2.5/4  Uh, yeah.
An interesting attempt at creating interesting worldS plural. Basically it was very interesting and had colorful characters in a variety of situations. Overall to me it seemed forced. But I was glad to get the recommendation nonetheless, ... (read full)

3/5 Correct Aspect Ratios Please!!
  by Dead Elvis 1988 (Atlanta, Georgia)
I've always enjoyed this film and my hope is that one day sooner than later someone reissues this DVD in the correct aspect ratio. I would've rated this Rene Cardona, Jr. film at 4 or 5 stars if I felt the ratio and quality was correct.

5/5 Supervivientes De Los Andes... Just Great
  by El Ojo Detras Del Telon (Houston, Texas United States)
WOW I remember watching Los Supervivientes De Los Andes as I knew it like it was last night, been at home having dinner and watchin this back home, I remember I couldn't sleep that night after I watched this, and never able to find it or watch it again till now, I also watched the documentary about the survivers and was great then I saw ALIVE what a piece of crap don't waist your time watching ALIVE... This is a great movie just don't forget that they didn't have the budge that a studio have now in days for its time is a great movie!

1/5 Watch the movie "Alive" if you want to see this story
  by John D. Page (usa)
Like most people I remember this film as a Sunday night movie on A.B.C. and at the time I felt it was OK, but after watching this disc I have questioned my own taste. this should be called "The National Enquirer Presents Survive" as it wallows in the most debased, sick, and horrible part of the story. There is an almost loving scene of the group slicing meat off the dead that is horrible. The story is better told and better acted in the movie "Alive"! Skip this trash.

1/5 For God's Sake,Just Read ALIVE!!!!!!
  by Twinkles (Missouri)
I have only seen bits and pieces of this awful piece of trash,but that's enough to scar you for LIFE!!!I'm warning you,in the first 15 minutes you see an unfortunate soul get a metal rod impaled in his stomach,which another survivor must pull out immediately,and you get to see the wonderful image of his stomach popping out through his skin.The acting is terrible,the music sickeningly maudlin and the cannibalism is absolutely tasteless and gross.If you enjoy this movie you might have serious psychological problems.In my opinion,this film should be banned.God Bless America!!!

1/5 Not the 1977 ABC movie you might have expected
  by Theodore Voelkel (Winchester, MA United States)
If, like me, you enjoyed the 1977 ABC movie, co-produced by Robert Stigwood, with a snappy, catchy music score by Gerald Fried, and DUBBED INTO ENGLISH, including fascinating geographical and aeronautical narration about flying over the Andes, you will be disappointed. This is the same made-in-Mexico movie, but a vastly different edition. It is in Spanish with English subtitles, all narration is stripped away, and instead of Gerald Fried's gripping music score, there is merely whooshing-wind sound effects by a musical mediocrity named Raul Lavista. What a pity, the nicely trimmed-up, filled-out, tuneful 1977 ABC version replaced by this dreary, boresome ain't-cannibalism-groovy pseudo-novelty. I say skip the purchase and hope that Singa Home Entertainment brings out the ABC broadcast version.
