SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

lucalexe With the Australian Chamber Orchestra doing the music, and Willem Dafoe doing the narration, Mountains (2017) is a delight to the eye and ear. The director embarks us in a cinematic trance, using an incredible essay that depicts the relationship between nature and human perseverance. Portrayed as an eternal fight, this relationship seems to go into extremes at times. A must watch film for any mountain lover.

professorscott As many have said here, they were cognizant of music that didn't fit the project. They're right - it was "dreadful" at least just past the halfway point. I was transfixed by what I was seeing, and tried hard to avoid what I could hear, except of course of the fine work by Willem Dafoe.I loved seeing mountain adventures that went far beyond my imagination. So many ways to climb mountains; climb, ski, mountain biking and jumping off of them~The final 15 minutes was majestic - the music improved and I was very glad to have seen the athleticism of so many young, talented people.

raashi-12711 "To those who are enthralled by mountains their wonder is beyond all dispute... to those who are not, their allure is a kind of madness!"It takes us through that inexplicable journey to a higher plane with some explanations on how you get into that mad spell in first place.That "the mountains we climb are not only made of rock and ice, but also dreams and desire.They are mountains of the mind!" It also weighs up that sublime takeaway of an expedition by beautifully summarizing how one comes back to the world from heights with experiences that cannot be expressed or be priced.A moving visual marvel that leaves the ones who seeks the pinnacles within and the summits laid out out by the nature, spellbound!

OohLaLlama Sorry, but I hated this. I managed to watch around half of it and only found it irritating so switched off. I'm not disputing the content itself-I didn't like the filming of it-the music, the narrative. Others will like it, just not for meWhen I watch a documantary or a piece of film, I want to be immersed in the 'feelings' of the people who live, climb, work, die.. From the danger, the excitement, disappointment, the cold, the wet and the humid, the tragic, the sick, the beauty and above all-understand what people are searching for.I felt nothing, I could have looked through a book for this. I didn't feel it captured anything and the score was, at best, annoying The narrative failed to interest me, it was just rambling As a reviewer commented on Amazon, if you want to see a film about mountains? Watch the restored 'The Epic of Everest' from the 1924 Mallory/Irvine expedition-that is one stunning, beautiful piece of film. Probably the best I've seenOkay-as an edit to respond to another review. Firstly-I'm the 'guy' who loves mountains(except I'm female) and this is how I felt. I didn't connect with this film at all. Others will. I've seen far, far better films that made me 'feel' what I want to feel when I watch this kind of documentary-I loved 'Meru', for example, different horses for different coursesWhen I write a review, it's how I feel, not a critique of other reviews. Respect others' opinionsI'm not a pro critic-I know what I like-that's all. I didn't get the music score and I hated the narrative. That's my opinion. I prefer a more 'real' experience
