Everest is another film about the true events that occured in March 1996 when several commercial expeditions arrive at Mount Everest base camp to prepare for a climb to the summit. The storyline focus on Rob Hall, the leader of Adventure Consultants, and his crew. From the moment they started climbing up to the summit, there’s this feeling that something bad is going to happen – probably those who already know the story will not be surprised. It can be a bit slow for the scenes to develop, but those little moments and details around the people and the landscapes will make you take deep breaths and be amazed by the strength of the nature and the hidden instict to survive of the human being.
