Watch Farther Than the Eye Can See For Free

Such a frustrating disappointment

Beautiful, moving film.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Wow, I just tried to walk around my office with my eyes closed and couldn't make it two feet - let alone to the top of Everest.I've watched so many films and television shows about Everest, but this one easily tops them all. One of my favorite scenes is when Erik crosses his first ladder in the ice fall and you can hear him huffing and puffing and trying his best to walk across a ladder spanning a crevasse hundreds of feet deep.As someone who has climbed Everest, the footage up high is amazing - nothing else comes close to the quality of shots above the 8000m level.Overall this is an amazing story of accomplishing the impossible.

This film is truly an inspiring story and it includes amazing cinematography! This is not your average Everest film... it includes amazing shots, but it also tells a truly inspiring story. The blind climber's ambition and dedication is unbelievable. The cinematography is also incredible; I can't imagine lugging a camera to those elevations. I was never bored, I was always on the edge of my seat. Every aspect of the climb is perfectly documented. The Khumbu Icefall and other climbing shots are beautiful! The summit shots and celebrations will bring a tear to your eye. I'm so excited to have stumbled across this and other Michael Brown films!

After watching this film for the first time, I have just two things to say - How did they get those amazing shots? and who in their right mind would want to go out and get those shots? I'll admit going into this film I thought it was going to be just another mountaineering/'vertical limit-type' film, but I was wrong and enjoyed every second of it. Not only does this film take you along side Erik Weihenmayer's amazing attempt on the tallest mountain in the world, it also gives you the best sense of 'being there' out of any other film made about Mount Everest. Farther Than the Eye Can See is the perfect fusion of a climbing film and great storytelling. If you haven't seen this film - go out and watch it!!! You will be inspired.

This is a well made film. The story strikes you first. The struggle of the blind climber to the top of everest is a triumph of the human spirit. And though he cannot see, what we see is achingly beautiful. The cinematography is a spectacle, and the editing is spot on. Watch this film. It will make you want to achieve things in your own life. It will make you want to take the next air plane to the Himalayas and make your own trek. The world is a better place with men like Erik who overcome all to achieve their goals. And with a film like this, the achievement is so palpable you feel like you can reach out and touch it.
