Title: Disappointing
Product review: I was in Nepal in 1996, the year of the disaster on Everest. I met David Brashears and Aracelli Segarra. They are impressive people and what they did in the service of the hapless climbers (putting their expedition on hold to help the rescue efforts, lending their oxygen tanks, etc.) should all by itself have made an incredible story. Beck Weathers' incredible against-all-odds survival and the heroism of the Nepali Air Force chopper pilot who rescued him are in the movie but could have figured larger. In fact, there was so much more that could have been done with this movie that it was almost anticlimactic to watch. Very disappointing, considering the subject. Also, the visuals were by-and-large not as impressive as previous IMAX movies I have seen. If you want to experience a real nail-biting version of the Everest disaster of 1996 you must read Jon Krakauer's excellent and definitive book "Into Thin Air." So far, nothing exceeds it.
