ReelViews
Despite being broadly classified as an "adventure", it has depth and breadth that would put many dramas to shame. Well-produced, acted, and scripted, this is a film that has to be seen to be experienced, even by those who know the entire story. - 75
Rolling Stone
Alive draws considerable power from staying more human than heroic. - 67
Austin Chronicle
Alive is no Oscar-challenger, certainly, but it does treat a very dicey incident with the even-keeled direction the story deserves. - 63
Chicago Sun-Times
WQhat would it really be like to huddle in a wrecked aircraft for 10 weeks in freezing weather, eating human flesh? I cannot imagine, and frankly this film doesn't much help me. - 60
Empire
Not exactly light entertainment and it can drag in places but when the drama is cranked up, it really works. - 58
Entertainment Weekly
As engrossing as it is, the movie still tells only half the story: the other, nobler half. - 50
New York Magazine (Vulture)
Despite much fervent talk of the beauty of the mountains and the closeness of God, Alive peters out. [25 Jan 1993, p.55] - 50
Newsweek
Marshall is a good technician, but there's no sense of artistic adventure in his sometimes exciting, sometimes draggy movie.
