A missed opportunity to tell a true story

Rating: 5/10 (24 October 2015)

***SPOILERS***
Unfortunately it's almost always the same case with true stories turned into Hollywood movies: many facts missing. on the other hand this movie can also be view as "boring" to people who don't know the story in more details.
This movie has great actors in numbers but very few get the chance to develop their characters properly. Rob's and Beck's stories are told in depth but all other characters including Scott, Anatoli and the Sherpas remain very short and superficial.
A lot of things went bad that day and a lot of bad decisions have been made but i felt the focus was taken from the true heroes and focused on the wrong characters. you can argue a lot about who made the worst decisions among the teams leaders but at the end of the day you have one team who got 2 guides and several clients dead and the other team who got 1 dead guide but all clients saved, 3 of them saved by Anatoli who climbed back several times to drag climbers off the mountain.
The shootings where great but overall it was disappointing.
