An intense celebration of the human spirit

Rating: 8/10 (5 February 2011)

Movie is not intended for kids or for the faint hearted.But even if you really don't prefer blood in movie,i suggest you close your eyes for like 10 minutes in between the runtime and still enjoy this amazing movie.
Its a story of a mountaineer who gets stuck between a rock and a cliff and struggles to get free.If the movie had shown just this,it would be just a NatGeo or a discovery channel movie but rather not a blockbuster cinema!
Welcome to the story of a mountain climber Aron Ralston and his excruciating struggle for survival during the five longest days of his life.Aron goes through lots of mental turmoil,thoughts,and guilt during these 127 hours at the same time realizing the important things in his life which he dint care to recognize earlier.The realizations are timed precisely and captured!
The movie is paced in a manner which makes the audience take the role of Aron or any other person in such a situation and gives them the chance to rethink their options and when the audience are at the verge of getting bored with a thought,the movie throws another challenge at them. It certainly does not tax the audience's minds but rather gets them more involved onto the film.
Movie has got brilliant cinematography and excellently paced soundtrack which brings every scene in the movie alive and real.Please stick to cinemas or the least HD home formats while watching the movie for any other medium dampens the manner in which the movie has been delivered. The Movie might not turn out to be an epic and have a cult following but it is,a very brilliantly shot cinema and a celebration of the human spirit which indeed needs to be celebrated! Cheers!
