Survive

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.

Acting was good but the script really sucked. Stupid from beginning to end. I had to watch it just to validate how truly bad this movie was lol. No mention of food, water or any obvious survival strategies. Just off-the-wall stupid. Someone else had mentioned they needed to get to the crash earlier and I agree, although after the crash the film deteriorated quickly. In all fairness there were some good moments but not enough to validate more than a two star rating. I don't want to drag out this review but it's requiring at least another 160 characters lol. So I will say once again this was a waste of the talented actors in this film. A lot of these survival type films are pretty stupid to begin with and this one certainly fits the pattern.

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.
