NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

cricketbat 127 Hours is Aron Ralston's amazing story, told beautifully by Danny Boyle. James Franco gives a very believable performance as Ralston and it's hard not to get caught up in it all. This high-quality film is upbeat and uplifting, despite the grim subject matter. Well done, Mr. Boyle.

jamesjustice-68209 This otherwise good movie is painful to watch. I liked the hallucination scenes the most and I know they were supposed to show us all that was going on in a trapped person's mind but it's so darn long. Only 90 minutes of runtime but the movie itself feels like eternity. Never liked Danny Boyle and I guess I never will. But James Franco has got that magical delight about him I want to believe and taking in consideration the story is as true as can be makes it so amazing to watch. But just once.

kalle02 Spoiler warningWith a lot of good reviews on this site and Metacritic you would surely expect a really good film. I thought i would love this since i really liked Castaway and other Boyle's films like Slumdog Millionaire (which i gave a 10/10)Never heard of Aron Ralston before but the ending is predictable, i knew what will happen from the moment he picked up the knife. They present Aron Ralston to an unlikable character at least to me.As positives the struggles of Aron are presented realistically (a bit exaggerated obviously) The best scenes are the hallucination scenes like the one where it shows his route to his car with a bottle of Gatorade.

mistoppi 127 Hours is an interesting movie because its strengths can also be its weaknesses. It's slow, not much happens and it is weirdly surreal. It depends on the audience how it's received. I actually thought this movie would rely more heavily on flashbacks than the actual situation the main character is in. It's better this way. While the cinematography and soundtrack are amazing, this movie still feels a bit weird because of how slow it is. It's very thrilling, very agonising, and it's pace makes it even worse - which makes it of course better.
