Review of Alive (1993) by Colin S — 31 Jul 2007
Ag jis, for years this was my favourite movie until Lord of the Rings came along. I watched it three times at the cinema, and 36 times on video (before there were DVDs). Can you say "obsessed"? Indeed I was. Needless to say my VHS tape is warped by now. The crash scene was described as the most realistic ever filmed (and you really had to see this at the cinema to get the full effect). The effects (what little there were as practically everything was filmed on location in the mountains) were fantastic, the emotion was real, and the music by James Newton Howard wrapped it all into a neat little tear-jerking memorable package.
Alright, some may disagree and say that I am off of my head raving about this film, but each to his/her own. If you're gonna go by my reviews then check out my favourite films list. That'll give you an idea of my taste and if yours is similar, you'll most likely enjoy ALIVE.
If you like to read I also recommend "Alive" by Piers Paul Reid, for the true account of what happened during this fateful event.
