Reply #10: I think I'll enjoy the film, but have reservations about it.

I'm afraid it will lure too many people up there to "find" themselves and in the process ruin themselves and the wilderness. Most people don't know that mountaineers make a couple trips up Mt. Everest ever year just to carry off the trash left by amateur adventurers. ABC News profiled one yahoo the other night and he looked like he was just one hangover away from his last frat kegger.

Whenever wildlife and humans meet, wildlife always loses, no matter how benign the intentions of humans.

Humans are the most domesticated animal on earth, regardless of their yearnings. If I wrote a story about a pomeranian getting back to his roots by joining a wolf pack, most people would expect either something very funny or very tragic, but not fulfilling. I even wonder if Chris McCandless had any reservations before delirium took over his mind.

The Denali wilderness isn't Disneyland... Perhaps people should stick to guided tours of national parks.

OK, I'll stop preaching now...
