So, I never have wanted to watch "Alive" for the obvious reason. Why I thought another plane crash in the Andes Mountains wouldn't head down the same path is beyond me. At a high level, a rugby team and others crash with trying to cross the peaks of the Andes Mountains. How will they be rescued and how many will survive until that day. While this was arduous and exhaustive to watch, it was very well done. Genuinely good effects and they did a good job of managing several characters by giving them time to develop their personalities. This is a mix bag of amazing human survival with incredible sadness. It is wild to think this was a true event.
