• Grab this one! The "45 minutes" doesn't consider the many bonus extras!
  Grab this DVD! If you're one of those who sees a run time of "45 minutes" and that tends to keep you moving on, don't, because there are various bonus extras on the DVD so that 'hours' of viewing is a more equitable consideration.
  First of all and in addition to the 45 minute IMAX film there is the "Making of Everest" which goes into much detail and what happened during filming when the unrelated to the IMAX film 1996 Everest tragedy struck during filming and the effect of that tragedy therein. So too,... more info

• Bafflingly dull -- how was this possible?
  After reading "Into Thin Air" and "The Climb" and a dozen or more online articles, I remember having watched this film -- Brashears comes across as nothing short of a hero in "Into Thin Air" -- how, then, is it possible that this film is so dull?

• how not to photograph climbing mt. everest

• Shortened by the 1996 Disaster
  The reason for three stars instead of five is because this DVD is only about 45 minutes in length. I wanted more. There is the possibility that it was cut short in order to assist in saving lives on Mt. Everest during the 1996 Disaster. If I knew that to be the case I would change my rating to 5 stars with no regrets. I would liked to have seen more filming at the different camps along the way to the summit. Excellent filming but way too short in length and information.
