IMAX's 'Everest' is absolutely breathtaking! Watching the mountaineers (including Arcaeli Segarra who eventually became the first woman from Spain to scale Mt. Everest) climb the mountain despite the harsh conditions- which took the lives of so many was all at once tragic and touching, yet also exhilarating. Notwithstanding the wonderful soundtrack of George Harrison's music, 'Everest' was (at the least) simply a panoramic pleasure!

Incredible that all the equipment was lugged up Everest

There have been videocassettes made about Everest journeys, but you have to be in the theatre to see the huge screen and in living, giant color, to see the dangers these people undertook and sometimes lost their lives. Touching, moving, great show.

It was especially good because I got to see this film with a lecture beforehand by the director with his own personal slides and antecdotes. A neat movie.

What a story!

Great video with harsh conditions. Captured the beauty of the mountains. Did not fully capture the extreme conditions that exist. Or, how and why mountaineers climb mountains.

Everest was the first IMAX I ever saw and I was awestruck. The making of it and the production and the real life drama was spellbinding. IMAX is a wonderful new way to present media.

Although I have seen this film twice I have to say I wasn't really that impressed with it. Yes, the scenery is absolutely fantastic and the feats that they take you through are incredible but I just feel like I've seen better documentary's about Everest. Definitely worth seeing for the images but not necessarily the most informative, I think this one kinda rode the coattails of the Into Thin Air and the whole disaster on Everest

This is a spectacular film about the disastrous climb up Mount Everest that is also the subject of the book Into Thin Air. Seeing this film in the IMAX theater adds so much to the experience. (I also rented the film, but it just is not nearly as good on normal television.) I saw the IMAX film after reading Into Thin Air and The Climb (the latter is a book about the same expedition written by a member of one of the other groups on the mountain). The film was an excellent supplement to the books. It was particularly eerie watching climbers traverse seemingly bottomless chasms only using ladders tied together by rope. A wonderful film that is definitely worth seeing in the theaters.
