♥♥♥♥♥

Overall, a decent documentary

"Everest" has some beautiful shots and is generally of high quality, but it really simplifies the climbers' perspectives in most of the interviews. What is amazing, however, is the interview with one of the climbers who was in one of the groups affected by the storm. He explains what it is like to believe that you are dead, and how he dealt with the amputation of both of his hands (due to frostbite).

It's suitable for a wide range of audiences and the shots are incredible, but not on par with Blue Planet or Winged Migration. If you are looking for a quality documentary and do not have specific subject matter in mind, I would recommend them instead.
