Legacy Peak

I wanted to like this movie. There are far too few movies today which are clean and innocent. Far too few films with a redeeming message.

But this movie was just bad. The main guy was trying way too hard. The kids' personalities were completely back and forth. There was no natural progression in how the daughter's attitude changed. The main villain being a pack of wolves was just laughable. And the Grampa at the end, what a random personality he had. I felt like this movie was made by a youth group and rushed before they had to go home from camp.

This is the film that made me realize it's past time to cancel the pureflix account. I wanted to like this movie.

Faith-based movies do not get the respect they deserve. Given the current state of civilization, we could do with more of them. A lot more. Tracked down this one to see the performance of Lucas Black. Black as a child actor was one of the best things in the classic TV series American Gothic. He stole every scene he was in, and read each line of dialog like his career depended on it. Which, arguably, it did. Here he is merely adequate as a father figure trying to connect with kids. The script wobbles. A lot. Runs the gamut from forgettable cliches to legitimate zingers. ("The cabin has electricity and running water." "So does a thunder cloud, but you wouldn't want to live in one!") In its class, Legacy Peak is above average, guaranteed to please its target audience. And the "survival" portion will hold interest for the broader audience. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."

I really enjoyed watching Legacy Peak. Not only is it a movie of fighting for survival, it is so much more. It is a beautiful story of learning that everyone has a painful past that they need to overcome and not letting it define you. It, also, shows the power of forgiveness, redemption and faith. I liked taking this adventure through the wilderness with Ben, Sam and Jason. I was on the edge of my seat wanting to find out if and how they would survive. I thought it was great to watch with the element of faith.

I am giving Legacy Peak a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for families of all ages.

I received an early screen link of Legacy Peak from Pure Flix, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.

I love seeing awesome actors like Lucas Black in really, truly, GOOD movies about GOOD things!! Especially movies that have been done really well!

There are a lot of great things about this movie, not the least of which is: the ultimate reality of blended families, aviation, wilderness survival, life lessons, the necessity of high quality parenthood, great cinematography, movies about fatherhood (or lack thereof), and many others.

It's just a great story! I plan to buy it on blu-ray as soon as it comes out!!! I want this one in my collection - digital and physical. I hope that the writers, actors, producers, and directors keep making more good stuff like this. THIS is an essential component of human existence - movies/stories/myths/examples of what GOOD is.... especially in an imperfect, cynical, apathetic, corrupt, and fallen world.

Beautiful scenery. Wish I knew where they filmed it.

Okay not a great movie but entertaining and a good plot. Some complained about the girls fluctuating attitude. The TEENAGE GIRLS attitude. Need I say more. Basically a human interest story with sound Christian philosophy mixed with action, adventure, and danger. This movie would make me want a Pure Flix subscription if I didn't already have one.

I had subscribed to Pure Flix previously and couldn't find content to keep my interest. I don't know what they have done but Pure Flix has really stepped up their game.

If you're tired of all the ugly tv shows available this is a breath of fresh air.

Bravo Pure Flix!
