When I watched this movie I was drawn in from the very beginning. You feel like you are there with Aron (James Franco) and you go through his struggles with him (well I did anyways). I'm not a very emotional person especially with movies and after Aron walks out of that canyon I just felt so many emotions. Happy, sad, relief, joy..and more. It is hard to explain my exact feelings but you feel so much for him.


James Franco did an AMAZING job in this movie. I wish he would have gotten the Oscar for his performance (I haven't seen the King's Speech but I'm sure Colin's performance was good, but James did amazing). I have watched this movie a lot and still feel the same as I did when I first watched it. The camera shots are well done and the scene he cuts off his arm is unbelievable!! It is done really well. One of the best movies I have seen!!
