Truly Dreadful Film

Memorable, crazy movie

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

There were a number of excellent actors in this film and it was a very good story to make into a film. I ultimately found that, despite the dramatic real life story, the film missed opportunities to push for a very viseral experience. There were moments that certainly could have and should have been more drawn out to give the viewer a truer experience to what the real life story was based on. The film is certainly worth watching, but it is not one that I would return to for another viewing.

One of the most boring movies ever. Can't believe how a story as compelling could be pulled off so poorly. Had to just quit halfway through. 1 out of 10.

This is an awesome film, so severe, so dooming, so palpable, so menacing. And it sends one and a very clear message - the Nature is too tough to trifle with, it is too violent, too wild, too unpredictable, too huge for us to fathem. This enormity of the Everest Mount, this unbelievably awesome scale, this tremendous size, this humongous altitude diminishes all people and makes them look like tiny tots. This is a very deep, a bit slow one, but deeply tragic, deeply serious, grave and solemn. It sends chills, it sends vibes, it sends a clear warning - don't mess with Mount. It sawllows people easily. I was very freightened after watching this movie, as it is so brutally honest, so horribly shocking, The very sheer volume of the Everest just opnes eyes and shows how unnecessary it is to climb there and die there.

Who put those ropes in? Who put the ladders across the ice-fall? Who put up those tents they're climbing into? Who carried the oxygen? Who carried the food they're now eating? The Sherpas do that work and that is never shown. The Sherpas did a huge amount of work on this expedition and they were heavily involved in the rescue. There were also Sherpas killed so I think it's yet another example of them being left out of the story, yet another example of over-exaggerated Western Heroism.
