WHY IS THIS MOVIE GETTING SO MANY GOOD REVIEWS?? The characters are so ill-prepared and make so many bad choices they deserve to end up plastered all over the desert floor.
Likes: Great cinematography, the camera shots almost made me sick to my stomach. It really made me feel like I was stuck 2000 feet above the ground and made my heart pound.
The score was beautiful and really enhanced each scene.
Kudos to the makeup department for making the characters look like they were suffering from exposure and dehydration.
Dislikes: SO MANY CLIMBING MISTAKES. For starters, always carry extra rope and equipment. Extra food and water in case of emergency. Fasten your pack to your body correctly. And in no universe is grabbing a pole with one hand going to stop yourself and your friend who is falling from plummeting to your doom. (Well maybe in the Marvel universe but I digress.)
Also the species of vulture shown in this movie is not native to the United States. For that part of California a turkey vulture would be accurate, but even a black vulture would at least be a US species.
Overall not a completely terrible movie but definitely not deserving of so many high reviews.
