Title: Big Mountain, Big Format, Small Film
Product review: Imax is a stunning film format, and climbing Everest is an awe-inspiring subject - so how come this film leaves you so cold and conveys so little of the human struggle. The script has all the depth of an exercise bike commercial, and while the climbers rise to 28000ft their insights never rise above the "I love to climb, thats why I do it" level. The huge irony was that the film was made the year of the biggest tradgedy in the mountains history and you still ended up thinking that you could easily get up to the top on a nice sunday afternoon stroll and be down for supper.
