Review: The movie didn’t reach my expectations. The cast put in great performances that includes Sam Worthington. The cinematography was well shot with great CGI. The ending was a bit emotional. That’s pretty much it . The negatives. The movie was quite long which makes you kind of want to slumber and has a terrible pacing issue. The build up at the start is great. There was no intensity in the danger scenes. There was nothing much on the storytelling.
Recommendation: In the end Everest is a decent movie with really good performances but don’t expect much from the movie like the trailer showed us.
