Nova - Everest: The Death Zone Reviews
Your head is in the jet stream
This documentary is really wonderful. But not wonderful for the glory of the conquest but showing just how deadly and treacherous this climb really is. Whether you are a wealthy wannabe or an experienced mountain climber it is beyond my conprehension why any sane person would want to endanger his or her life like that. Where's the glory in being drug up to the top like a sack of potatoes? It's almost sinful to play with your life in this way when there is no earthly reason to be there.
The camera work is breathtaking. But it was painful to watch those climbers virtually dying in front of our eyes. This NOVA is a real eye opener for respecting the one life you have been given.
Very Realistic - Great Scenes
The most realistic film ever made about climbing Everest, you actualy see the camps, the climbing, some tests they take to measure the impact of high altitude on them, some good scenes of the Hillary Steps, also of the South Col and of course of the summit. They also point the place where Rob Hall is buried and you got to taste what a emergency in high altitude look like when one of the climbers gets in trouble on the way down. David Breashears and Ed Viesturs give you a good insight on what is climbing the everest in this movie
Compare to the IMAX movie, this one is more realistic with more scenes of the mountain and the actual climbing although the image as espected is worst. If you are interested in watching the real thing, this movie is as close as you can get.
