There's not much to say about this movie.
Just about everyone dies.
There's not really a happy ending to speak of and I found myself not really caring one way or another about any of it because I didn't find myself invested in any character in this movie. There are a lot of actors in this movie but the movie doesn't really give any time to them to make them any sort of engaging. They are more or less the set pieces of the movie while the mountain "Everest" is the main character. But even that main character I found dull and boring. This is very boring and pandering movie that wants to be more than sum of its parts but is no where near close to those parts.
If you see the movie The Martian, the planet Mars is a main character in the movie and the movie goes to great lengths to build this character. Everest, by comparison, seemed written by a confused person who had no idea what that mountain was or is but yet hit all the right dictionary points of the mountain but nothing that made the mountain live and breath as a character. I didn't even find the visuals of this movie that engaging either. All in all it was a boring waste of time.
