Boring

It's not 'hard' to make a film about mountains.... nature did all the drama work for you.. but, dear Lord this is a terrible mess.Defoe's script is an abomination. It's cod 'awesome' piffle that wouldn't appeal to half brain dead mountain goat. Then it's an ad for Austria's favourite sugary caffeine drinkWhich is an excuse for more portentous twaddle. ('Mountains are considered one of nature's greatest wonders')Then it falls off a cliff.Not to be attempted

I spent most of this movie trying to figure out whether it was an ad for an SUV or an ad for an investment bank. (Spoiler: it's an ad for The North Face and Red Bull.)The great Willem Dafoe does his best to make the narration (spiritual-fitness-bro poetry with tons of alliteration: "forged by force and fire, not waves of water but waves of stone, the mountains sing their siren song, making reward of risk and myths from men of madness") seem less laughably stupid, but he's not a miracle worker.To compare this to a BBC Nature program is frankly insulting to the BBC; I'm a huge admirer of shows like Life and Planet Earth, which demystify the natural world and seek to explain its processes, its systems. This movie, on the other hand, is just an hour of embarrassing ad copy set to a cheesy score over footage of X-Games athletes doing (quite impressive) bike and snowboard stunts.What an unbelievable waste of resources this movie represents.

Extremely beautiful footage, good thought, but terrible music. With such a sound, they have spoiled the good movie. Especially in the beginning - a cacophony of sounds that lack any harmony to be called music. I do not know the creators of the movie with what sounds associate the majestic and renowned mountains of our planet, but their associations do not coincide with mine. I tried to watch him without sound, but gave up. And I deleted it unconsciously.

Willam Dafoe's voice was humble and respectful when he narrated, the soundtrack, scores played by the orchestra were just sublime and quite matching what those great mountain scene after scene on the screen. There were so many of them so scary to watch. Those fearless climbers on the cliffs, those snowy vertical, dangerous ridges, my heart was uncontrollably pounding....A film about those high mountains, cold, relentless, fierce, silently ready to kill you....Gee, just don't know why so many people wanted to what they called "Conquer" those mountains and conquering themselves. Those mountains are just there, no matter what kind of objects or excuses that human beings trying to climb them to the tops. There were so many scenes that we could only barely see some tiny dots which were actually the human climbers. What I do know is, mountain climbing is a very expensive hobby or sports or whatever vanity that we human beings created. And such adventures are becoming more and more expensive now, more expensive than driving on the cities' street pavements.
