Two separate readings, not parts of the score β the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.

βThe film's first half is too long, where we anticipate excitement without getting much of any. It's only moderately entertaining, spending most of its time working on characters who don't reveal themselves to be worth spending a whole lot of time with.β

βI quite liked the start of the film, which gives a good background to the impending situation, introducing us to the various characters, their travels in preparation of the Everest climb. The pace was neither especially fast nor achingly slow to start with, although I suppose if you tend to be impatient for the more extreme situations to be portrayed early on then you may find it a bit slow due to the depiction of the general backstory to the expedition but regardless, I didn't find it entirely boring or dullβ

βIt lacks the same constant surprises of last year's "Gravity" or the visual poetry of "Mad Max: Fury Road," but KormΓ‘kur's movie nonetheless marks the rare fusion of effective craftsmanship with focused storytelling.β
Eric Kohn, IndieWire Β· 83
βWith its perilous central premise and gallery of individuals some of whom are destined not to make it, you could say Everest is a disaster movie in the old Hollywood sense of the term, but it doesn't feel like one. And that's a good thing.β

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

β> One of the most realistically approached adventure movie based on the real. I was completely surprised with the movie. Because I was expecting 'Vertical Limit' kind of movie. Like, you know, there's no heroic adventure with the incredible stunt sequences in it. But it was very real and more real. Usually while adapting the true events for the screen, unnecessary overdose stunts created to commercialise the product. But in this it was too much closer to the real world adventure, like a documβ

βI have read dozens of books about mountaineering expeditions, and several about this particular disastrous climbing season, including Jon Krakuerβs bestseller. Overall I think they did a good job depicting the events in this movie, which makes sense, as they used the expertise of Guy Cotter, a climbing and business partner of Rob Hall, one of the expedition leaders in the forefront of this tragedy. They do an adequate job of putting the grandeur of the mountain on display, while still focusinβ

βBased on true events, this rather beautifully shot film tells the story of Kiwi Rob Hall (an adequate Jason Clarke) who ran an exclusive adventure agency that took well-heeled climbers up Mount Everest. In 1996 he decided to team up with accomplished but rather enigmatic mountaineer Scott Fischer (Jake Gyllenhaal). What now ensues are a rather join-the-dot series of predicable escapades as the mountain decides that it's had enough of these messy and polluting human gadflies on it's slopes, and sβ
