127 Hours (2010)

An outdoor enthusiast gets trapped in by a boulder while climbing in the canyons in Utah. There is not a sole around and very little hope that anyone will be coming soon to rescue him. Luckily he is intelligent and was equipped with the gear needed to give him some hope of survival while stuck there. Over time the mind beings to wonder and play tricks on you. What is real and what is not? What would you resort to in order to stay alive and get out of there?

This was an amazing storyline. Being based on true story makes it even more remarkable. It is so fascinating to see that someone’s will to live is so strong that they could get through something so difficult in life.

When my husband and I watched this movie, my husband was not sure what it was about. Once he learned that it was about a guy stuck in a cave for 127 hours he wanted to stop watching. His thought, like many out there, was “boring” He was wrong and we are both glad that we decided to watch it the whole way through.

The movie could have been very slow and boring but it was the complete opposite. While stuck in the cave James Franco’s charter began to think about this life and flash back to places and people in his life. He also had a few hallucinations which added to the excitement of movie.

This movie has it all; it was funny, suspenseful, heartwarming, and even gross at times. I had to look away during one scene. I would recommend this movie. It is a must-see in my book.
