There are a few instances where it’s obvious the actors are working on sets, but for the most part the combination is seamless, and I found myself wanting to check out the 1998 documentary Everest that shot on the mountain using actual IMAX film cameras instead of the remastering process used here.
Still, this Everest can’t match the spectacle of the seminal 1999 IMAX documentary that is based in part on the same story.
(The events chronicled in Everest were previously depicted in a 1998 documentary of the same name.
One got a similar feeling watching the 1998 IMAX documentary, also titled Everest, but Kormákur's movie places you not just on the mountain but inside a story, inside characters' heads and inside human bodies as oxygen levels drop and extremities freeze.
The mountain in question is no stranger to the bigscreen, and viewers hoping to see it in all its glory might do well to start with a documentary like the landmark 1998 Imax film “Everest” or 2010’s “The Wildest Dream: Conquest of Everest.”
Or remade, since the story was broached with more immediacy in the 1998 IMAX doc, also titled Everest, that survived the freak blizzard dramatized here.
