Some parts were dumb (the nitro bombs for instance) and the CGI not always the best (albeit this was 20 years ago, so some forgiveness) but I liked the cast, Bill Paxton, Robin Tunney and Scott Glenn especially, and thought all in all was an entertaining enough survival-thriller. **3.25/5**
_**A Fun Time but overKILL to the Extreme**_I had high hopes for this film after seeing the thrilling opening sequence in Monument Valley, Utah; but, alas, it was not to be.
THE STORY: A famous female climber gets stuck in an ice cave with two others near the top of K2, the second highest mountain on Earth. Her brother, who has sworn off climbing because of his father’s climbing death, has no choice but to assemble a team to rescue the trio.
WHAT WORKS: As already mentioned, the opening sequence is excellent, the locations are great (the New Zealand Alps), the story pretty much keeps your attention (until the absurdities really mount up — pun intended) and both Robin Tunney & Izabella Scorupco are deliciously beautiful.
WHAT DOESN’T WORK: As the story continues the believability decreases severely. In fact, the crisis/suspense/action sequences are so EXTREME and strung so close together (especially as the movie proceeds) they tend to make you bust out laughing — the very OPPOSITE reaction the creators wanted. By the very end the ridiculous overkill made me lose interest in whatever story was supposed to be there.
FINAL ANALYSIS: I was hoping for something unexpectedly great like “The Edge,” but ended up with a fun but ultimately shallow time-waster. For comparison, “Cliffhanger” is “Apocalypse Now” next to “Vertical Limit.”
GRADE: C
So much money…so many goofs!
How can anyone spend so much money and make a picture like this? The effects were good but how many really stupid / bad things can happen in one film or one person’s life. If only two of the many, many catastrophes that happened in the movie happened in real life it would be like lightning striking you twice. Everything that the actors did (pretending to be the best of the best climbers) seemed to go against them. Really, do you think a professional climber would leave his back pack where it could slide down the mountain? This is your life we’re talking about. How about a nylon climbing rope that snaps two feet above the ground just after stopping a long fall. You can’t see anyone’s breath and it’s cold up there. But the way, there aren’t any open flame fires that I know of (unless the fuel contains it’s own oxygen) anywhere near that altitude. Or how about a professional climber (who relies on good lungs) that smokes. Really, enough is enough!If you can’t think well you might like this movie but it you have some brains, no way! No real plot development – only special effects over and over and over…Unfortunately not even plausible special effects. Jumping a crevasse (didn’t they know it was there before they took that route) and actually sticking to the other side. Come on!
I could go on and on but I won’t. Nice scenery though. I like the actors but not in this movie.
Well, that’s my take and thanks.
