REVIEW:
Climbing Mount Everest takes courage, strength, and lots of equipment. Even with all of the necessary requirements, though, things can still go awry on the world's tallest mountain. "Everest," from director Baltasar Kormákur, tells the true story of one such event. In 1996, a group of climbers on an expedition to the top of the mountain ended up facing a severe snow storm that tests them all in more ways than one. The beginning was slow, having the film itself take a bit before becoming investing. The ending of the movie, ironically enough, is very rushed and wraps things up too quickly for the audience to fully process what just happened. Having said that, I would still recommend checking out "Everest." The acting work is strong all around though Jake Gyllenhaal is severely underused in the movie, the visuals are stunning, and the 3D is very good. It's not necessarily worth paying extra for "The IMAX 3D Experience," but the 3D is a lot better than most post-converted movies to come out these days. I can't say this is something one should rush out to see, but if it's still playing in theaters around you, or if you're just looking for a beautiful 3D movie to watch just for kicks, then this is one that I'd say is worth seeing.

Hello viewers of this blog,
Due to recent comments of spam and profanity present from obnoxious kids who think they are the funniest people in the world, I would like to request that the comments posted here are in good taste, meaning that they have no Anti-Semitic remarks, profanity, sexual innuendo, or any insults to myself. You can criticize the review and give pointers on how to make them better, but how about we be adults about this. Ok? Thank you, and have a nice day.
