I thought that it achieved its goals, more or less. What didn't you like?

I felt that the bear's story was the most compelling part and the film might have benefited from making her the protagonist.

@Kunlun Would've been (a lot) shorter. Not a bad thing.

At a certain point I wasn't sure if I was watching a drama or the latest Captain America movie.

Isn't the bear one of the new Russian Avenger knock-offs?

Like @Merrick, it was such a confused movie. I think the movie really lost what was best about it (besides the cinematography) when the son died. At that point, the movie became very confused... trying to blend drama, a kind of horror movie which tries up to the nasty of the previous nasty scene, and action/adventure.

It would have been a great Indiana Jones. Or continue in the direction it started, a great The Road. But at the end of the day... a genre-blending attempt that left me hollow. Awesome to watch... tough to feel. Tom Hardy was fantastic in it though. And more bears would have been good, too.
