So we watched Into the Wild, I think it deserves couple of words. Spoilers will be had in this post.
I think it's a movie that provokes reaction. There is a cult following of the whole phenomenon, not just the movie. These people are interested in the book, and the IRL person itself, and they cheer for him, they think he was a great dude and whatnot. The other side also goes beyond the movie, turns to the book, and observes the dude and they claim he was a moron. Was a moron partially because he was unprepared, and partially his political views and philosophy on life. This roots again in the American problems, and divide. The commie hippies and the free market preppers.
And there are those who are jelly of him, who see their own life suck and the lack of will to change that, and they see a satisfaction in his death, makes them feel inaction justified. He did something and see where that took him... It's not like life take us to death eventually... - but again he did not die on his own terms either.
So the movie provokes reaction, because it is mentioned and bunch of people go batshit crazy, doing extreme statements. Especially the haters.

Oh geez, this is going to be more than a couple of words.
So I think the movie is ok. It hops between timeline and it makes a bit harder to piece together some events, but it's not a great bother. I don't find the shots of nature satisfactory. There are no good views on the panorama. But still has some nice scenes.
The story, written by life and flashed out by the writer of the book and the creators of the movie, is good. Not the most exciting - no armwrestling with the bear - but it's a good drama. And probably this is the main selling point of the movie. Besides KStew looking cute.
The main hero is controversial ofc, as I wrote above, and empathizing with him for the viewer will depend on how acceptable he finds his opinions told during the movie. This will make it hard for some people to judge level headed.
All in all, it's a good movie I think, worth a watch.
