Not a documentary, just a fun game. I always enjoy getting him injured in new ways & especially watching him eat super gross things. :)

I think You vs Wild from 2019 is better, but I had a lot of fun with this one. Good Work Bear Grylls!

This was fun and amusing but I think they should have just done a second season of you vs wild instead of this. 6/10

This movie is definitely geared towards a younger audience, thus all the bad reviews. My kid loved watching this and the interactive feature really held his attention. It really was a good learning tool and I hope more shows incorporate the interactive options.

Way to fake and staged to enjoy. Its just hard to really enjoy something that is so cringe. I like Bear. Even though I have read he has the reputation of being fake more than most shows like this. And I'm not just referring to the lost animal situations. My kids enjoy it though.

I can't imagine who thought this was a good idea. One of the absolute worst things I have seen in some time. And I'm including YouTube videos and family vacation photo videos as a comparison.

A puffed-up version of Netflix's resident choose-your-own-adventure survival series, in which an electrical shortage has freed several African creatures from their fenced habitat and Bear Grylls throws himself out of a helicopter to save the day. My kids loved the shorter previous episodes and, appealing to my interest in feeding Grylls dung or callously hurling him to his death, talked me into trying the full-sized course this weekend. Lord, it's bad.
I can appreciate that the very idea of a viewer-directed movie is inherently problematic, from both pacing and storytelling perspectives, and I'm willing to cut a little slack in those respects. Even Black Mirror had some trouble adapting their work to fit this quirky brand of uncertainty. Animals on the Loose is just so shallow, so forced and stupid, that I quickly reached my capacity for forgiveness. Clearly, Grylls isn't one of my TV favorites, and the show is thoroughly smeared with his particular style of dubious reasoning and gross-out Fear Factor showboating. He's barely off the chopper when he starts scavenging for food, reasoning that he'll need a protein hit to continue his search for the missing animals. Has he been fasting? That's the immediate priority? Eventually, we're asked to choose between a fistful of plump red berries and a wriggling grub. That's indicative of the sort of quandaries we'll face throughout the story. Our decisions don't really matter in a grand sense or, in cases where we may have been too reckless, merely lead to a short end-of-road acknowledgement before looping back to ask if we'd like to pick another option instead.
The tech is easily confused, too: late in the story, as the whole family labored to stick with it to the end, the system failed to register that we'd already caught a runaway lion and fell into a recursive loop of continuous surprise attacks. We didn't have the strength to start it all over from the beginning. Final analysis: I managed to kill the host twice, but could not feed him any poop.

All the situations seem very staged, but I knew that before I watched it so it wasn´t disappointing. If you want so have some fun for an hour and you want to know if you could make these tricky decisions, you should try it. Additionally, the nature shots are beautiful. So it´s not very realistic or thrilling, but it´s worth a watch.

I can't believe how Netflix granted this! Don't even bother watching it.

Bear Grylls keeps things interesting and i love this type of shows that give me choices. And in general I don't expect every thing to be absolutely real. I just expect to be entertained.
Really poor production as it is inaccurate with regards to the animal behavior, environment etc. But if you want a silly show to watch it's entertaining.

For the people complaining it's staged, how do you make a choose your adventure type program that isn't planned out? Besides, left to his own devices, Bear Grylls would uneventfully find his way to civilisation in about 15 minutes. Like Top Gear or Mythbusters, you need some light scripting to make the entertainment shine, while still being mildly educational.

This is peak entertainment!! I watched this with my almost 19-year old friend, and we both really enjoyed it. We laughed throughout the whole movie. I would suggest watching this with your friends if you want a funny movie to watch. Especially if you are geeked. The scenes are so obviously fake but that makes it even better. Its so fun to analyze how much of the movie really is fake. The protagonist/antagonist (depends on how you look at the situation), plays his role very well and gives us some great advice throughout the movie. Sadly the movie isn't that long but in those approximately 40 minutes there is always something happening.
Yes, it's staged, but of course it is, Bear has to make 2 or 3 different choices, so he does things several times over and I'd hate it if it were real and to see him really put himself in danger. But that doesn't take anything away from the fact that it's interesting, you learn survival tips and how to find your way in the wild, it's entertaining and really cool to be able to test yourself to see if you can find the lest dangerous solution. It's a cross between a video game and a survival course. On top of that, you travel with him through different settings. It's fun to watch and interact with! I've watched them all in this interactive style and I hope there'll be more!
