The movie is exciting, gripping and emotional. This is more than a movie, its an experience.

"Human beings aren't built to function at the cruising rate of a 747." Rob Hall (Clarke) is one of the world's best guides of Everest. People pay him a lot of money to guide them to the top, and he has succeeded over and over again. What most people don't realize is that making it to the top is only half the battle. This is the true story of the expedition of 1996. This is INTENSE. For anyone wondering how a movie about a group of people climbing can be exciting just watch this and answer it yourself. The movie is exciting, gripping and emotional. The effects are perfect and really add to the experience. You can't help but become connected to every hiker, and there are a lot of them. You hold your breath and find yourself flinching and making the climb with them. It also makes you question why they would put themselves through that, and reinforce your desire not to, at least for me anyway. Overall, this is more than a movie, its an experience. I give this an A-.
