I remember that years ago it was unthinkable for someone to climb the Everest, however for a couple of years it has become more common for people to land on one of the highest points in the world, in fact right now there are companies that make guided tours where tourists are assured to travel all the way to the top of the immense mountain. Well, the film I want to share with you today shows us all that journey to the top of that mountain.

The whole plot of the film is very similar to that of a documentary where we can go step by step discovering the different stages that different people have to take in their desire to climb the top of the Everest, a process that becomes somewhat tedious because of how detailed it is since it lets us see from the beginning the preparation and everything behind such a journey.

Through this film we will be able to live in a detailed way each complicated path and full of difficulties that two groups of tourists had to overcome to progressively overcome the challenge so great that means to climb to the top of the Everest, a challenge not easy and that despite having had to face it with the help of a group of experts was really extreme, to the point that not all achieved it. The plot of the film is developed in a somewhat slow pace, and as I mentioned is because it is built around an atmosphere of documentary where we can see all the logistics behind a mission as complicated as climbing the Everest, and perhaps that's why the scenes become not so enjoyable, because they become somewhat tedious by the amount of unimportant moments that are used, moments that do not contribute anything and that only serve to lengthen a plot that from the beginning seemed long.

Undoubtedly the plot is not a problem in this film because it has very good moments, but on many occasions those moments are completely obscured by those endless scenes where we end up with nothing, scenes that stand out for the incredible camera work and visual effects but that at the argumental level do not follow the pattern of the plot.

I can't say that I hate the film because I would undoubtedly see it again, but I will say that I hate the path it took in the end because it ruined the good things the plot had achieved and accentuated the plot problems. At the end of the film it seems that the plot holes grew and ended up deflating a very good movie that perhaps could have offered us something better.

Undoubtedly the best part of the film is that, the creative part because it gives us an excellent atmosphere that manages to resonate our senses through the recreation of a mountain like Everest. #
