The Mountain Between Us (2017) is pretty damn cheesy, you know what's going to happen, you really do. By the numbers is a good way to describe this film, and I don't necessarily hate that, a predictable film can still be fun and entertaining. I don't dislike this film, it has good things that keep it afloat. Those things are Kate Winslet and Idris Elba. These two actors are just very talented and have enough chemistry to mostly pull this off. You have to know what this film is to be able to enjoy it, it's a cheesy romance. But the film knows how cheesy it is and I think it has fun with it. There are scenes where I felt the corny nature of it all went a bit too far and I was just like ok let's get on with it, but that wasn't too prevalent. The visuals are all very beautiful and it's directed well, and it features good actors with enough working chemistry. If all that is enough for you, then you'll most likely like this film. I will say that I didn't expect the third act to be as ling as it was, but that was actually my favorite part of the film. I had a good enough time with this, and didn't take it too seriously. 7/10.
