'Everest': Just a stroll up a hill . . .

Posted by Billy Wonka on September 25, 2015 at 18:42:03:
This well acted ensemble showed us the motivation and training necessary to get really high. Despite man's best laid plans Mother Nature usually finds a way to win.

This film was wisely turned into an ensemble affair which allows the story to tell a more comprehensive account of what happened and who was affected. The cinematography was pretty gorgeous and lends itself to the new "Adult 3-D" category of spectacles.

Jason Clarke and Josh Brolin seemed to be a bit more front and center in the story as they were allowed to develop their characters somewhat more than the others. During the climb and subsequent storm we see the efforts and failures of the men involved and are reminded "ultimate challenges" aren't for everyone including Clarke's character who had been to the top five times before.

This is a perfect knuckle-dragging movie that even the S.O. would like since there is a heavy female investment in the cast.

Sit at the top of the theater to get the full effect.
