Watch Everest For Free

Absolutely the worst movie.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

IMAX films are designed for screens over three stories tall. So, if you want to see this film, do not watch it on video, watch it in an IMAX theater. I saw Everest on a television, and it was painful to watch. The music was scored to give the audience a sense of the greatness of Everest, but when the screen is so small, it almost seems silly. Also, remember that this film is targeted at all age groups, so do not expect to learn much about climbing.

I had the opportunity to see this historic achievement in film while it was playing at a near-by IMAX screen. This film is as close as I EVER care to get to that mountain of death. The filmmakers have captured images that are unlike anything ever imagined before. And while most of the story is already well known (through best sellers THE CLIMB and INTO THIN AIR) the film still manages to keep you on the edge of your seat (and on the edge of a crevice). What else could one want? An IMAX movie on how this camera crew shot this film. Prepared to be astounded and blown away!

I saw this recently at the Space Museum in Hong Kong, and thought it was stunning. The photography was superb, making full use of the whole FOV image possible with IMAX equipment. The documentary was emotive and compelling and the scenes breathtaking. Those scared of heights should probably skip this one!!

I continue to be amazed at the amount of great reviews this film is getting. Most center around how heroic a feat it was to lug the bulky IMAX eq up through the death zone, or on the personal stories of the climbers.Hello! IMAX is a VISUAL medium! However, the film only contains about 5-10 minutes of high quality visuals, and I expected a lot more. There are 4 IMAX-worthy shots, of which only 2 were actually in Nepal: The flight up the valley from Khatmandu gives the awesome scale of the climb; The avalanche is a must-experience on IMAX; the overflight of the mountain biking in Utah is spectacular; and the flight approach to the woman climbing sea cliffs of Baja is stunning.Serious admirers of the mountain climbing world must be disheartened by the "re-creation" of mountain scenes. Look for gnarled vegetation that shows in some climbing scenes - indicating re-creation somewhere far below timberline (in the US on Mt Hood or Rainier?). Was the avalanche also re-created?I had higher hopes for the visuals and came away disappointed. I was not expecting IMAX to be used for documentary interviews that filled my peripheral vision. In fairness, a 50 minute IMAX feature has no chance against a book like Into Thin Air. So, I argue, why try? Why not concentrate more on the potentially stunning visuals? Life in the beaver pond was a much more entertaining IMAX feature.
