Think I'm gonna go with the horror one. I like a good "trapped in one location" movie. Plus I'm one of those people who find the Disney movie irritating.

I think Frozen (2013) is cute and fun even if very typical, but Frozen (2010) is just depressing to me. It's well made and well written for what it is though. I'd say the problem is that it just isn't very entertaining and there really is no way it could be. Similar to a couple of those shark movies that have come out in the past decade.

Typical is one thing, but I feel like it kind of has a smug attitude about itself, as if poking fun at Disney tropes was brand spanking new in 2013. And that's interesting, because I talk to people who don't seem to find it depressing *enough*. Apparently the ending was too happy for them. But yeah, I thought the depressing tone worked and the director did a good job of capturing a sense of dread and hopelessness, arguably dumb character decisions aside. |

I watched it back in 2011, so this is based on vague memory. I did feel that smugness with Frozen (2013), but it is still a fun ride for the most part and the snowman character is priceless. In fact, without that character I probably wouldn't like the movie. It did capture the sense of dread, but it didn't offer other things besides the survival stuff. 127 Hours is one of the few that does it right, by adding the the stuff in his life, his regrets, what he will miss and his contemplation that this is probably going to be his death. This movie actually makes you feel you are there mentally (even his thirst and yearning for soda and juice and stuff) and all the stuff that would likely be going through your mind at the time. The dream he has that he made it out where Danny Boyle doesn't try to fool the audience that he actually did. Big props for that. There are other effective one place survival movie but I can't think of them at the moment.

There are other effective one place survival movie but I can't think of them at the moment. There's still some of that in Frozen. Of course, we're comparing a real life biographical drama from an Oscar winning director to a dead teenager movie with evil wolves, so one is a bit more refined. On that note, Frozen is certainly far from the best "trapped in one location" movie. Although, to give it one piece of credit, it never leaves the location. Aren't there a lot of flashbacks in 127 Hours? There's certainly a million in Saw 1. I get these can add character development and depth, but it also takes away from the claustrophobia. |

That is the exact reason I love 127 Hours and it doesn't take away from the claustrophobia at all for me. They are memories though, not flashbacks. That is the way I took it at least, that they are him reflecting about on his life. I should probably stop talking about why I dislike movies I have seen once 10 years ago. Explaining why I dislike certain movies is very difficult. I dislike movies that are well written even, they just fail to pull me in and make me care. Like Blue Ruin. I don't particularly like that movie and it is a smart well made movie. It just failed to make me care for whatever reason. That is many times what it comes down to for me.

Frozen (2013) but Frozen (2010) is still a solid film

The 2010 movie is surprisingly very good, but I still have to go with the more popular one.

I dislike them both, but “Do You Wanna Build a Snowman” has been stuck in my head for days now. So the 2010 one.

Frozen 2010, because it reminds me of the movie with Emily Blunt called Wind Chill.
