Doesn't have a great affect if you already know the ending, but still enjoyable

Rating: 7/10 (20 March 2011)

The fact that almost everyone knows the outcome and events that are going to occur before watching the movie takes away a lot of the suspense and emotions that one would normally feel towards the film. Since we all know the story of Aron Ralston, the movie just seemed like a really good reenactment of the situation. However, if you don't already know the story then the movie would be great. I still believe it was a good movie and a powerful one as well. James Franco was great and it surprisingly did not get boring considering the movie consisted of one main character and setting. Overall, it was good while it lasted but didn't stick with me and have the same affect as it would if i did not know everything that was going to happen.
