Review of Everest (2015) by The3Academysins — 21 Dec 2017

Everest is a technically sound film and sports a great cast, but ultimately, clunky writing causes the film to become undone. There are too many characters to keep track of, and this problem is made harder by poor characterization and poor relationships between the characters.

We are never given a reason to care about them or their expedition. Some dramatic moments are completely undercut by poor directorial choices in addition to the poor writing choices. It's an entertaining watch, but is held back from true greatness and comes off as a paper-thin adventure movie.
