Ok. Let me start by saying I am part of AMC Alist and thusbi go watch every movie that comes out. And I mean all of them. I use it as a way to turn my brain off and just sit back and suspend my thoughts and enjoy the show.
But this movie was just so badly thought out. The main characters should have died of from anything else just their shear stupidly.
I can believe a director makes a movie about climbing and has the leads wear climbing harnesses the entire movie, but are only ever clipped in for a few seconds of the movie. I'm couldn't stop wanting to scream at the screen to clip yourself in you dumbass. They don't clip in while climbing. The don't belay themselves down when they need to (they just hold the rope and climb down the rope). They don't clip in when they are being lifted up. They don't clip in when they reach the top and are just standing on a 5ft square platform. They don't tie themselves off to the tower when they try to sleep so they could just easily roll off (I mean have they at least not watched Hunger Games once).
Look I get these types of movies are just going for the oh my God they can fall at any second type feelings, but you can have that and still make it seem at least somewhat believable.
I definitely wouldn't waste money paying to see this one. I'd either wait until it came out on HBO, etc or go see it if you have the Alist type memberships and it doesn't cost you anything.
