Carlos T 6d **Everest (2015) – 121 min** é uma obra que transcende o rótulo de filme de montanha para se tornar um estudo profundo sobre ambição, fragilidade humana e o preço dos sonhos. Baseado na tragédia real de 1996, o longa mistura **drama, aventura e suspense** com uma sensibilidade quase documental. No centro da narrativa está **Jason Clarke** como Rob Hall, o líder que carrega nas costas não apenas a responsabilidade da expedição, mas também a sobrevivência financeira da própria empresa, ao lado de **Emily Watson** como Helen Wilton. Entre os alpinistas, destacam-se **Josh Brolin** (Beck Weathers), **John Hawkes** (Doug Hansen) e **Jake Gyllenhaal** (Scott Fischer), cada um representando um motivo diferente para desafiar a montanha — dinheiro, reportagem, sonho pessoal ou legado. **Nota:** 9 See more Ollie W Feb 4 It’s a simple but gripping story that sticks close to the facts. A superb cast, great soundtrack, beautiful locations and cinematography, likeable characters… faultless. See more Adventure M @Adventuremastertrek Jan 31 Everest (2015) is a powerful and emotional film that captures both the beauty and danger of the world’s highest mountain. The visuals are striking, and the story highlights human courage, fear, and resilience in extreme conditions. My village lies below Mount Everest, and many scenes felt familiar to me. The landscapes, Sherpa culture, and deep respect for the mountain closely reflect life in Himalayan communities. As someone involved in organizing trekking experiences in the Everest region, this film felt especially close to home.

Ending is not what i would expect and its hook isnt either but that is to be expected for a true story. See more David Lee K Jan 10 Everest is a pretty gripping portrayal of human ambition being pushed to its limits. Rather than glorifying heroism, the film focuses on the quiet professionalism, teamwork, and humility required to survive in one of the world’s most unforgiving environments. The mountain itself is a beautiful and powerful presence, but it is also indifferent to human suffering, and ultimately it is always in control. Strong performances and impressive visuals create an immersive experience, even if the emotional depth sometimes feels restrained. Preferably watched on a very big screen :) See more Marco L @decatur555 Aug 6 (CASTELLANO) No es fácil mirar al Everest y no pensar en la épica. Pero esta película no busca homenajes ni glorias: se mete en la tormenta para mostrar el lado más cruel de una obsesión. Desde el primer momento, el director deja claro que aquí no hay héroes, solo personas empeñadas en desafiar lo indomable, pagando un precio brutal. La sensación que deja es más parecida a la de un duelo que a la de una aventura. Y funciona. Vaya si funciona. El ritmo puede parecer frío, como la propia montaña. Pero esa es justo su virtud. Kormákur no intenta edulcorar el sufrimiento ni maquillar la desesperación. Las escenas se sienten reales, casi documentales a ratos, y hay planos que abruman por su silencio. Más allá de la espectacularidad técnica —que la hay—, lo que golpea es esa acumulación de decisiones pequeñas que, una tras otra, empujan a los personajes hacia lo inevitable. Hay momentos en los que cuesta seguir a tantos personajes, y algunos podrían haber tenido más peso emocional. Pero quizá eso también hable de la confusión real en situaciones extremas. Cuando estás a 8000 metros, el mundo se reduce al oxígeno que no tienes, al paso que no das. La película transmite esa angustia con una crudeza admirable. Lo más perturbador es darse cuenta de que no hay un monstruo que perseguir, ni una amenaza externa que combatir. Solo hay gente que lo tenía todo, y lo arriesgó por estar un minuto en la cima. Y ese minuto se convirtió en el último. Cuando la nieve lo cubre todo y el silencio se impone, es difícil no pensar en lo absurdo de ese impulso que a veces nos mueve: demostrar algo que no necesita demostración. Everest no conmueve a base de discursos, sino de vacío. No emociona con música, sino con el peso del aire que falta. Es de esas películas que no se recuerdan por una escena, sino por lo que te dejan dentro cuando terminan. Una mezcla extraña de admiración y tristeza, como cuando te das cuenta de que no todo lo grande es hermoso. (ENGLISH) It’s hard to look at Everest without thinking of epic triumph. But this film isn’t aiming for tribute or glory—it throws itself into the storm to reveal the brutal cost of obsession. From the very beginning, the director makes it clear: there are no heroes here, just people determined to challenge the unchallengeable, paying a steep price. What remains is more like mourning than adventure. And it works. It really does. The pacing might feel cold, like the mountain itself. But that’s exactly the point. Kormákur doesn’t try to sweeten the pain or dress up the despair. Some scenes feel almost documentary-like, and certain shots overwhelm with their stillness. Beyond the visual spectacle—and it is spectacular—what hits the hardest is the steady accumulation of small decisions that lead these people to the edge. At times it’s hard to follow so many characters, and a few could’ve had more emotional weight. But maybe that speaks to the real confusion of extreme situations. At 8,000 meters, your world shrinks to the breath you don’t have, the step you can’t take. The film captures that suffocating tension with admirable clarity. What’s most disturbing is the absence of a villain. There’s no monster, no external threat—just people who had it all and risked everything to stand at the summit for a single minute. And that minute became their last. When the snow settles and silence takes over, it’s hard not to question that drive to prove something no one asked you to prove. Everest doesn’t move you with speeches, but with emptiness. It doesn’t stir with music, but with the weight of missing air. It’s one of those films you remember not for one specific scene, but for the feeling it leaves in your gut. A strange blend of awe and grief—like realizing not everything great is beautiful.
