Three films step into the wild and reveal how spectacle, myth, and morality reshape “man vs. nature.” We laugh through Anaconda, revere The Revenant, and wrestle with The Edge, then lock in scores that show where craft and theme truly land.

• accidental comedy value in Anaconda and why it still entertains
• representation and seeing Ice Cube in a mainstream jungle adventure
• CGI weight, POV choices, and ADR misses in Anaconda
• Voight’s camp villainy vs J‑Lo’s underwritten lead
• The Revenant as modern Western myth, nature as a spiritual force
• DiCaprio’s endurance and Hardy’s menace anchoring the arc
• long takes, focus pulling, and contrast imagery as visual grammar
• immersive natural sound, subtle gripes on foley and subtitles
• The Edge’s tight survival set‑pieces vs uneven third act
• class notes, over‑foreshadowing, and a morality play that wobbles
• final rubric scores and letter grades for all three films
