Too much of everything
The Worst Film Ever
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Beautiful movie about beautiful sport and beautiful people. It didn't make me wanna climb, but it did make me connect to climbing and most of all made me understand what's in those people heads and what drives them. Really awesome! I'd like to compare this film with it's main protagonist Didier Berthod. They both communicate so much in such a simple form. True masterpiece. From technical side it's intentionally made to look amateur, so it draws you more into it and also adds to that free climbing born to be wild state of mind, but if you think about it just for a second you're aware that there's unbelievable lot's of work and dedication into this movie.
I caught this on TV early in the morning, bugger all on TV so let's watch this. I tell you what a rush watching this show! Besides it's shot in some of the most breath taking locations on the planet, these men and women are incredible or just mad. Great story, lets you be part of these climbers while sitting in front of your telly. I have no fear of heights, but no way I would do what they do, maybe indoor climbing. If you like a show thats not a Hollywood made show, that makes you feel alive then give this a go.10 out of 10 10 out of 10 10 out of 10 10 out of 10 10 out of 10 10 out of 10
