Survive

I survived watching it...but none of the characters really deserved too.... Not really an enjoyable story to watch. They've tried to paste a backstory onto it which doesn't fit the movie, the acting is pretty awful, and the characters make the stupidest errors every step along the way. The sentimental emotional story is probably not what fans of this genre of movie are really after. They could have invested that effort into a more engrossing and exciting survival experience. Both the cringe factor and the smh factor are high with this one I'm afraid. Scenery was OK and some effects were decent enough though.

Confession - I'm only halfway through this movie but my eyes hurt from rolling them so hard. I genuinely wonder how this movie was funded and made because, in what world would a commercial flight leaving from one state in the US, going to another state in the US go down and the NTSB doesn't immediately jump into action. If a plane goes down, they look at where the plane lost contact and they swarm the area. I don't know whose decision it was to be so lazy as to not even bother explain the reason that they're only hope was to trek out of the snow-covered treacherous mountains because they were so alone that it might takes "weeks, or months, or never" for them to be found. Seriously?! Did you advertise this movie in smoke shops? What was the target audience that they thought wouldn't notice that this scenario is beyond implausible?

What a dump! Everything that could go wrong with this did happen.

What child wrote and directed this? These two mains had no connection at all! It's all make believe in the shallowest way... they are just 'stuck together' to fill a narrative.

All the injuries and frostbite are completely imagined and the Wolves!

Wolves do not attack humans! There have been between 2-6 attacks on humans in the USA since 1883 and 1 has been a rabid wolf and the other made up or a cornered wolf. Wolfs are afraid of human beings and just like this review of this movie, do everything to avoid contact with the source..

The film begins with what seems like a psychological thriller where the psyche of the nail character is explored. After the plane crash, which was done very poorly, the whole story turns into a very unplanned story of survival. In this part, both characters are shown doing things that are unimaginable in reality, contrary to what the whole purpose of survival should be (the jump from the cliff to the tree was so so so cheap and amateur).

Overall, it may be entertaining to watch but not much else.

Watching this movie all I could think about was rewatching The Mountain Between Us. Much better actors, better story, better everything. I love the queen of the North but this script didn't do her justice. Don't try to make a movie which had already been made better, it couldn't stand to either The Mountain Between Us or The Grey. Good luck choosing better scripts from now on.

And by the way the beginning was dumb and so were those deep reflection sequences. Also no real chemistry between them unlike Idris and Kate, now those two I loved. It did have some awesome views which is why it got 3 stars.
