one would have thought that a movie about climbing mount everest would have been chock full of adventure. there were some, here and there, but it is largely lacking excitement. or maybe director baltasar kormakur intended it to be a slow burn, only that it is too slow to the point of no fire. it's a true story of an adventure-mountaineering company who takes people up to the great mountain, despite preparations and experience of the guides, it was a tragedy when so many of them died when they couldn't descend the mountain as fast and as soon as they should.
the mountain can be conquered, but it is temperamental. it also means, the difference between life and death.
