Everest | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

A hard watch...however, these emotions are heightened by the excellent work of actors and cinematography, who make the mammoth, deadly mountain and its treacherous conditions come to life through the screen.

It isn’t a brash, bombastic popcorn flick. It isn’t a by-the-books ‘real events’ movie. Sure, it has its big name ensemble cast and its share of visual ‘wow’ moments. But at the same time it felt small, concise, and restrained.

Marketed like a thrilling disaster film yet playing like a respectful drama, "Everest" still carries the sheen of every other Hollywood mountain climbing movie while offering enough of an eulogistic history lesson to be respectful of its true story.

The viewer truly feels transported atop Everest, dizzied by the heights, beauty, and impressive scope of the scenery, which only further immerses us in this effective tale of daring and survival.
