The first trailer I saw for The Grey showed Liam Neeson fighting wolves and I thought “Oh man, the character from Taken has moved to Alaska” and I had very little interest in watching it. In fact, I actually wrote a post about how little I cared for it and didn’t really give it a second thought.

That was until I started hearing some pretty positive things about it from @Sakura_59 and @PopcornJunkies and so decided to add it to my To Watch List. I am very very glad that I went to the movies and watched it last night.

Liam Neeson is back.

Trying to survive in the wilderness and not be eaten by wolves in the new film The Grey. I should be interested then, right? But alas, the trailer did nothing for me.

It looks a little bit like Alive mixed together with a bit of Lost thrown in and for some reason whenever I saw the wolves surrounding him and baring their teeth all I could think of was The Neverending Story.

Not exactly for me, but have a look and let me know if you’re keen.

Liam, when you’re back in the business of killing off half of Europe in Taken 2, let me know…I’ll sing the praises of that for sure!

The Grey is released in Australia on February 16th.
