I'm amazed: An intelligent hero at least!

Rating: 9/10 (8 August 2012)

The story of the movie is simple, the tempo is slow. A lot of visual poetry, only a few thrills. But the hero is really sympathetic: Even when he did make a mistake at the start, he fought for his life bravely and intelligently. That is very rare among the thrillers where the heroes make usually a train of errors, making bad situation worse.
The movie is beautiful and powerful. The amazing landscape is worth seeing alone, the powerful story about human cunning and will to survive is absolutely great. The part of helping strangers in the end is also amazing and moving. Great movie! The only single error the hero made is at the very beginning when he fails to inform others about his trip. So remember: Always inform someone where are you going and where you are supposed to return. This very simple rule applies not only when you plan to take a hike in the mountains, but also when you go for a family shopping in the supermarket. Always have "the fall-back plan" where you are supposed to meet when things go wrong. It might help you a lot.
