    More stars if you like climbing

    Decent enough action climbing movie. Great cinematography and scenery. Technically well done, at least in my opinion. I'm no climber. On the downside the female lead's motivation to try something extreme is a little like watching a horror movie knowing the characters will stick their head into the maw of a monster even though it makes no sense. Movie people being movie people. But, we finished it and pretty much enjoyed it and liked the characters well enough. Not great but decent. And, if you like climbing scenery, etc., it's even better.

    Visually lovely

    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.

    AWWWFULLLLLLLL

    This movie is like the skin that forms over pudding. You know what I'm talking about. Either you love pudding skin or you hate it. I waited and waited for this movie to be OK, but it did not happen. Because this movie is silly and dumb and the musical score made feel a sensation quite like marbles slamming against my skull.

    Then the movie ended.

    Worst movie ever made

    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!

    Great Movie if a bit fanciful

    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 .
