Popcorn vs Kernel

5 Popcorns = Must see!
4 Popcorns = You'll probably like it.
3 Popcorns = Go in the morning when there are cheaper ticket prices.
2 Popcorns = Maybe rent it.
1 Popcorn = Wait for a friend to rent it and watch it with them.
Kernel = Don't see it at all. Ever.

The Mountain Between Us (2017)






Directed by: Hany Abu-Assad

Written by: J. Mills Goodloe, Charles Martin (novel), & Chris Weitz

Starring: Idris Elba & Kate Winselt






In an attempt for survival, Alex (Winselt) and Ben (Elba) rely on each other to find other humans that have resources to lead them back home.  While on the mountain, they encounter dangerous terrain and unforeseen obstacles that bring them closer together.

This movie kept me on edge.  I kept wondering what was going to happen throughout the whole film. Were they going to be saved?  Were they going to die?  Who was going to die first?  Would they stay in touch even after they were saved?

Elba and Winselt had great chemistry, but it was the first time that I've seen a sexual relationship that was interracial.  But you could always just see it as two British doing it.  And yes, sorry for the spoiler.

But anyway I really liked it and some trivia: they were actually there in the snow and Kate Winslet actually did fall in the ice.  Crazy stuff.

4 popcorns.
