Everest

LOGAN ***
"Everest" does not push any new boundaries when it comes to these types of survival thrillers.  The story starts out pretty slow and the pacing is not very balanced.  One moment the characters are in a village in Nepal talking about how they're going to climb the mountain, then literally the very next scene, they'll be halfway to the top.  Suffice it to say, nothing really happens in the movie until they actually reach the top.  Before that, the emotional moments are very quick and feel unimportant to the story.  However, when disaster does strike on the mountain the movie really picks up and becomes pretty exciting.  With intense and memorable music, impressive visual effects and high tension in the second half, I would recommend watching this movie.  Bear with the first half, it pays off in the end.  Overall, it's a good movie.
