Like the real mountain, this movie is stunning to look at but a little painful to watch. I kept longing for the voice-over guy from The Deadliest Catch to chime in with some compelling back story about the characters or the situation, just to ramp up the tension a little. We don't get much time to get to know the characters; most of their lines are designed mainly to give us information rather than developing their individual personalities. We are left with archetypes: the Loudmouth Texan, the Humble Mailman, the Brash Adventurer, the Careful Tour Guide, the Taciturn Journalist. And then there's the annoying Keira Knightly, on hand with her squeaky mouse voice and her runny nose, to make sure everyone in the audience has a good cry.

I wish the movie had been more about Rob Hall--his hubris and his heroism is really the heart and soul of this story. But you can't have everything in two hours, can you?

Trivia

Some scenes were shot at Pinewood Studios in the United Kingdom, as they didn't always have the right conditions or environment to film in the mountains. At Pinewood, they built a huge see-through box, almost the size of a large house, then cooled the air inside down to below zero. They then imported real snow from Holland to blow into the actors' faces.

Quotes

Rob Hall: Can you just listen up? Guys? We got 2,000 feet, 600 vertical meters to Camp Four. It's roped all the way, so I know you can make it. Now, once we get to the yellow band we're gonna regroup, put on the masks, turn on the gas. Make sense?

Goofs

Lukhla Airport's landing strip was still unpaved in 1996. Renovation of the runway, which included asphalt paving, took place after 2000.
