Title: Some good shots of the valley leading to base camp
Product review: If you want to get a sense of what it is like to climb Everest, listen to (or read) Into Thin Air. If you want to see what Everest looks like, check out the web sites with photos. Even the third grade class site. The shots over the crevasses are clearly thought to be the money shots, but I wasn't taken by them. The areas I wanted to get a better sense of (the balcony, the rocky steps, the Hillary Step. the summit even), I didn't. Most of these shots were movies without much movement, and I didn't get an understanding of where they fit on the mountain. The voice over was vaguely trite, with nothing memorable. The helicopter shots up the approaching valley however, I have not seen anywhere else. I also saw this in an IMAX theatre a year ago, but it did not get my interest in Everest as Into Thin Air has.
