If you are in the mood for a romantic movie but not something as syrupy as a Hallmark movie, "The Mountain Between Us" would be a safe bet. A
couple of great actors (Kate Winslet and Idris Elba) , adventure and good old romance.
Alex ( Kate Winslet) , a photojournalist , is scheduled to marry her fiance the very next day but is stranded by a flight cancellation due to a storm. Desperate to get back to Denver, she decides to Charter a flight. She over hears Dr. Ben ( Idris Elba ) wanting to go to Denver (desperately as well) to attend to a patient and offers him the option of the Chartered flight.
As Alex and Ben make some idle chat typical of any co-passengers, their pilot has an "in flight" stroke thereby crashing the aircraft in the snow capped mountain of Utah. The pilot dies leaving behind the two protagonists of the movie and his dog. Hence begins the fight for survival.
The movie focuses on the trust the two strangers must put in each
other to survive. As the days go by, the real life ceases to exist from them.
Alex stops taking about his fiance and you can visibly see the growing
attraction between Alex and Ben and of course, their fight for survival continues.
I quite enjoyed watching this movie though it is not going to be
etched in my memory for long. There is no dull moment in the movie with Alex
getting into some kind of a trouble or the other. It was a pleasure to watch Kate and Idris together. They make such a lovely couple with the perfect chemistry.
Verdict :- Definite one time
watch . 6/10
