Gripped: Climbing the Killer Pillar

Good plot , well acted , climbing realistic enough ! Possibly based on a true story , being a climber myself ! Disasters constantly happen every day. Good Covid lockdown movie .

The characters were likable and you got a sense of romance developing here. Would of liked the storyline to include the other characters and what they got up to. Could have made a series out of this easy.

Pitty that the overuse of the same footage of the rock dominated the half the film. hmm... i thought they just did that bit etc.

If youre looking for something like the gritty thrills of "Everest" and "oh my god!" then this isnt it. Darn shame there wasnt enough danger, otherwise this film would have been great. Also hero guy was bit of a wuss and felt like giving him a slap in the end lol. Should have fallen off, had dilema and have her lose a finger or something.

Anyway, lovely scenery... expansive.

p.s. film producers, make this into a series with the same actors and start again!

Look, it's a low-budget movie, we know that. It doesn't have the craziness of a movie like Cliffhanger, or the real world insanity of Free Solo.

But for a low budget movie, let's be fair. It's well done, it maintains tension all the way through, it looks gorgeous, and it's about as realistic as a movie like this really can be. (Sure the female lead has fewer upper body muscles than one would expect, on the other hand she is supposed to be just starting and basically a city girl, too naive to realize how dumb she is being.) I've seen plenty of much more expensive action movies that left me a lot more disappointed.

Great scenery, acting and lessons to be learned throughout the movie.

A lovely romantic-drama. 10/10.

First, i am a rock climber. Everything related to climbing in this movie is beyond ridiculous and hilarious. There is so much so say about it that i will just pass because it is impossible to say how insanely irrealistic and awful.

But that is not why i pit a bad rating. No! It is because the entire movie is so bad EVEN if you completely disregard the « climbing » that again one is speechless: the clichés, the bad acting and plot, the relentless continuity errors, the shots that don't match, the real climbers with cheap wigs, and on an on and on. But it was a solid laugh!
