Wolf Totem | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

The greatest aspect of "Wolf Totem" is the gorgeous, sweeping cinematography that captures the landscape in breathtaking aerial shots and crystal-clear color. The story has its touching moments but dissolves into disjointed melodrama.

The four-legged creatures are more compelling than their two-legged counterparts in this visually stunning 3D adventure.

Annaud and company make a bold environmental statement cloaked in a personal story of one young man's personal growth, change and awareness.

Though Wolf Totem is notable for being a Chinese-scripted-and-shot film that actually offers some kind of critique of the communists, it nevertheless falls into a fairly well-worn story of an outsider growing to appreciate a culture he's come to change.

Presented in IMAX 3D, there are scenes in this film that are literally breathtaking when they are not capturing or breaking the heart.
