Negative Positive
Title: Poor attempt at documenting an Everest endeavor.
Review: This movie did NOT capture the story told in Krakauer's book or Boukriev's account of the events. Since it didn't follow either of these author's accounts as described in their books, or the IMAX movie version for that matter, we could only hope that it would accurately depict what an endeavor like an Everest summit assault was like. Nope! It failed to address or adequately portray the material issues one encounters when considering an Everest summit assault. Ok, maybe the portrail of the participants would be entertaining. Nope! The development of the characters in the film was very shallow. In summary, the film had very little to offer. A waste of time. Read Krakauer's "Into Thin Air", AND Boukreev's "The Climb", both describe the events of May 10, 1996 on Mt. Everest.
