Not a bad film but what's the point

Rating: 2/10 (16 December 2011)

Made around the same time as buried, and clearly a peer in the world of mis en scene but what does this film really bring to the table. My rating is harsh because I can't believe how highly it's been rated, I'm a Danny Boyle fan but as a director he's not really breaking new ground here.
What is the message? Simply the force of human spirit to survive, who cares we've seen it a million times before, someone prevailing against overwhelming odds. I actually felt compelled to write this review simply because I feel like the whole film is just a document of something horrible that happened to someone and yet what did that person, or us as viewers, learn, leave a note when you're going hiking...
How can people be so amazed by such a simple concept, it's not a bad film and it did to a certain extent bring that experience to life but what's the point really? Answers on a postcard.
