Everest

...kampen mod de ekstreme forhold og bjerget selv er i sig selv medrivende.

...excellent technical work and the efforts of a first-rate cast...

...boasts a handful of spectacular shots that show how small the climbers really are, usually by panning from a team of struggling hikers to the vast, craggy expanses beneath them.

...true-life disaster movie plays like a downbeat sequel...one-ups it with even more vertiginous, stereoscopic imagery of the highest place on Earth, using footage shot on the mountain along with cleverly selected lookalike locales.
