Chris Sanders is a Good Boy
The Call of The Wild is a solid, incredibly well made movie. Buck is an extremely likeable protagonist who goes on a compelling journey of self discovery. Despite being a dog and not having a word of dialogue, Buck is an incredibly interesting, three dimensional character with a well developed arc. The CGI used to bring him to life is amazing. While it doesn't always look natural, Buck's CGI model is so expressive and can cause the viewer to experience a variety of different emotions, despite not even being there. Harrison Ford also does well as the elderly, depressed John Thornton, carrying a great deal of tragedy and mystery about his past throughout the movie. The movie also features stunning cinematography, with several beautiful shots and camera angles. It's a true joy to look at. However, there are a few problems with the movie. For starters, John Thornton narrates a lot throughout the movie, despite not being present for, and therefore having no way of knowing about, the events that he's describing. Another issue is Dan Stevens' character; Hal. Hal is an entirely unnecessary, one dimensional antagonist, who just doesn't work with the story this movie is trying to tell. His presence also completely derails John Thornton's resolution. However, despite these problems, I still recommend The Call Of The Wild. It's a fantastic movie, with an incredible protagonist and stunningly beautiful visuals that you shouldn't miss.

You’ve seen The Call of the Wild in theaters, and now you want to watch it at home. Where will you be able to stream The Call of the Wild for free?
You’ve had the chance to watch it in theaters. The Call of the Wild is one of those movies you know you want to watch at home. Now you need to figure out how that will be possible when it comes to streaming platforms. Where will The Call of the Wild with Harrison Ford stream for free?
As a 20th Century Fox movie, it’s more than likely going to be made available for streaming on HBO Now. That will also mean it will come to HBO Max when the new platform is released.
This is despite the production studio being owned by Disney, now. The Call of the Wild may be considered too adult for Disney Plus, and it’s not clear if the original deal with HBO has come to an end yet. I don’t think that it has.
You’ll want to have HBO in six to nine months’ time. That’s how long it usually takes for the movies to head to the streaming platform. However, sometimes it can take 12 months.
The Call of the Wild is a beautiful tale of a dog who finds himself going from his California home to the life of a Yukon sled dog. Based on the 1903 novel of the same name by Jack London, Buck finds himself on a new adventure. He takes each day as it comes, learning to love his new life and finding his place in the world.
It has received mixed reviews when it comes to the critics, landing a 61% score on Rotten Tomatoes. However, audiences love it, giving it a 90% score.
