To me, this movie is perfection.
Save your money for something good and enjoyable
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
I really can't say what I would rate this movie if there was better music because I couldn't even make it through more than 20 minutes.I don't dislike the music in the abstract itself, but to say it's the wrong music for the topic is an understatement. It's often frenetic and way too fast paced for what your watching and quickly becomes distracting and jarring.Be nice if the re-did the audio score, because it otherwise looked like it could have been good
Wow!!!Stunning footage, genuinely excellent. Narration solid and timely.The first frames sum up the whole film - 'Those who dance are considered mad...by those who cannot hear the music" I WISH I COULDNT HEAR THE MUSIC!!!! It is so bad i lasted 12 minutes and 29 seconds.if this was released with NO MUSIC and narration only it would probably be very very good.I am genuinely dumbstruck
Willam Dafoe's voice was humble and respectful when he narrated, the soundtrack, scores played by the orchestra were just sublime and quite matching what those great mountain scene after scene on the screen. There were so many of them so scary to watch. Those fearless climbers on the cliffs, those snowy vertical, dangerous ridges, my heart was uncontrollably pounding....A film about those high mountains, cold, relentless, fierce, silently ready to kill you....Gee, just don't know why so many people wanted to what they called "Conquer" those mountains and conquering themselves. Those mountains are just there, no matter what kind of objects or excuses that human beings trying to climb them to the tops. There were so many scenes that we could only barely see some tiny dots which were actually the human climbers. What I do know is, mountain climbing is a very expensive hobby or sports or whatever vanity that we human beings created. And such adventures are becoming more and more expensive now, more expensive than driving on the cities' street pavements.
This movie satisfied my wanderlust for mountain scenery with closeups of peaks, high altitudes, glaciers, crevasses, moonlit star-filled skies, and bivouacking sunrises that were lacking in David Breashear's IMAX films and all other mountain movies I have had the pleasure of watching on the big screen. The footage was fantastic! The score and narration were also impressive and the movie was enjoyable from beginning to end. However, I think the theme of "humility" (according to the Director) has been overdone many times and could have been much more than that. While the narration was absolutely poetic at times, the theme of humility juxtaposed with ego-charged young white men of privilege "conquering" the mountain's strength doesn't really add up. It would have set this film apart from the others if the focus was on the need for a close relationship with nature at any cost. The theme of the mountains "succumbing" to being conquered by adventure seekers could have been left out and the movie would have been an amazing, beautifully narrated depiction of the inner peace that comes from the quiet solitude of a mountain peak that we all seek but only a few are lucky to achieve.
