    Plot: After surviving a plane crash in the snowy Colorado mountains, two strangers must embark on a journey by helping each other return to civilisation.

    I'm struggling how to introduce this film. So I'm just going to go straight into it.

    While there was nothing exceptional about the film, it was still an fairly entertaining piece of work.
    The story opens fairly conventionally and we get the situation our main characters are in. After that, it is a survival tale with a little bit of romance a long the way. As mentioned before, almost everything in the film is nothing we've seen before. However, there is one moment towards the end that if you don't jump in shock at, then you were probably asleep at that time. While a lot of it was mildly cheesy, it was only until the ending where I was rolling my eyes in disapproval of the melodrama involved.

    I think without Idris Elba and Kate Winslet, this could have been quite a mess. They are oozing with charisma and thank god for the top choices of casting. But the romance we're supposed to get from these characters, I did not feel fully invested in. There is a spark, but no fire.

    You definitely have to suspend your disbelief with certain aspects of the story to enjoy it as much as possible. I have to admit, there are parts that are hard to ignore. The main thing was that I felt none of our main characters were in serious danger. They still looked as fabulous and radiant as they were at the start of this ordeal.
    I noticed that there was a solid amount of humor that had a similar tone to that of The Martin. However, unlike Ridley Scott's brilliant sci-fi, the laughs don't always hit the mark and almost felt a bit awkward.

    I have to mention the ending in more detail. It could have been settled much earlier. The final couple of minutes ended up being quite soppy, melodramatic and a bit of a shame as everything was I felt was perfectly functional. It will probably win the award for the corniest ending of the year.

    I was happy to hear that everything was shot on location and nothing was green-screen, as there were lots of lovely locations that were well shot and made it a very pleasant viewing in terms of the imagery.

    So to conclude, yes it's cheesy, cliched, the laws of logic and consistency are thrown out of the window and it's nothing exceptional. But it still managed to entertain me, the pacing was solid and I was never bored and that is thanks mainly to Elba and Winslet for keeping my interest.
    It would have been interesting if this was given a Christmas release as that would have definitely added a extra slice of cheese to it.
