Survive

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..

Jane (Sophie Turner) is suicidal and leaving treatment despite still spiraling out of control. Her plane crashes in the freezing mountains. She and fellow passenger Paul Hart (Corey Hawkins) are the only survivors.

The movie needs to get to the plane crash sooner. The treatment center opening section is unnecessary and unnecessarily artsy. All that can be revealed later with flashbacks and conversations. When she actually reveals her story, it's underwhelming. The opening is not adding much anyways. Her freak-out at the airport is more informative and more compelling. The plane crash could be better. It would be more logical if the plane crash happens when they are sitting side by side at the back of the plane. The logic is so false that I do wonder if he's a ghost. There is a lot that could be better. Their survival skills are trash although she has one great excuse. One would expect her character to be annoying but he's the annoying one. The locations are cool as long as they use the real locations. There is plenty of survival action but they are generally not filmed well. I don't know much about Mark Pellington but he doesn't seem to be a big action guy. This probably needs to be an action-packed survival film and they definitely need to get rid of the L word. They struggle to get that central premise through and that is what ultimately sinks this movie. I don't buy their connection and the L feels forced.

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.

This movie was absolute nonsense. While the visuals were quite stunning, and the acting was good, but significantly melodramatic; the writing and directing was absolutely baffling. It may have made more sense when it was a 12 part mini-series but the idea of sitting through 12 hours when I was already bored out of my mind by a 2 hour movie was simply torturous.

The logical holes in this movie were egregious also. If they had just stayed put when the plane crashed they would have been fine. I guess that wouldnt have made much of a movie, but the decision defied logic. The whole movie seemed like it was rushing itself and I kept asking myself why are they in such a hurry. Movie gotta movie, I guess.
