Review of Everest (2015) by Henry A — 25 Jan 2016
A film about the 1996 Mount Everest disaster which was dramatised. Even the best-selling writer of Into Thin Air, Jon Krakauer - the real man of the character - said that the film is a complete 'bull'. I dislike the film, because it didn't 'get' me. The film tried to 'get' me into the character, disaster, and the emotion. But, as the story went, it didn't gave a great conclusion. The film only gave us the conclusion of the characters - not the world's reaction of the disaster. What kind of film, which is based on a real global news, turned into a dramatised and fake-looking thing?
The assemble cast didn't quite good. Each of the actors and actresses didn't do their full potential of the character.
The film was made with a great landscape cinematography, because most of it was shot on a real location. Like the airport, the path to the basecamp, and also the Everest Base Camp. The rest of it was shot in a studio.
The verdict:
The film had a great cinematography, a great story, a great character, and some great places to shoot. But, the filmmakers only realised the cinematography and the places.
