Grimerlana Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Horst in Translation ([email protected]) Very simple: Do not climb it. This is a 45-minute IMAX film from almost 20 years ago about a group of mountain climbers who have the goal to reach the summit of the highest mountain on Earth. I have always been skeptical about the faster, higher, deeper approach. Why would you want to get there. And don't give me nonsense like I wanted to be as close to my dead parents as possible. The only reason why I did not rate this even lower were the first 15 minutes who basically tell us nicely about the Himalayas without bringing the climbing perspective in. And I also won't feel sorry for you if you die up there or if you lose your hands or anything, no matter how much dramatic music you include. Maybe some areas of nature are meant to be untouched by humans and you can make beautiful nature documentaries as well without putting your life at risk. Yes the landscapes in here are beautiful of course, but that's pretty much it. Not recommended and it sucks for me to see Liam Neeson as the narrator in here as I quite like him.

fox3590 Wow, this movie is amazing, I saw it in the IMAX theater and was stunned. the graphics blew me away. The fairly well known story, that was depicted in 'Into Thin Air' is brought to new heights (quite literally) and a new understanding of just how dangerous this mountain is. I liked this movie because of the courage shown by the climbers, the have to face challenge after challenge, but they persevere. Also what really grabbed my attention is how the climbers not only document the story, but also their thoughts for you to see. I have seen many climbing movies, but this just blows them all away, taking mountain filmography to never-before-seen perfection. The scenes and the people are amazing, they have inspired me and I hope they will inspire you also. *Fox*

snowball-15 When I bought it on DVD, I was expecting more. More beautiful scenery at least. Bonus material sometimes is more interesting then the original movie, especially the "Making of" part. Other bonus parts were disappointing too, like 360 degrees overlook from the top is simulated, that is not what you expect considering the fact that they managed to get IMAX cameras there on top. I think they gave too much time to human stories of the climbers and the story of the killer storm on Everest. In the end we got little about people, very little about tragedy on the slopes and definitely not enough of beauty of the mountains. I ranked it 4 out of 10 only because some beauty was still present.
