When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I'm sorry but this movie is awful! I can't decide whether is a movie or a documentary, the story it's horrible, you don't get to know the characters so you don't feel sorry for any of them. Liam Neeson just narrates some parts, but it's like nothing. The only think I liked was that you can see the mountain pretty good but that's ALL. Besides, the story is too short and you can't get attached to anything. You can bearly see the actors faces and the music just doesn't do it. I mean...they put music for movies like..Superman! It's incredible how bad is this movie, when I saw it, I just couldn't believe it.Sorry folks, but it's horrible. Don't see it. Trust me.

Sadly, a film replete with missed opportunities. Many of the other reviewers have nailed it. There are one or two excellent scenes, but the film is basically a New Age take on the expedition...we are supposed to get tuned into the spiritual side of the effort, understanding inner need and dedication. We are supposed to feel one with the mountain and the world.Screw that! This film is a complete failure at helping the viewer appreciate the complexity and adversity involved in the effort. I have to marvel at how this film actually makes the ascent look fairly effortless. The recreations are also a waste of the viewer's time.Not recommended unless the only time you get to see it is in an IMAX theater...and then it still runs a distant second to going a couple hundred miles and seeing some snow yourself. This film is an insult to the mountain climbing community. Or maybe it's an inside joke.This is a 2 on a scale of 10.

Human Body at its best.... Endurance, perseverance, and beauty of height on planet Earth. It is a world worth visiting while your stay on planet Earth.Thanks and Regards.Sam RupaniHouston, Texas, United States of America.

This superb documentary contains beautiful shots of Mt. Everest and its surroundings, as well as discerning cinematography to make us aware of the challenges involved in scaling it. Great on IMAX, without a doubt! "Everest" insists on making us know how much oxygen is an issue as well as weather and temperature. There are, of course, other challenges. As to the tragic parties: "Everest" does a good job in presenting the logistical problems they faced as their fates were being sealed. Up and down the mountain, at different stations and spots. Though the climbers are obviously brave, their recklessness limits the sympathy we feel for them. But perhaps the most noteworthy thing to take from this film is that it is simply crazy to want to climb Mt. Everest, at least for me. What a great risk of death or permanent bodily harm! More than just a high climb straining your legs!
