It's a very well-made film with great shots of the mountain, which gives a feel for what it's like to climb up the mountain. Two tour guides on the mountain, one who will only take experienced climbers, and one who will take less experienced people, join forces to get up the mountain.
Unfortunately preparations were not made correctly, and unexpected weather and physical illness causes multiple tragedies.
I thought the cast were all good, it looks like a terrifying climb and possibly not something which should be offered as a tour, something of a cautionary tale along the lines of Jurassic Park. Some of the climbers had to be abandoned on the mountain, but one of the abandoned survived.
Acting is good, photography is very good, an interesting glimpse of what it's like to climb Everest.
