    Too cheesy for what it is

    I love climbing documentaries and this was by far the hardest one to watch. I'm not sure if it's the film that's trying too hard or Ines that's trying too hard to be inspirational but in the end, the film as a whole just tries too hard. It might even just be the English dub version that overdoes it. While the feat is impressive to say the least, I feel like there was some fabricated obstacle drama involved. One moment on one of their training climbs on a different peak, they're absolutely sure that they can't continue. They have no energy and they're moving too slow. The next moment, they're suddenly inspired and achieving the impossible (that was completely possible). I nearly turned it off before they actually started the eventual Everest ascent. I gave it 5/10 stars but really might change that to 4/10.

    What Great Documentary it is from Inoxtag Youtuber

    I following inoxtag for 6 years ago right now and he is one most famous YouTuber from france but today he is definitely the most talented ever !!!!

    First to all this documentary it is so perfect you see every thing who can do a great documentary like; beautiful pictures, beautiful story and beautiful message and for a first " cinema project " Inoxtag was on fire cause we know everything about the journey the debuts and the movie end of the project, the first thought of each size who will be involving, the bad moments and good moments with absolutely not synopsis or something like every thing was real and do it at 22 years old, I think so you can say " my life it's not cool " if you got 30 or 40 years old ahaaa !!

    You follow every feeling, all issues during the journey like if you was involved in the travel it was crazy, show the moment to give up and moment to be back in order to achieve the objective and show the background and all the preparation of project !!!!

    This documentary it's very inspirational, emotional and too wonderful, with a lot messages from inoxtag about achieve dreams in life, I took pleasure during 2 hours and 20 minutes !!!

    The directing was great, some shoots was very crazy I got the feeling that some shoots was filmed on studio but even not ... cause the work was makes magnificent with a lot of budget alright but the results it's very crazy !!!!

    You want learn about lot of thing in life ? Get inspired? And watch a beautiful journey and find out all the background, this is the documentary that you looking for in the place that you will never go in your life !!!!

    Let's watch it, it worth it, and I hope so this great will be watch from so many people in the world !!!!

    Thank you Inoxtag you're the guy that you think to be one day you will be great again in other field beside YouTube but I think so in cinema industry cause you're so talented ! But that the word doesn't know !

    Thank you Inoxtag you inspired and you will inspire again a lot of people in your life !!!

    Thank you !

    A state of mind

    Inoxtag is a famous French YouTuber with several million subscribers who, one day, realizes his disastrous daily life and decides to change it.

    To do this, he sets out to achieve his dream: climbing Everest. His life over the course of a year is documented with humor, tears, challenges, and powerful human relationships that change us just as they changed Inoxtag.

    This beautifully edited film shows us that no matter our dreams, we can still move forward.

    But this ascent of the highest mountain isn't the focus of the film; Kaizen is a life philosophy in its own right, pushing us to discover new things and improve ourselves day after day, ultimately discovering what "real life" is.

    Very inspiring

    The narrative flow keeps you engaged from start to finish, and the attention to detail in the storytelling is exceptional. Every shot feels purposeful, and you can tell the director had a clear vision throughout the process. The way Kaisen balances the raw reality of the challenges with moments of triumph is truly inspiring.

    The editing also deserves special mention-it's seamless, and the pacing is perfect, allowing the story to unfold naturally while keeping the viewer hooked. The music choices complement the visuals beautifully, enhancing the emotional impact of the journey.

    Overall, Kaisen sets a new standard for YouTubers looking to dive into the world of documentary filmmaking. It's not just a project; it's a masterpiece of dedication, skill, and passion. Anyone aspiring to create their own documentary will have to contend with the high bar this one has set.
