Wow, this movie is amazing, I saw it in the IMAX theater and was stunned. the graphics blew me away. The fairly well known story, that was depicted in 'Into Thin Air' is brought to new heights (quite literally) and a new understanding of just how dangerous this mountain is. I liked this movie because of the courage shown by the climbers, the have to face challenge after challenge, but they persevere. Also what really grabbed my attention is how the climbers not only document the story, but also their thoughts for you to see. I have seen many climbing movies, but this just blows them all away, taking mountain filmography to never-before-seen perfection. The scenes and the people are amazing, they have inspired me and I hope they will inspire you also. *Fox*

I had the opportunity to see this historic achievement in film while it was playing at a near-by IMAX screen. This film is as close as I EVER care to get to that mountain of death. The filmmakers have captured images that are unlike anything ever imagined before. And while most of the story is already well known (through best sellers THE CLIMB and INTO THIN AIR) the film still manages to keep you on the edge of your seat (and on the edge of a crevice). What else could one want? An IMAX movie on how this camera crew shot this film. Prepared to be astounded and blown away!

This movie appeared tonight on TNT, and parts of it moved me nearly to tears. There are some majestic shots of Mt. Everest and the Himalayas. Generally, if a movie is an IMAX film I like it, and this one proved no exception. Inspiri

I continue to be amazed at the amount of great reviews this film is getting. Most center around how heroic a feat it was to lug the bulky IMAX eq up through the death zone, or on the personal stories of the climbers.Hello! IMAX is a VISUAL medium! However, the film only contains about 5-10 minutes of high quality visuals, and I expected a lot more. There are 4 IMAX-worthy shots, of which only 2 were actually in Nepal: The flight up the valley from Khatmandu gives the awesome scale of the climb; The avalanche is a must-experience on IMAX; the overflight of the mountain biking in Utah is spectacular; and the flight approach to the woman climbing sea cliffs of Baja is stunning.Serious admirers of the mountain climbing world must be disheartened by the "re-creation" of mountain scenes. Look for gnarled vegetation that shows in some climbing scenes - indicating re-creation somewhere far below timberline (in the US on Mt Hood or Rainier?). Was the avalanche also re-created?I had higher hopes for the visuals and came away disappointed. I was not expecting IMAX to be used for documentary interviews that filled my peripheral vision. In fairness, a 50 minute IMAX feature has no chance against a book like Into Thin Air. So, I argue, why try? Why not concentrate more on the potentially stunning visuals? Life in the beaver pond was a much more entertaining IMAX feature.
