Himalaya

1st hour of this movie is so good, it has all things that can make this movie reach the top.

However, after 1st hour, the plot try to make more drama, yes it too too much, till this movie gone bad.

If it can keep the 1st hour pace, it could have become over 7.5/10.

Beautiful scenery in a beautiful humanity story. The himalayas made them see their real self as truly human being where compassion naturally arises in hardship.

My opinion---

This movie is above all a human drama, set with extraordinary shots and scene of courage and solidarity which in high mountain is absolutely necessary. I liked the movie very much, because there is humor at the beginning, then the dramatic story and finally the giant that is the Everest. Finally the exploit of all these mountaineers. The movie is very well done and this story is based on a true story that will make you love this beautiful movie. A movie to be discovered by the sumptuous images offered by Everest

Less exploitative than 2015's Everest, this is impressively photographed, and it tells an interesting story (Sherpas searching for the body of their friend, following an accident which took his life), but it is uneven (largely a buddy movie) and it's so depressing to know that it is about a real death, and more people risking their own lives out of respect for their dead friend's remains. The filmmakers tried to counter that with humorous scenes of them bonding, unsuccessfully.

Film is not *bad*, just mediocre, and depressing. Surprisingly, this Korean release made considerably more money in Korea than the new Star Wars did.

Good, believable performances by the actors. Has some nicely done moments of emotion. Based on true events.
