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.

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!

From an adult's perspective, owning a light aircraft may seem like something only wealthy people do. But for kids, they may not understand the value of this kind of experience. Starting from being strangers, teenagers don't perceive adults from the perspective of wealth and looks. Teenagers have their own perceptions, and respect is earned through actions. In the first half of this movie, to be honest, I found teenagers hard to please. However, it's in the middle of the film, during the hardships, that Jason never uttered a harsh word and consistently acted as a role model, overcoming challenges related to food, water, and animals. Going through these experiences together with children and ending up hand in hand, cherishing everyone's safety, is a valuable lesson. For parents still struggling with teenagers at home, consider signing up for a camping trip or joining the same team in a competition. Turn opponents into teammates, strengthen your bond, and I wish you the best.

Jason (Lucas Black) is flying his girlfriend Noelle's two kids Sam (Kyleigh Bakker) and Ben (Roman Engel) to their grandparents' cabin. They have a bird strike and forced to land in the middle of the woods.

Kids are the worst. There is a life-and-death wilderness situation and the girl is all about the family melodrama. They leave the relative safety of the plane. I certainly understand him going to the ranger's cabin by himself. Of course, kids are the worst and they can't take care of themselves for a few days. The little one is even worst. "I got bored." Really? Almost every problem except the bird strike can be traced back to the kids. They burn down the cabin. They wreck the ATV. They keep almost getting themselves killed. Kids are the worst. Aside from that, this may be a Christian film. It's the undertone without being too preachy.

I really wanted to give this movie a 4. The lead guy's acting was pretty good. The storyline has great potential. It's the kid dynamic that ruins things. Lucas is humble and trusting God. The kids are disrespectful, selfish and unruly. He should think about marrying a widow who does not know how to parent. Obviously the mom is not Christian. Her kids have no clue about the Bible or faith. The message seems to be that it's ok to be nasty, disobedient and arrogant kids - because they lost a dad.........so WRONG! The Director wanted to show team work but the boy acts like he knows better than the adult. So annoying! All the wilderness problems are because of the kids. The story is supposed to be about Luke's journey, going deeper with God and accepting himself...... but the kids are a distraction. There is no significant moment the kids experience true remorse for actions. Recognize the impact of their selfish actions on others. Take responsibility for their actions. Inquire about God. No growth from the kids other than accepting Lucas as a new daddy. The movie would have been better (more realistic) without the kids and Luke fighting the wilderness alone. I don't think I would recommend this movie - sorry!
