This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Better Late Then Never
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
90 minutes of my life wasted watching this crap. I know it is based on a true story but why they made a film about it i will never know. zzzzzzz
6 Below is based on a true story of Eric LeMarque (Josh Harnett) an ex ice hockey player, crystal meth addict who goes snowboarding and is ill prepared. He gets lost in the mountains when a blizzard approaches and has to fight for survival. There are flashbacks to his boyhood travails and disputes with his ice hockey team. His mother figures that something is wrong and tries to get a search and rescue operation in motion.The director has toned down the faith based elements of LeMarque's story but he has also toned down any excitement. It is flatly directed and it has little tension or energy. It certainly is no 127 Hours.
Based on the true story of Eric LeMarque (Josh Harnett). Eric is a young man with a meth habit. He is a hockey player and it is claimed he is good enough to go pro. While snowboarding he selects the wrong path as he did in life. A whiteout happens and he gets lost, having to survive living off of bark and flashbacks. Mom decides to look for him after a few days giving us a subplot.If you are looking for a good survival film of man against the element, building igloos and hunting wolves armed with just a snowboard, this isn't it. We see Eric mostly laying on the ground thinking about his past relationships with men, like dad and the coach. There are some faith elements in the film, the bible is quoted, but they manage to avoid the "J" word (Jesus). It wasn't Kevin Sorbo bad.More akin to a Lifetime film than a serious thriller.Guide: No swearing. Partial male nudity.
This is an amazing survival movie, about love, family and perseverance.When I saw an IMDb score of 5,7, I was a bit hesitant about watching it, but this is one of those few movies where the score is completely wrong.It's inspiring, with some great life lessons. It's about overcoming all obstacles. It's about family and love. It's about being imperfect and human. It's about life. Go see it.
