Everest is Definitely Worth The Climb (Movie Review)

everest So let me first start off by saying that I am NOT a fan of 3D in movies.  I’ve found that 3D actually tends to make the picture darker than it should be and less defined.  Outside of the classic Michael Jackson short “Captain Eno,” I’ve yet to see an instance where it didn’t annoy me for some reason.  Now, having said that, Everest is definitely the kind of movie that is enhanced by 3D.  There are sweeping shots that capture massive scope and depth that I think you will loose with the regular format.  The filmmakers definitely took the time to make sure that the 3D was used for more than just some guy poking you in the face with a stick.  This is the type of movie that really tries to create an olfactory experience.  Every element is designed specifically to give you the feeling that you’re right there with them.  Take the music for example; the film opens with a slow deep Cello that evokes the feeling of struggle and loneliness.  Fast-forward to when they arrive in Nepal and it switches to local Nepalese folk music. And when all of the climbers are gathered together at the base of the mountain to train, you hear classic 90’s jams such as “This is How we Do it” by Montell Jordan that INSTANTLY take you back to that time.
