    • Trivia
      A huge blizzard hit Mt. Everest during filming. Eight people died, and nearly two dozen were trapped on the mountain. The blizzard and its aftermath are the basis for Into Thin Air: Death on Everest (1997). Expedition members interrupted filming to aid the stricken climbers.
    • Quotes

      Paula Viesturs: The difference between me and Ed is... when we go for a 5-hour bike ride, I call it a workout. He calls it a warm-up.

    Loved it.
    I have to disagree, I found this amazing to watch, I mean come on! All you have to do is See Mount Everest and I get all googly-eyed.

    I thought the photography was incredible, and the information on how they get there and why they are helping the geologist is fascinating to a "civilian" like me, which is who the movie is for.

    If you are a true climber then sure I can imagine it might disappoint, but I'm not sure why.

    This isn't supposed to be the final word on what Everest is like, it's a picture of the ascent of one team, and what it takes to get there.

    After seeing this gorgeous film I want to try for Everest myself in a few years. Rarely do movies inspire me, but this one did.

    Go Imax!
