This is a movie only a city-dweller who's never seen anything wilder than pigeons and squirrels would believe.
First, I've hiked into the Grand Canyon twice and it's by far the safest park I've ever been in. Practically the only thing there that could hurt you is your own carelessness. Most of the animals are so used to humans that they're more likely to pester you for handouts (which you shouldn't give them) than to attack you.
Second, I'm so tired of wolves and coyotes being portrayed as savage man-eaters. There's never been a documented case of a human being attacked by either in a normal encounter, i.e. the animal wasn't injured, rabid, etc. They're far too wary of humans to try it, so you'd be lucky to even see one in the wild. (If you do, just be quiet and non-threatening, and take as many photos as you can before it runs off in a panic.)
Finally, some of the scenes were NOT filmed at the GC, they were filmed at the Narrows in Utah. Which is normal for films, just do your research first if watching this movie made you want to come see the GC for yourself. Both canyons are definitely worth visiting, just be aware they're a few hundred miles apart.
