Trivia
Filmed in chronological order to allow the actors to steadily lose weight to accurately portray the effects of starvation.

Goofs
When the Chilean Air Force helicopters arrive to rescue the survivors, a civilian who looks like a member of the media starts capturing a reel of the rest of the plane and the survivors waving their hands. In reality, it wasn't a journalist who did this, but a member of the Air Force. The helicopter rescue was a hazardous trip in itself. The copters only had space to fit the survivors. A Chilean television crew loaned a camera to the copilot of one of the helicopters so he could shoot the images.

Quotes
Numa Turcatti: [on a handwritten note passed to his friends] There is no greater love than that which gives one's life for one's friends.

The final 30 minutes completes the 1993 version

I've always loved the 1993 version (Alive) and seen it lots of times so I was always looking forward to seeing this. I thought it was pretty good... that is until the last 30 minutes - wow! So much emotion and completes the whole story that was missing from the 1993 version.

By no means am I saying this is a poor film, in fact the production was great and so much time and effort went into this going from the write ups prior to its release. Having relations involved from the true story also makes it more emotional.

If you find it long at almost 2hrs 30min just hold out to the last 30 minutes.
