I cannot tell Uruguayan rugby team players apart "Am I eating Antonio?" "No that's Rico" "But I'm Rico" "You're Benito" etc etc etc I like to think all the good actors were the ones who got sucked out of the plane.

This movie made me glad I'm not Uruguayan, or that I don't play rugby, or that I don't eat people.

An OK drama about survival in extreme conditions. I've personally never understood the huge stigma and guilt associated with cannibalism. If I was freezing and starving after a plane crash on the side of a mountain, you bet your ass I'd tuck in to some of the less fortunate passengers...and I wouldn't feel bad about it at all. I certainly wouldn't judge someone else in the same situation.

Top badass moment? Hero is a hugely overused word, but there’re definitely some in this true story. Sadly, despite this film lasting about 2 hours, no one seem to get enough screen time for me to tell them apart. It’s not a very vegan friendly film either. But the plane crash is good and there’s enough downtime between the bad shit going on for you to think, “bollocks, what would I do?” It’s a good film to watch on the hottest day of the year too. No cats, chainsaws or decapitations

This isn't exactly a bad movie, but it's not a great idea for one. There were plans to make a movie based on this incident back in the late 70's, but Rene Cardona's Mexican exploitation factory got there first, so plans were scrapped. By the time the Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy picked up the idea, 20 years had passed and people's memories of the horror had faded enough for this film to take a surprisingly upbeat and inspirational approach to the material.

I watched the German dub of this. While - based on a few youtube clips I've seen after the fact - I do think the original version feels a lot more natural and atmospheric, structure, dialogue and characters are equally as dumb, chaotic and reduced to melodramatic kitsch. It's just less obvious. Long story short: I probably would've enjoyed the actual movie a lot more, even though it's probably not a better story. We'll see if I ever find out...

It's an OK movie, better than I expected based on everything written about it. But what I really don't understand is the John Malkovich thing. The real guy should have made this opening speech, and if it was impossible it could have been easily skipped. They instead put John Malkovich in it (hoping nobody will notice the difference? such a good actor he is). At least Malkovich was uncredited. But why for heaven's sake is he now credited on every movies website. This is misleading,he is NOT in it

As far as survival stories go, it's pretty unique and enthralling given that there's so many characters, they're in literally the worst possible place to be stranded, and of course, there's the cannibalism aspect that everyone gets fixated on. It's a strong element, but it's not the driving force in this movie. Incredible story!

A moving drama about just trying to stay alive. Do not expect thrilling moments in the sense of the Hollywood action scenes. Still, this is one of the hardest films to watch, and that is because of the high level of realism, not only in graphical depiction, but in actor's play as well. One of the most realistic (if not the most) that are based on a true story.

I thought the book was absolutly amazing however there was too much information in it to cram into an hour and a half film. Alot was left out and some of the characters seemed different or non-existant all together. In all it was a pretty well done film but could have been much better.
