Summary: No DVD?!
Review: I sure hope that the distributors of this film plan to release this in DVD. I saw this in the Hackworth IMAX Theater in San Jose and it was breathtaking; even more so since this is a domed theater, unlike the usually huge, flat IMAX screens elsewhere. I shall await for the DVD version of this film instead of wasting my money on 1970s technology-VHS. <yawn>

Summary: Just Ok
Review: I thought that "Everest" was an OK documentry on climbing MT. Everest. Because it didn't tell about how you had to co up to the different camps many times before going to the summit as documented in a NOVA special I saw.

Summary: This is by far the best documentary I have ever seen.
Review: Before seeing "Everest" at the IMAX, I read Jon Krakauer's book "Into Thin Air". It moved me to promptly see "Everest", twice. In addition to developing a reverence for the beauty and mystery of the mountain, I could almost feel both the sheer physical agony and sense of intense triumph that the IMAX expedition experienced in their quest to summit Everest.If you have ever dreamed of accomplishing something great in your life, this will inspire you. This is a brilliant film.

Summary: This is an answer to the viewer in Rhode Island
Review: They literally packed the film and cameras up the mountain with them as they climbed Everest and shot the film on location. carrying all the equipment with them, along with their backpacks, and other gear. So you can really say that this film, although the video may not match the IMAX experience, was done as a labor of love, the hard way. I should also say that this film, once seen will be hard to forget!

Summary: A testimony to human endurance
Review: Having seen this film in it's IMAX format was almost a spiritual experience. My recommendation for first time viewers wuold be to read either Into Thin Air, or The Climb then veiw the film to truly apppreciate the enormity of such a task as climbing the tallest mountain on Earth. It is truly a testimony to human endurance. earth

Summary: Everest Done Right
Review: Great scenery...fantastic music...nice little story line...but most important of all shows the contrast between an ill-prepared ,ill-concieved attempt to climb Everest(when the Hall-Fisher led groups met with disaster) and the well prepared, level headed I-Max "Dream Team of climbing did it right. I would have liked to been on the recieving end of one of those Araceli Segarra hugs when she got back to base camp. My only complaint is that the movie wasn't twice as long.

Summary: One of the most entertaining documentaries ever
Review: With Imax, three words always ring true... YOU ARE THERE. Everest is truly no exception. Seeing the spirit behind a climb up the world's tallest mountain is incredible. There is a lot of psychological strain involved with this climb; just looking into one of the endless crevasses gets me nervous and I'm watching on a TV screen. This is definitely a film that belongs in many collections. Go ahead, buy the thing already!
