mvie mu-1042538: A Simple Yet Worthwhile Telling of This Story

Sat, 19 Aug 2000 14:16:09 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rjmd2000 - The movie Alive isn't glamorous, it isn't full of wild and suspenseful scenes, and it doesn't boast a star-filled cast. What it does offer is a very realistic view of the tragic events that transpired during a routine flight and of the courage, sorrow...

mvie mu-1042538: Now I only fly with fat people!

Sat, 5 Aug 2000 20:16:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jeffs320 - I figure no one would want to hit me in the head with a rock to eat me, cause I am only 5'8" and 150 lbs, so there isn't a whole lot of meat on my bones! So I like to make sure there are fat people on every plane I am on, just in case!

Fri, 3 Mar 2000 12:31:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author evanfury - I'll be the first to admit that I like movies that pit man "against the odds". It's always entertaining to see how strong the will of man can be. When I rented this movie, I had heard all my friends laugh about the fact that the people in...

mvie mu-1042538: What Would You Do?

Tue, 29 Feb 2000 18:08:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author xerxes63 - What a shame that a movie of this calibur didn't receive the hype that it so richly deserves. This movie deals only in human emotion; self- pity, fear, panic, heroism. No movie can fail when dealing in raw, human emotion, unless of course you are...

mvie mu-1042538: The best "True Story" movie out!!

Fri, 25 Feb 2000 20:10:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author leegarson - This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. From start to finish, Alive grips and holds you in a way any other movie can't. The in-depth scene of the plane crash, the avalanche, and the climb are breath-taking in their own reality.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gjacks - Would you be willing to eat your dead friend in order to keep yourself alive? It would be one tough decision, but if that's what it took, I guess I could do it.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author millymac - Besides being a terrific action/adventure movie with the most heart-stopping plane crash scene I have ever witnessed, "Alive" is, to me, that rare film that portrays faith in God in a positive light. I was very glad that when the story made the...

Fri, 14 Jan 2000 05:53:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Baezplace - This movie was one that probably made my fear of flying a reality, come to think of it. It is a movie about a soccer team<and some family members> flying together when a terrible accident occurs, they fly into a mountain top! It deals with their...

Sun, 19 Sep 1999 14:48:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BrianKoller - "Alive" is one of the best disaster films ever made. This may be because it is based on a true story, thus avoiding the usual disaster formula of presenting us with dubious (but demographically diverse) characters and unrealistic heroes...
