My sympathy most certainly goes out to those and the families involved in this event based on fact. The movie has a good cast and is gripping however I found it difficult to understand why anyone would do this, especially a father with dependents and this made it difficult watching. Everest has been done and this type of tourism is dangerous, it does however show facts clearly, everyone is normal and are doing this because of the adventurous human spirit. It does indeed show the sad side effect of doing something like this for the sake of doing it. $65000 to climb Everest, if you want to be a hero I'm sure that money would save lives elsewhere. In that respect this movie has indeed succeed in showing us how lives can be carelessly thrown away.

The hype surrounding this movie made we want to go see a fantastic action drama with awesome camera work.I didn't get any of it.Characters were shallow and the chance to show us a 3D spectacle were hopelessley missed.I felt I didn't care about the rich people wanting to do something real and felt as if there wasn't enough in the story about the local people or way of life.Not so much a disaster movie as a disaster.So much potential wasted .
