Donna C 7 hrs ago Movie was good & liked that it used the real people like Jim Morrison, Jimmy Chin & really sherpa's to tell the story. This gave it a more personal feel. There are always trials & tribulations with Everest & amazing they accomplished the North Face from China which very few make & then to see Jim ski down was spectacular. Also, bizarre that they went during monsoon season in order to make it before season end. They had terrific determination, climbing skills & made it through undefying odds especially multiple avalanche. Beautiful scenery throughout the film & terrific story of will & determination.

See more Angela 19 hrs ago Absolutely incredible footage, I held my breath during the descent. Heart wrenching and life affirming story of one of the most impressive mountaineering and ski descents of the Century. Seeing this movie in IMAX is a must!!!!

For the people whining it’s a ‘vanity’ project - these people set a massive goal and went out and persevered. It’s shameful to criticize someone with this much passion and follow through on their dreams. See more Bill Y 20 hrs ago Skip it. A young couple attempts an extraordinary feat: climbing Everest's brutal North Face and skiing back down. But what should have been an exhilarating account of human endeavor quickly becomes a depressing slog. While the documentary devotes ample time to the people involved, it offers surprisingly little insight into the actual skill and artistry of climbing or skiing. Worse, as the featured climbers abandon their families for this high-risk expedition, the film prominently features—without irony—the devastating impact of past family loss. Ultimately, there is no joy in the ascent, and the descent looks like a novice skier snowplowing down a black diamond run. Although the visuals from Everest are stunning, awe gives way to sorrow for the family members left behind, and unease over the life-threatening risks forced upon the Sherpas for a sponsor-backed adventure.
