Based on a series of non-fictional event, 127 hours centers on the survival of a mountain climber who is trapped under a boulder for 127 hours. Although most of the movie is situated between a crack in the mountains, the story doesn't get too melodramatic nor uninteresting or predictable. The film cleverly encompasses the challenge the survivor faces and lets the viewer feel these challenges by putting them through the similar experience as Aron's thanks to the astonishing study of his character and his survival process. I also found the movie quiet entertaining, the movie mixes up humor with drama and tense situations, which make the viewing a lot more pleasant. By showing Aron’s flashbacks, disappointments and premonition it really increased the level of sympathy I was holding for him, through his inspiring ambition and desire to live and not accept death he is able to exceed all odds.
