Mindblown by the movie and human stupidity

Rating: 8/10 (10 November 2015)

This movie needs no reviews whatsoever. It is an amazing piece of work! All the actors, the setting, the directing, everything was as good as they get! I am not a fan of climbing and the related stories, but if I was, this would easily get a 9/10!
All the actors portrayed their characters in the best possible way and I especially loved Jason Clarke, Jake Gyllenhaal and Josh Brolin who's becoming one of my favorites of late!
On top of everything, thinking that this is an actual true story, gives you the chills. It's an easy going movie in the beginning when they begin the ascent, but as it progresses things get really tense and you're actually in the edge of your seat!
Although I am having a hard time understanding why these people spend 65.000 to put themselves in danger or even die, is beyond me. Not the reasons but the stubborn way in which they pursue their dream without even having the right physical condition for it.
Anyway, I think that merely the fact that I do feel like that, irritated, impressed, annoyed, etc. shows that this movie will certainly not leave you indifferent. It's a movie that gets you discussing and thinking about things which I think is the ultimate goal of every movie!
