James Franco makes it ALIVE.

Rating: 6/10 (8 January 2011)

127 Hours is the latest movie by Danny Boyle (Known for 28 days later, Slummdog Millionaire, Trainspotting, and Sunshine) which delivers fine content. The movie is based on a true story of Aron Ralston who was stuck in rocks for more than 5 days. The story is very fine and editing, cinematography (actual), and Performance by James Franco is excellent and must be given accolades. James Franco has always delivered fine performances in all of his films I have seen.
The movie is far from perfection. The direction(which is fine), screenplay and camera handling (OMG what were they thinking? Cloverfeild 2? No offense to anyone but I found that decreasing the quality of the movie, IMO this is the worst flaw of the movie) is not the strongest parts of the movie. Screenplay tries to make intense scenes emotional but fails. Music by Oscar winner AR Rehman is sweet to hear BUT it doesn't actually suits the movie at many sequences, therefore I would not be surprised if it doesn't get Oscar Nomination for Original Score. Screenplay, Simon Beaufy who won Oscar for Slummdog Millionaire again gives a mediocre screenplay (still better than Slummdog Millionaire's Screenplay).
Overall, The movie is fine and I don't think that it will get Best Picture Oscar Nomination nor the Best director, Original Score or screenplay Nods.
Editing, James Franco are 2 things which IMO will get nominations out of which, James Franco really deserves that.
I am gonna rate it 7 out of 10. Interesting true story but flawed due to major contents. we all have seen and Loved "Into The Wild" which is also a true story but a far better movie.
