L'appel de la forêt

Mais le film n'est pas pour autant dénué d'âme et d'intelligence, et parvient à émouvoir sincèrement, grâce à ses personnages attachants, campés avec conviction.

Harrison Ford semble s'ennuyer de Chewbacca et Omar Sy ne convaincra personne en Canadien français.

Buck demeure la vedette indéniable du film, parvenant régulièrement à faire partager ses émotions.

That is the theme that has made this an enduring story for more than a century.

The book is about the conflict between man and nature; the movie is about trying, and failing, to make a computer-animated dog look natural.

The Jack London novel gets a semi-CG 1960s-nature-film makeover, and that's more fakery than it needed. But Harrison Ford rescues the journey.

New version of Jack London's classic man-meets-dog adventure digitizes its canine hero--and loses something vital in the process.

(...) the film certainly moves briskly enough, and it looks terrific, thanks to the handsome cinematography by two-time Oscar-winner Janusz Kaminski.

I don't know if that's enough to propel the box office, but it's certainly reason enough to make this old tale worth revisiting. 

There's never a moment in which you might mistake Buck for a real dog, as he always looks slightly off - although, for the most part the CGI is good enough to function.
