Reviews
Dotbankey A lot of fun.
Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
bkoganbing Two mountain climbers partner in the rescue of tycoon Dabney Coleman's son off a high peak. Jason George and Ned Vaughn aren't just different racially they have serious different approaches to life. Vaughn is white and a Christian, George is black and a skeptic to say the least. George is also keeping company with a believer in Kylie Santiago and her father Clifton Davis really does not like his son-in-law.One reviewer is right about one thing, this Christian film from the Billy Graham Evangelical Association spent quite a bit of dough on this, especially the mountain climbing scenes. Coleman's company which got a windfall of good publicity decides to sponsor both these guys on a climb of the legendary Mount Chiconcagua in the Chilean Andes.I was actually quite impressed with the 21st century technology used for mountain climbing. That 3 dimensional holograph was really something.It's a Christian film, it's also a tragic one and it follows the usual parameters. But it's a great film technically if nothing else.
misce_mail Contains real life scenarios that most people can relate to and is not at all preachy. They do give somewhat of a gospel message but are not at all in your face about it. Good acting, great production. Involves the lives of an unbeliever and a committed Christian forging a friendship based on a mutual goal. I really like that it portrays a relationship between the two men that is similar to relationships that I have had as a believer with unbelievers. This would be a great movie to watch with friends that you want to hear the gospel message without it seeming like you are showing them the movie just for that reason. I would highly recommend!
superjacklad this movie may be comforting, to people who have a strong faith, but itis SO racist.the atheist is black and a jerk, where as the amazing white religiousguy is a understanding, safe climber who forgives the other man, 4 being an a-hole. and the end is just plain stupid.if u r religious, u might like it (as i said up there) but if u have any sense u will see how offending it is.this is offending junk that will make any1 with a good sense of what is right and what is distasteful
Melissa Alice The story was very captivating and thought-provoking. The scenery of the mountains was beautiful, and the story brought tears to my eyes.One thing I didn't particularly like was the sort of cheesy acting of the Mackie's owner, but I guess he was just supposed to be that way.Great story...see it, and remember the high road!
