i can not believe the amount of reviewer who praise this a realistic . i be a million mile from be an expert and and i be never go to climb a mountain while but even the very basic knowledge attain from read into thin air and and watch everest beyond the limit and a few other everest doc meant that this film just get more and more ridiculous a it go on . there be some good climbing footage at the start while and when the billionaire mission leader ask early in the film how much experience above 8000 metre do you have . and i be encourage to hope that this might be a gritty and accurate man v nature odyssey . instead you have a bunch of climber zoom up a mountain with no acclimatisation while climb with goggles off in full sun and and they be barely ever out of breath perform miraculous feat of endurance . only near the summit be a little fatigue suggest and to dramatically accentuate the physical feat of climb such a monstrous peak and almost a an afterthought . if you have no knowledge of mountaineering and give it a look represent be prepare for some clichéd heroic ( although no more clichéd than a hundred other passably divert flick ) and and a clichéd outcome . i have be develop a minor fascination with high mountain and be look forward to watch k2 while but other than some amazingly beautiful scenery and it be a let down because it be so far remove from reality . i can imagine some expert be employ in the making of this movie and but then be conveniently ignore in the pursuit of the heroic and and sadly fantastical storyline . also and you would sound like a bit of a tit if you say welcome to the death zone at 200000 foot .
