The Call of the Wild is a 2020 American adventure film based on the Jack London 1903 novel of the same name and on Twentieth Century Pictures' 1935 film adaptation. Directed by Chris Sanders.

Plot
In the late 19-century, Buck is a big-hearted dog whose blissful domestic life gets turned upside down when he is suddenly uprooted from his California home and transplanted to the exotic wilds of the Alaskan Yukon in the 1890s. As the newest rookie on a mail-delivery dog sled team, Buck experiences the adventure of a lifetime as he ultimately finds his true place in the world.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) It's decently faithful to the 1903's book of the same name, but with major changes in 2020's standards.
 * 2) Decent acting, especially for Harrison Ford, and Omar Sy.
 * 3) Likeable characters, especially for John Thornton, he is an outdoorsman and a prospector who lives in the Northland with his two friends, Hans and Pete.
 * 4) The recreation of the 1890's Yukton in the snow is well-made.
 * 5) Pretty good source material.
 * 6) Splendid cinematography by Janusz Kamiński.

Bad Qualities
Do not write the fact that people are angry with the 20th Century Studios logo.
 * 1) The CGI for the animals is uncanny.

Trivia

 * This the first movie to be directed by 20th Century Studios, rather than distributed by 20th Century Fox, however, there was a poster that 20th Century Fox is going to be distributed.
