Summary: Great movie...
Review: It's one of the best nature films ever made! Brilliant photography by Hiro Narita, great actors and a fulminant story. But it's a real shame that there were no features added. Because there exists a "Making of..." by William Riead he made for TV 1983! With this I would rate with 5 stars.

Summary: One of the best movies out there
Review: This is a wonderful movie with beautiful scenery and great acting. The movie has tense scenes, funny scenes and is extremely well done. Our whole family considers it a favorite and have been checking every so often to see if it is out on DVD--which it is!

Summary: Just the film, beautifully transferred. Bravo, Anchor Bay!
Review: Just received my DVD copy. No extras, no features, just widescreen on one side, pan 'n' scan on the other. (The insert card features a reproduction of the original release one-sheet poster.)I'm amazed at the crystal clear audio. Color quality and detail are excellent. This is the best DVD I've seen, period. Even in extreme zoom, the MPEG detail is great. A little bit of MPEG artifacting can be seen in extremely dark scenes, but using "enhanced" black level may correct for this. A few print defects are visible; they probably encoded this from an extant studio print. In general, this is a great buy. Anchor Bay has lovingly restored this film to its initial release brilliance. Bravo! Unless you're more amused by bells 'n' whistles than the quality of the film, you'll be glad you bought this disc. If you love the film (as I do), you couldn't be more pleased.

Summary: A truely great adventure movie
Review: I am so glad this movie has been re-released. I have been looking for it for years now and couldn't believe my luck when I saw that it was available again. The film has everything! Great photography, good music, action and suspense. The story is still as fresh and relevant today as it was when it was made, maybe even more now with the re-introduction of wolves in several areas.

Summary: Never Pass Up on "Never Cry Wolf"
Review: By far my most favorite movie of all time, this movie is perfect in every way. The DVD version is crisp and with widescreen and full frame on it, I am in heaven. Charles Martin Smith actually resembles me in an earlier year and the poster hangs in my office. This story is so poignant and touching, I am moved each time I watch it, which numbers well over 150 times in my life. The underlying message is that nature is pure in its simple forms away from man and we should not intervene for the sake of progress. Overall, this movie is a classic and belongs on your shelf.

Summary: A beatiful story about man vs. nature!
Review: Never Cry Wolf is movie about man who is supposed go study wolves in the wilds of Alaska. The story deals with the trials he must trying to live in the wild. Eventually he discovers he must protect the wolves and stop man from hunting them! one of the best parts is when he is sunbathing and a whole herd of animals wakes him up! The only problems with the DVD is NO Captions,NO trailers,or production notes, also where his commentary from the stars and director?

Summary: Magnificent filmmaking
Review: Simply one of the best films ever made -- a touching and spiritual commune with nature featuring some of the most breathtaking scenery ever committed to film. Low-profile director Carroll Ballard has an uncanny gift for telling a story usually involving the interaction of humans and nature. It's surprising that -- given the more adult nature of this film -- Disney was behind it. It still works as a terrific family film for older children and teens. Aside from the awe-inspiring scenery, part of what makes the film so captivating is Mark Isham's brilliant and sublime music score -- it will move you to tears at times. Charles Martin Smith puts in one of his greatest performances; his narration is touching and humble. Kudos to the Inuit actors as well, who are totally convincing playing themselves without even the slightest hint of forced acting or dialogue. This is a film that will burn in your memory for life, capturing man's inexorable link with nature like few films can.

Summary: Please utilize captions with excellent movies.
Review: I deeply appreciate the use of widescreen for presenting movies. A drawback in this DVD is that there are no subtitles, which some of us value greatly. This particular film, Never Cry Wolf, cries out for the kind of attention to background and details in which the Criterion Collections excel, owing to the film's depiction of a climatological strangeness to those living in more temperate climes. It is, of course, a grand trip attempting to identify with personages depicted in this film.

Summary: Read the Book for a Better Experience
Review: Sure, this movie had some fairly decent acting and I agree that the scenery is absolutely breathtaking. But, and this is my pet peeve... they were not loyal to Farley Mowat's book! He actually learned to love the wolves more than his fellow humans and the book had humorous nuances that were completely lost in the movie. See the movie for a beautiful picture piece but read the book for a humorous and moving experience.

Summary: Spiritual Film
Review: I agree with all the previous reviews. I saw this film back in the mid 80's and it has stuck with me all this time. I just received the widescreen version and am again blown away by this film. The storyline, cinematography, and score are all superb. There is a soulful, melancholy feel to this movie that is haunting. I especially love it when he is playing soulful (or should I say spiritual) sounds on a cliff's edge with the grey skies and mist all about and the responding howls of the wolves reflecting the essential link of man and nature. Highly recommended!
