I’ve had this on my watchlist since I saw it in blockbuster many years back and just didn’t get around to watching till now. RIP blockbuster.

Well the film didn’t let me down, the rope was strong on this one and it was fun to watch and tense at times and definitely had me climbing with the great cast, action, picture and script.

RIP Bill Paxton, he’ll live in his films.

Can’t really figure out why they thought bringing nitro glycerin was a good idea. So they think they’ve found the survivors, ok let’s now detonate nitro where they are? Um, avalanche? destabilizing the crevasse? As if the movie wasn’t anxiety inducing enough :flushed:

Snow Covered Film Review

With winter winding down I have been celebrating the last of a very long winter with some snow movies - Winter in Wartime, Alaska, and Vertical Limit.

This film, like Alaska, I had watched when it first came out but didn’t really remember much of it, so I watched it again in a high def on my big screen and that of course makes a big difference when you are watching all the breathtaking scenery of mountain climbers battling the elements!

This is a really exciting action film, and so far t I think has stood the test of time (it is now 13 years old!) Sure it is not perfect, I am sure it is full of inaccuracies and some of the effects at the begging were giveaway. But I like that at the heart of it is a brother stopping at nothing and putting himself in harms way to constantly save his sister.

7/10 (Good)
