Holy cow, that must have been an expensive movie to shoot! That is a LOT of locations! I don't know if I can go see it - I really don't think McCandless's idiocy is worth the admiration Sean Penn(director) has for him.
I also read Under the Banner of Heaven, and liked it better than Into the Wild. I thought Banner was the best Mormon history Id read (the sections that weren't about the modern day fundie sex case), but I still didn't like it.

When you see the film I hope you'll post your review! I am far more interested in what Alaskans think of this movie than wha film critics think.
