mvie-Everest: Breathtaking and Well Done

Mon, 19 Apr 2004 08:59:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cpvon2004 - I have always enjoyed the Imax movies and the feeling that I am really "there." I doubt in my lifetime I will ever climb Mt. Everest, and this movie was the next best thing to being there. I especially enjoyed the fantastic photography. One scene is...

mvie-Everest: It hits the heights!

Mon, 15 Apr 2002 17:00:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cassady - This is an adroit mix of adventure, spectacle, history and real-life drama, with an engaging cast of real people caught up in a circumstance beyond their control. One of the best IMAX productions ever.

mvie-Everest: Everest-An IMAX Masterpiece

Wed, 24 Oct 2001 00:54:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author iriknet - Everest was an exceptional film. Clearly stated. From the beginning it is amazing. Shot with specialized IMAX cameras and detailing a backstory and the recent expedition a few years ago to reach the top, the film was grand in the full sense of the...

mvie-Everest: I Know what they cut out!!

Mon, 16 Jul 2001 18:47:31 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ahigdon - Here is what you missed:

1. The movie follows 3 people up Mt. Everest. They reach the top, carrying 1/3 of their starting gear. The guy filming them did the same climb carrying a giant freaking movie camera!!! I want to see how he managed...

mvie-Everest: Everest is forever memorable

Sat, 19 May 2001 14:21:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author joeiyie - This movie is just so amazing. It is one of those movies that makes you think, wow, and just has this major impact on you. When you finish watching it, you are jsut amazed. I was there with 3 of my friends and at the end we were just sitting there in...

mvie-Everest: You'll need a jacket to watch this

Fri, 23 Mar 2001 00:41:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Javelina - Of IMAX movies, this is the kind of thing to see. It's not 3-D, but it's still a great film to see on the big BIG screen, and they definitely picked a great story and place.

This is both eye-candy and a good story to get into. It begins with...

mvie-Everest: Fantastic views, nauseating camera work

Thu, 22 Feb 2001 14:46:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Steph76 - It was really amazing to sit back in the seats of a steeply angled theater and almost "feel" what it was like to climb Mount Everest. While the film gave great visuals, its attempts to let us get to know the climbers weren't as effective as they could...

mvie-Everest: Would you take a child to see it

Sat, 9 Dec 2000 01:58:40 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author pritmit - I took a 13 year old and I took a 65 year old with me on the trip to Everest. Both were moved, but the 13 year old for some reason didn't get that people were really dead. He hasn't seen too many documentaries, and wasn't as ready to accept that those...

mvie-Everest: Really Into Thin Air

Thu, 23 Nov 2000 13:33:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rpacatte - After reading Jon Krakauer's book INTO THIN AIR, I was very interested in seeing this film.

EVEREST did not disappoint me; I felt like it dovetailed very well with the visual images Krakaurer's story produced in my mind and the generous and...

mvie-Everest: Hillary's Folly

Mon, 6 Nov 2000 23:12:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Dennari - What other reason is there to climb Mount Everest than that it's there? While only experienced climbers are supposed to attack the slopes of the tallest mountain in the world, this IMAX film allows anyone to experience the mystery and the danger that is...

mvie-Everest: wooo! like you're there!

Sat, 14 Oct 2000 17:06:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Anniemal - I went to watch this at the Franklin Institute a few years ago, and it was pretty good. The chairs and the theater were situated so that you felt like you were with the expedition up Everest. It felt very real, and i even got butterflies in my tummy!...

mvie-Everest: Breathtaking, Life-changing....

