Too many flashbacks

I can't stand movies with flashbacks. Just show Alaska and the wild. I could give a *beep* about him and his backstory. Just show me a bear and some trees and im good.

Same thing with the other wild movie starring Reese Witherspoon. John Muir would be turning over in his grave with all the backstory nonsense.

Like Matrix, I fight for love.

The flashbacks provide the context for the whole reason Chris was in Alaska. They make up like 85% of his story.
