Movie Review - Everest (2015) - This is not a regular "Vertical Limit" Human vs Human but more of Human vs Mountain kind of a movie. Not really a documentary but a Movie-mentary if you will. Stunning cinematography, exquisite capture of the mountain ranges are the highlights. You feel how tiny you are in perspective. There is not much of a story though. Slow to start getting the characters in place and then rushing the adrenaline pushing part quickly. Certainly, Everest leaves you with questions on "Why at all does one take on challenges in life, knowing very well the risks it offers". There are some answers to this when the characters reason it out. But then again not too convincingly. Watching Everest on the big screen/IMAX helps magnify Everests' majesty. You will certainly have the vicarious feeling of being there, feeling dizzy, breathless and climbing by yourselves. It certainly is a substitute for the real journey...A 3.5/5.
