5.0 out of 5 stars Everest, (Miramax), 25 Jul 2004
By Bryan Benn (Kent , United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Obtained from Canada via Amazon UK as there seems to be no PAL version available, the first test was to see that the DVD would play on multi standard equipment, which it did. Thankfully so, as this high budget production filmed in May 1996 has given us a really top quality programme about Everest. Good scene setting before the climbing starts, and then breathtaking visuals when the climbers were on the mountain. The role that the team who made the film played in helping those caught up in the May 10th disaster comes over well. With that enormous budget at risk it is heartening to see that was put second to trying to help save human life when the chips were really down. The superb quality of the filming continues right up to the summit successes, which is perhaps no surprise as those wonderful Sherpas took not only their usual loads up Everest, but also the 42 pound IMAX camera! For the summit that allowed just one 90 second film cartridge to be shot, every second of which is said to be in the 45 minute programme. There is more than that length of extremely interesting Bonus material which includes an extended interview with Beck Weathers, a survivor from May 10th, who made what may be one of the most miraculous "returns from the dead" seen in any walk of life. Watching that interview it wasn't just Beck who was choking back the tears. Excellent video diaries from the three main climbers are included within the Bonus material as is sufficient material deleted from the main programme to raise the question as to why it wasn't used to extend the 45 minute finished product by a few more minutes. And that is the only possible way I can see this programe could have been improved.

1.0 out of 5 stars 'Hyperrealistic' - you said it., 20 Jun 2008
By M. P. Lewis - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The producer, Greg MacGillivray, said this is "the most hyperrealistic format yet invented": for a start this is a contradiction in terms. Why do the Americans have to always make a drama out of a documentary? If they can't make a decent documentary without embellishing and dramatizing it then please could they leave documentary making to the experts - the BBC. This is tackier than Mr. McTacky on an especially tacky day. Don't bother!
