A decent premise with a passable execution. The film seems like it portrays events relatively faithfully but in doing so perhaps neglects narrative drive or meaningful plot development. I think the film would have been a lot tighter if 15-25 minutes of waiting in the snow was skipped over more briefly. The length of time they were trapped was of course a huge part of their miraculous story but i don't think the film did a great job of portraying that on screen. I kept wondering "why doesn't someone go seeking help when they know no one is looking for them?" and i don't think the film adequately addressed that question either in action or dialogue. Character development was negligible with the film noticeably dragging through the middle portion without a compelling reason. Not a film i'll likely remember nor one i'd recommend seeing.
