Go and see it

Rating: 8/10 (12 October 2015)

Ever since I found out that there is going to be a movie about 1996 disaster, I was thrilled. I had just read "Into thin air" by J. Krakauer, one of the survivors, and I was so moved by it, that I wanted to learn something more. And when I read that this movie won't be entirely based on this book, I was even happier because it meant new perspective.
I have to say - Jason Clarke was the perfect choice. I didn't know him before, I had seen only "Zero Dark Thirty", but that was it. At first I actually hoped, that Jake Gyllenhaal will have a bigger role, just because I knew what to expect from him. But Jason really shined as Rob and his and Keira's conversations touched me.
It was beautifully filmed, the sound effects were fantastic, and, since I had read the book, I had almost no problem to identify the characters. The only thing that I wanted to change was that I wanted to know more about others as well. Rob was the only one I actually cared about, and I don't think that was only my problem - it's just that the others didn't capture my attention.
Overall it was a beautiful movie, but I don't think that 3D is necessary.
