“The Mountain Between Us” (** out of four) was a lumbering adaptation of Charles Martin’s best-selling novel about a journalist (Kate Winslet) and a surgeon (Idris Elba) whose plane crashlands in the High Uintas wilderness as they struggle to stay alive with no food and freezing weather conditions. As they grow to depend on one another, they gradually fall in love. Despite two great actors and beautiful scenery, story is never very compelling and remains earthbound and dull. Elba and Winslet work well together but film lacks sparks. For the same story with more grit and fire, watch 1992’s “Alive” instead.