Mon, 4 Sep 2000 03:08:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author NoniaBidnis - I did not expect this movie to have the impact on me that it did. I have wanted to see it for a long time, and had caught part of it when it was shown on television relatively recently. I was really not prepared to be so effected by this movie.

mvie-Everest: Suprizingly, not a cold responce

Fri, 18 Aug 2000 16:21:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CincoDeMayo86 - I saw Everest for the first time in Baltimore, about two years ago. I was amazed by the camera work. In an Imax theatre, you really feel like you’re on the mountain. Parts of it, I was afraid that I was about to fall into a deep bottomless pit, or down...

mvie-Everest: Highly Reccomend

Thu, 29 Jun 2000 16:55:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Zrike - If you have never seen an Imax movie, I would highly recommend to start with this one. It definitely ranks up there in my top favorite movies. It tells a story of the journey to the top of Mt. Everest. It shows how one man is determined to follow his...

mvie-Everest: "Dedication"

Fri, 16 Jun 2000 00:19:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author eyans_nyc - This film was very emotional for me just for the fact that I read the book High Exposure first and became familiar with the characters thoughts. I envied all of the climbers on the mountain for following their dreams. The dedication presented by these...

mvie-Everest: A Spectacular World of Ice

Sun, 28 May 2000 23:13:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author TaZZZkitty - This movie, like all I-Max movies, is filled with spectacular views of areas most people will never get to see. The film follows a team of mountain climbers as they trek their way up the worlds tallest mountain.

You'll see up close the perils of...

mvie-Everest: On Mount Everest what an experience

Thu, 25 May 2000 23:39:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author igotit - Everest is the most educational experience you will ever go through. IMAX has put together a very informative piece on Mount Everest. It is very educational and great for a class trip. Visit your neighborhood IMAX theatre to experience the joy.

mvie-Everest: A Life Experience

Mon, 1 May 2000 18:44:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author balaams - When I went to see Everest I was prepared for a roller-coaster ride of avalanches, stomach churning drops and crevasses and the accent firmly on the adrenaline side of mountaineering. Whilst there is certainly enough of this sort of content to keep most...

mvie-Everest: Perfect

Mon, 24 Apr 2000 21:15:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author LegalOpinion - From the very beginning scenes of mountain bikers traveling along canyon edges to climbers scaling and descending tall peaks, the imagery is fantastic. However, the true potential of the IMAX format is untold until the scenes of Everest. The mountain's...

mvie-Everest: Great visuals, but not much else

Sat, 15 Apr 2000 19:06:21 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author -Bak- - If you want to see a movie just for it's visuals then this is for you, but if your looking for something a bit more enticing than I suggest seeing some of the other IMAX movies.

When I walked into the IMAX theatre I was stunned by the...

mvie-Everest: Everest DVD: Disney Finally Gets DVD right!

Sun, 9 Apr 2000 22:31:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author adamantine - Since Everest came out, I have had the privilege to see it in three different formats. First, I saw it as it was meant to be seen, in an Imax theater. The second time I saw it on TNT. And finally I have gotten to see it on DVD. And each time I have...

mvie-Everest: Visual Feast

Sat, 8 Apr 2000 23:51:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author 12Martians - Pure visual eye candy. Really communicates the ardors and the strategies used to climb Everest. If you've never seen an IMAX movie, this one will do right. Some IMAX movies are real duds, offering little in the way of plot, education, or even visual...

mvie-Everest: Everest: Beyond the Thin Air

Tue, 4 Apr 2000 08:42:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author m001 - If you've read Krakauer's superb Into Thin Air then you must make an attempt to see Everest, a breathtaking film that takes full advantage-- as far as both content and execution are concerned--of the IMAX format. As has been well...

mvie-Everest: Beauty in Snow form

Wed, 15 Mar 2000 19:10:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Teaspoon - This was the second greatest IMAX film I’ve ever seen. The big screen effect was enough to send chills running through me. I sat there shivering through so much of the film. This was truly a magnificent film. I hope everyone takes time to see it...

mvie-Everest: A truly visceral experience

Wed, 8 Mar 2000 20:42:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author liz_amelia - Why? Why? Why? I repeated this question in my mind as I left the IMAX theater. What drives a person to fight for success when the odds appear insurmountable? When the adversary is bigger than yourself? Beyond your control?

As a mountaineer, I...
