Probably the most accurate but least compelling account

Rating: 8/10 (28 September 2015)

The best audience for this movie may be people not familiar with the various and varying accounts of the 1996 expeditions. But the cinematography gives you a true feel of the riskiness of the environment: knife edge cornices, 2 foot trails with 5,000 foot drops, the seemingly endless ascent.
Having read most of those aforementioned accounts, the movie makes only brief exposition of the debated critical errors. Some are totally ignored. I was much more emotional reading the accounts. Feeling the gut-wrenching nature of the life and death decision made when an ascent or descent goes wrong. I didn't get that feeling with this movie.
But if you don't want to get into a debate over who made the most mistakes (Boukreev vs. Hall. vs. Fischer vs. Ang Dorje, etc.), it's a very good accounting of the events from the perspective of the Adventure Consultants' camp.
