A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

90 minutes of my life wasted watching this crap. I know it is based on a true story but why they made a film about it i will never know. zzzzzzz
Miracles Happen
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.

*** May contain spoilers, proceed at your own risk ***I'm part of the 95% of the world population who is not a resident of the USA and I found this film insulting. A drug user, adrenaline junkie who chooses risk before discipline, a social derelict takes himself to the brink of death in chase of an adrenaline rush. Undoubtedly, the central character is a strong and able man, but he's also irresponsible. In every other place but pampered "America" the guy should be maggot food. Lacking basic survival equipment --a good jacket with a hood, a basic magnetic $10 compass, a disposable gas lighter or flint striker, an emergency small backpack (costing probably $10) with a modicum of survival elements like a space blanket, a few energy bars and a $20 rescue kit- plainly qualifies as stupidity. Darwin's Law applies. Being rescued by a million dollar helo, factual or not, insults the rest of the world who would never have the chance to expect that. Consequences: Fair cost to irresponsibility.

you will be able to tell soon enough that this true story has a good ending if you know nothing about the main character and it is worth watching. i recommend it for the reasons of the choices he made that saved his life and the love of his mother that did not give up and as well as he did not give up with all the way to his last conscious moment. sometimes when we accept our life choice, we forgive ourselves and make peace, the miracle happens.
