enjoy it, and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
