Better Late Then Never

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

I cannot understand the low rating this has on IMDb. I have never written a review before but created an account to sing the praises of this movie. Stunningly beautiful and emotionally moving, I wish more people could see it and appreciate the true bravery of these soldiers, more for what they talked about than the mountain they climbed. Thank YouThis review on rotten tomatoes makes much more sense. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/high_ground_2012/writing more to satisfy IMDb rules??? Wow, this is silly, I may never right a review again!

True stories are always the best stories, and stories don't get much more "true" than those told by the soldiers in High Ground. An entire generation of Americans have become desensitized to the realities of war, myself included. Hearing soldiers share their post-war struggles, both physical and emotional, was heartbreaking. Watching as they take small steps towards overcoming those struggles was heartwarming. Chad Jukes adds a great dose of comic relief along the way, and Aaron "Ike" Isaacson shows what it really means to be a hero. The cinematography in this movie is stunning, as is the soundtrack and score. I can't recommend the film enough!

This movie is more than a story of people climbing mountains. It's a touching and disturbing true account of the plight of returning soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan, what they have been through, how they are struggling to reestablish themselves into daily life and how Soldiers to Summits is helping.Touching: Hearing the soldiers' stories; seeing their emotional growth as they learn to scale mountains; seeing their faces as they accomplish their goals.Disturbing: Realizing how poorly our returning veterans are treated; understanding what they have endured; wanting to do something about it.It's a movie that makes you laugh, makes you cry, makes you wonder how people go through what they do and survive. It's something we should all see to face the reality of what happens when soldiers return home.Gorgeous scenery, beautiful score, it's a movie that calls you to action for our returning soldiers.

This is a stunning film, both visually and in its message. As a viewer I was pulled into the intense despair that some of the soldiers were feeling, and then I was drawn out of that into a place of hope, beauty and appreciation of life. It was easy to really care about these people and their struggles. This film has the potential to create change in our society as thousands of soldiers return to our communities with burdens that many civilians simply cannot understand. We cannot afford to make the same mistakes we made with our Vietnam veterans, and High Ground goes a long way towards creating an understanding of our society's challenges and our responsibility to our returning soldiers. This message is portrayed with a stunning background of incredible cinematography and music.
