6/10
What happened to common sense

Warning: Spoilers
SPOILERS .The scenery in this movie is excellent, I have a feeling they shot some of it in Utah though. Anyways I just had to post a review for this movie.

I can almost imagine how the screen writing went. They decide somehow the guy is going to get his leg stuck then of course there will be a following scene where the woman has to cut it off. I think after they decided on that scene they handed over the reigns to a monkey with a typewriter to make it fit. It makes no sense for them to just decide to climb a 200 foot cliff when they have no climbing gear , probably no experience (aside from 1 rock wall climb lol), and were heavily fatigued. It was a poor attempt to get from point A (they are lost in the grand canyon) to point B (he is stuck and must cut the leg off). Not to mention that any little crevice like that would be long filled in with sand.

The movie just has so many parts that aren't believable because the characters do such stupid things. The biggest part was the fact that they didn't just retrace their footsteps after the dood was bitten. Nope they had to wonder off and get lost. If you put aside the ridiculous script this movie isn't bad.
