I loved this movie! Yes, there were some inconsistencies and you ask yourself how could these 2 girls get themselves into this situation? But, as with most thrill seeking movies you look past that and just enjoy.
First, a bit about the actual climbing. Aside from watching Alex Honnold videos, I know next to nothing about climbing. However, even with my complete lack of knowledge on the subject I was able to spot some very questionable climbing techniques in this movie, or stretches in what's really possible. I can understand why some of the reviewers who have experience in climbing may have been turned off by this movie.
With that said, the visuals and camera work were fantastic. My hands were sweaty throughout most of the movie watching these girls climb. It was hard to watch while imagining yourself being up this high. I was so amazed out how well this movie was shot that I researched the making of this movie on YouTube.
The backstory of these two girls relationship is somewhat intriguing also. There's more to the movie than just finding out if they survive their ordeal.
If you love sitting on the edge of your seat through most of the movie then this is a great watch. Certainly not for the faint of heart when it comes to extreme heights!
