Title: Don't expect much... seriously!
Product review: I heard alot about "Into Thin Air" and this IMAX film, so when it was released on DVD, I had to get it. Unfortunately, this film is amazingly bland and artificial. The movie is "peppered" with video-game-like graphics. I've honestly seen better ornamentation in corporate PowerPoint presentations. The viewer gets no sense of the drama of what actually occurred (at least 7 people died on Everest while the film was shot). Liam Neeson's narration only heightens the artificial feel of this film. There has been much talk of the frozen bodies still on Everest. You will not find them in this Disney-esque feature. If you're thinking "K2" or "Vertical Limit," you are way off base. Heidi's climb to Grandpapa's chalet in the 1968 classic was more action-packed and realistically staged.
