Bad special effects, plodding story and some pretty gaping plot holes. It has a phenomenal cast that IMO was completely wasted.

Most of all though, and this is probably 90% of why I hated it; after seeing a real documentary about climbing; Meru, which was fantastic (I HIGHLY recommend it), this was really, really hard to take seriously.

Pass on this one boys and girls. If you are in the mood for a climbing movie, go see Meru.

The book this movie was based on (Into Thin Air) is flipping fantastic. Too bad about the way this movie turned out. I will check out Meru Bert. Thanks for the recommendation.

man, was this movie incredibly mediocre. didn't even make good use of 3D.

and Hollywood's made A LOT of climbing movies over the years... none of them (save Cliffhanger) seem to have been successful.

I'm only going if there is some cannibalism in the story.

Everest is full of dead bodies. If they show that....not my idea of being entertained.
