Overall, Everest gave me exactly what I wanted. But that stuff doesn't bother you in the moment, your just wrapped up in the intensity of the story. At times, the pace is a bit slower than expected and the tones shifts from serious to light hearted are a bit messy. What this film does so well is it immerses you into the environment as well as gives you characters to care about. I even watched the one about the story told in this movie. If there is a Netflix documentary about Everest, I've watched it. ![]() This film really did it for me because I have always been fascinated by Everest and the journey it is to make it up to the top and back. IMAX only added to it, putting you in this environment and taking you along for the ride. The cinematography is definitely award worthy. The shots they get of climbers and the way the camera gives you an an idea of how dangerous this is are breath taking. The visuals are, as you might have guessed, stunning. When the emotional blows hit, they hit hard for some, but not as much for others. Each character is given a back story, some more drawn out and centered than others, and you get attached to most but not all of them. ![]() Everyone is believable in this hostile environment, going from optimistic and adventurous to mortified and forced to fight for their lives. Jason Clarke, Josh Brolin, Keira Knightley, Jake Gyllenhaal, the list goes on. That aside, let's dive into one of my most anticipated films of the year. ![]() It adds to the experience and you feel like your on the mountain. ![]() I'll start off by saying this, if you get the chance, definitely see this movie in IMAX. Got the chance to see Everest early in IMAX 3D.
