Despite these changes, with which he was initially uncomfortable, Ralston says the rest of the film is "so factually accurate it is as close to a documentary as you can get and still be a drama."
Unatoč tim izmjenama, s kojima u početku nije bio zadovoljan, Ralston je izjavio da je "ostatak filma toliko točan kao da je u pitanju gotovo pravi dokumentarac u kojem svejedno možeš osjetiti dramu."
