Movie Review: The Mountain Between Us (2017)
The movie tells the tale of two plane crash survivors. Both protagonists come from very different walks of life. What I didn’t like about this movie was the fact that it basically began with the plane crash. The protagonists weren’t properly introduced which meant that we only ever got to see them in “extreme situations” (post-crash scenario). It’s really difficult to review this movie because it’s technically only exploring a single theme. So in order to avoid spoiling it I’ll just refrain from divulging it. But I will say this much; the movie is suffering from a lot of cliche’s. You’ll see what I mean.
I personally thought that the movie was a little bit too boring. It suffered from the same boring aspects as “The Revenant” (which I also didn’t like at all). Now, there are movies which are shot in desolate and snowy areas which still managed to be interesting because they got it right. Movies like “Wind River” e.g..
Final Verdict: wouldn’t recommend (too slow and predictable)
