User Reviews
I have to disagree, I found this amazing to watch, I mean come on! All you have to do is See Mount Everest and I get all googly-eyed.
I thought the photography was incredible, and the information on how they get there and why they are helping the geologist is fascinating to a "civilian" like me, which is who the movie is for.
If you are a true climber then sure I can imagine it might disappoint, but I'm not sure why.
This isn't supposed to be the final word on what Everest is like, it's a picture of the ascent of one team, and what it takes to get there.
After seeing this gorgeous film I want to try for Everest myself in a few years. Rarely do movies inspire me, but this one did.
