Makes my palms sweaty!

Rating: Null/10 (2 March 2016)

This film tells the story of a group of mountaineers who attempts to climb to the summit of the mighty Mount Everest. They encounter a severe snow storm while descending, and their supplies of oxygen runs low, creating a disastrous situation.
The plot is pretty much predictable just from looking at the poster, but fortunately the visuals make it a great film to watch. The mountain landscape is stunning. There are plenty of perilous situations that are life threatening. The constant cliff hanging makes my adrenaline soar, and my palms sweat most of the time during the film! The scene of a Rob talking on the phone with his wife is very touching, because I do feel for Rob's character. However, there are many characters in the film that are poorly developed, such as the Japanese mountaineer, and I don't know much about them to care about them. If the film makes us care for many of the characters, the film would have been a sure tear jerker.
