With story lines, motivations, and names strongly echoing the basic threads of Into Thin Air, this movie makes for an entertaining watch. Of course, purists will tell you that the climbing is not credible, etc. etc. but then again, neither are aeronautics in Star Wars, North African life in Casablanca, or archeology in Raiders of the Lost Ark. With excellent mountaineering skills at play there would not be falls, near-misses, plots or anything else worthy of an action flick here ! So: enjoy the action, the guts of the producing team in producing a mountaineering thriller (a rare genre) with excellent photography, but only listen to the pros insofar as not using any of what you see here in real life.
