The mountain scenery is beautiful & the main character is likable. Since this is the true story of the first blind person to climb Mount Everest, the plot sticks close to reality. The only trouble is, if you've seen INTO THIN AIR or any of the films entitled EVEREST, this comes across like the G-rated version. Not that there's anything wrong with that; you can watch it with the whole family and be inspired rather than frightened. But don't people watch mountain climbing films for the vicarious thrill? If no one dies or is badly injured, no one slips and dangles at the end of a rope over a bottomless pit, and no one gets frostbite, it's not thrilling. In a few scenes, it was windy, but no blizzards, and the characters didn't behave as if they were cold. For most of the film, the climbers were walking easily through the snow, not rock-climbing or slipping on ice. Getting the $250,000 to finance the expedition posed no problem; an organization for the blind donated it. This was a pleasant, feel-good movie and I'm glad I watched it, but it made it seem like climbing Everest is pretty easy. Warning: it's not! Read full review
