If your not familiar with the story line you must read this before you read any further. I finally got a chance to watch this movie the other night. I'm very happy that I did because it was probably the best account of a real life event I've ever seen in a movie. It's also made me rethink some of my hiking plans and processes in the near future.This movie is really brought to you by two people. The Director (Danny Boyle) and the Actor that portrays Aaron Ralston (James Franco). These two make for a physically emotional account of this real life situation. Its amazing really, but its also a movie you only need to watch once. The music and sound are pretty dramatic as well. It will all have you on the edge of your seat at about 1:18:30 into the movie.
When it was over I was practically speechless even though I know in my mind this was a "fictional" account of a real life event. I had cold sweats during the amputation scene and actually had to take a break. This is a first for any real or fictional video I've ever seen.
So If your an outdoors type person I recommend you see this. Think of it as a reminder of how to prepare if your going off the grid. Make sure you call mom, tell people where your going and when you'll be back.
One thing that was a little odd. The movie time is 1h and 34 minutes. Why not make it 1h and 27 minutes?
