Thoughts on Alive (1993)

[gilligan fanatic]

I read an article about the real life stuggle at Wikipedia that the story is based on. I find it very interesting. I am going to get the book that the movie is written from. At the IMDB I saw very mixed reviews on it. Some where saying it was the best movie ever and others were saying that it was the worse. I haven't seen it yet I will wait until I get the book but what do you all think of it?

Hmm... It's been a while since I've seen the film. It's okay, as I recall. The book is much, much better. I read it before I saw the film. Perhaps because I was aware of the story the film seemed better to me. Films, of course, are limited by time constraints. This story cannot be fully explored in a two hour (or whatever its length) movie. I've read the book several times. Hmm... (again)... Maybe I'll dig it out and read it again. :crazy:
