    Storyline

    • Goofs
      Near the end of the movie when the airplane with Neal and Lia is crashing, the first shot of it sliding down the mountain clearly shows the tail broken off, and we also see someone outside/above the cockpit waving their arms, but in the following shots the plane is shown with the fuselage still intact (minus wings only) sliding down the mountain and the cockpit is also still intact with both people inside and in their seats. This is also the way the plane ends up in the crevice.

    Mostly average
    Messy script, fairly entertaining and horrible cgi! Factory explodes that's connected to a mountain of snow in which causes an avalanche that all happens in the first 20 minutes which is nuts. The cinematography is pretty nice in some parts other parts it feels like a soap opera. The 4.1 is understandable and I'm just a nice critic to give it a 5. Not much to say about this movie there's a few good aspects.
