Title: The worst climbing movie I've ever seen
Review: I have some modest climbing experience. I took two schools of snow and ice techniques, climbed Mt. Rainier in WA and Cotopaxi in Ecuador. I read a lot about climbing. This movie is completely unrealistic. Who in the right mind would use nitro for crevasse rescue? I suppose they figured human drama is not enough and they need a lot of pirotechnics to keep people interested. How can you fly a chopper above 10,000 feet to rescue people off the face of the mounain? How can people not wear snow goggles and take off their gloves at those conditions? I reckon so that we can see the actors' pretty faces. I gave the movie 2 stars because some actors tried hard. If you want a better climbing movie see "K2". You will see real Pakistan, learn about pulmonary edema, the reality of flying helicopters at high altitude, the reality of mounting an expedition. Want a true drama see "Everest".
