I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Blistering performances.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

In order to find any merit in this series, one has to buy into the premise of a multi-millionaire clan living off the grid in a survival existence. Never mind that they are only a few miles from Homer, Alaska and all its modern conveniences. This comes in handy when major injuries due to being drunk and falling off a cliff, need hospitalization, a baby has to be delivered or a hernia has to be repaired.As with all "reality tv," every episode is the creation of the production team...written in Hollywood before they leave for Alaska. Script titles should read "Otto Goes to the Outhouse," "Atz Lee Has Another PTSD Attack," "Jane Pouts Again."Central to this and other such shows, is the producers' belief that viewers are stupid. That they will buy into all the nonsense. I guess given the popularity, they are right.

Have watched Alaska The Last Frontier since the first season. All of the family members contribute something of value to the show except Jane and yet every year she gets more and more airtime - WHY? She tries to be so smart, funny, and accomplished in everything she does but she is none of those things. She can't hunt or fish and is just a clutz no matter what she has been assigned to do. If you continue to highlight her as the "star" of the show we will not be able to continue watching this series. This opinion is shared by all of our friends and relatives who we've talked to.

Love parts of the show but the alpha-male driven Atz (who drives the show's direction) is an egomaniac. His insistence on promoting his self-centered son, Atz Lee - who spent half his life away but came back to be on the show (and is a moron) weakens the production. Add his wife Jane and I sometimes change the channel. Read their history and watch the first few years when Atz Lee arrived and see the 'transformation' folks. Many of the rest of the family are wonderful. Otto and his clan are great, unpretentious, and intelligent. Eiven and Eve are salt of the earth and just a joy to watch and listen to... solid people. Charlotte is a sweetie. Bonnie (Atz's wife) is a sweetie and it is obvious she just watches the two alpha's and keeps quiet. Ironically Atz Lee's brother (Nikos and Shane) appear well rounded, intelligent and down to earth... suggest they feature them and cut the stupid son...

I'm pretty sure the cameras are encouraging these people to slaughter an animal for just about any reason they can invent. It's all for maintaining the illusion that its about 'survival'. They are making the conscious choice to raise cows within the territory of several major predators, and we are supposed to believe that they are 'oh so reluctant' to kill bears and wolfs on a regular basis? I'm pretty sure they're getting off on it. Unfortunately, my boyfriend likes this show... Honestly , I really think that the producers of this show should consider the possibility that the situation they are creating is encouraging an excess of animal killing- all for the sake of perverse entertainment.
