Too much of everything

So much average

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

OMG whomever funded this movie wasted their money. This was pianful at its best. Josh Hartnet gets reviewed for his acting?!?! but i spent the entire movie barracking for Nature to take him oput and make it painful.

This is one of those movies which teaches you a lesson: never take life for granted. Athletes and people who love outdoor activities will love this movie because what happened to Eric could happen to any of us. You may say that Eric was a bit arrogant in overestimating himself but we all do it. There are very few movies out there which actually make you understand how important and precious life is: this is one of them. Excellent acting by the protagonist and his mother in particular, good music and breathtaking scenery.

This is an amazing survival movie, about love, family and perseverance.When I saw an IMDb score of 5,7, I was a bit hesitant about watching it, but this is one of those few movies where the score is completely wrong.It's inspiring, with some great life lessons. It's about overcoming all obstacles. It's about family and love. It's about being imperfect and human. It's about life. Go see it.

This film tells the story of a drug addicted man who goes to a mountain cabin to stay away from drugs. He goes snowboarding, but he soon gets lost in the mountains and have no way to get help. He has to fight for survival.The story is built very slowly, and there are many occasions when I wonder why he does what he does in the film. I don't know snowy mountains at all, but I would have imagined that there can be better decisions and actions than he exhibits. For example, going off the designated paths is not something I would do. Reaching for the bag of drugs after falling into icy water is probably not a good idea. Snowboarding down the slopes after knowing that you are lost seem unwise as well. I don't know if it is possible to backtrack on himself, or at least go to higher grounds to check for the presence of any buildings. The weather in the first few days were good, so he could have gone upwards for help, my logic tells me. Given all these questions and plot points that defy my logic, it is hard to get into the film because I feel exasperated.The fight for survival is not particularly engaging, as there is little to captivate viewers, and little suspense to drive the film. Though it is exhilarating to see the satisfying ending, the process to the climax does not capture me.
