Ya gotta do what ya gotta do

Here's the facts: Aron Ralston was climbing in the canyons of Utah when he fell and got his hand wedged by a rock, but cut it off to escape. Knowing this going into the movie already creates a level of anticipation to keep you on the edge of your seat. So how do you keep that level without losing the audience? Danny Boyle's style and James Franco's Aron, manage to show us the progression making us realize how it could happen to anyone.
This is not really a movie that you "enjoy," it's more of an emotional experience. Hearing the story you think to yourself that you could never to what Aron Ralston did. However, with each small event happening on screen, you begin to imagine how it could. The level of realism really pulls you in and can be difficult to watch at times.
Like any true story, the point isn't what happened necessarily, but more of how it happened. I liked that it didn't go for the cheesy "inspirational" angle, just more about how, when faced with adversity, you do what you got to do.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
