فيلم جيد!

This is a story of 2 guys and a team climbing Everest with the excuse of looking for "The first people to climb Everest" the "Search" was 4 mins of drone coverage early in the doc and 4 mins of off rope searching towards the end. The initial drone searching had me thinking they would use this to do the actual searching for safety when they were in the search area that would've been too smart. Anyone who rates this Documentary highly is doing so out of the shear beauty of the mountain. If you enjoy being disappointed and have an hour to waste here is your film.

A Selfish summit. Putting personal ambitions to summit ahead of historical science. The aim of the expedition was suppose to be to find Irvine's camera. Not to summit and have no strategy/energy to look for Irvine's body or camera. It seemed as though they had the mountain to themselves in the window they had. Why didn't the take the 'direct route' up to the summit along irvines route. A more scientific process would have drawn more conclusions than a Nat geo funded summit for a couple of guys who "never had the desire to summit" until it was funded with camera crew. Save yourself 1hour..

Rating of pictures about climbing Everest automatically starts from 5, simply the view is gripping enough. But as a documentary, the story is not new, shooting is not any special, does not shed any new light.

If you go look for someone lost somewhere 100 years ago your first objective should be to focus on the search. The prelude was to go inspect a precise zone on the mount Everest for Irvine body and then they absolutely forget about him and went for the summit. "Oh this summit is so hard look how cool I am on the top...." This is way beyond a farse. Shame on you.

This group of nobodies falsely claimed to be searching for Andy Irvine, instead, they were on a paid expedition to summit everest and claim they were searching for Andy Irvine. Pathetic, all has been done before.

The selfish mindset, actions and lies of Yaar and Yuval are disgraceful, far beyond belief. They both continued to justify their "self preservation" and "self survival" decisions with no regard or apology given to the locals of whom they GREATLY disrespected. I have no doubt that those four left that poor woman to die and made no attempt to carry her out of that valley. Weak individuals without an ounce of integrity. They should all hold their heads in shame but surprisingly showed no true remorse for their actions. Yuval, a weak crybaby. Yaar, a thief and liar. Saahar, self preserving behavior as well. I feel as much anger towards them as the local community and families felt by their actions. Not once did any of them show any compassion for the deceased or their families.

Have long been intrigued by the mystery of Mallory and Irvine. I love basically everything about Everest, and have since I was a kid. This National Geographic documentary is no exception! Some spectacular cinematography and footage of Everest. Viewers are made to feel like they're part of the adventure and expedition. The conditions and danger of Everest are captured well. Numerous moments made me go "whoah". Full credit to all the guys for the risks taken. It just got slightly frustrating towards the end. For a film that is basically all about Mallory and Irvine, and looking to solve the mystery, it then descends into a usual 'lets summit Everest' documentary. The actual search for Irvine's body seemed to take a real backseat towards the end - just seemingly tacked on. But still, this was a great documentary for Everest buffs and those into unsolved mysteries. National Geographic have been putting out some excellent climbing films recently.

If they didn't find the body after looking hard, then I think it would be understandable. But in this case it seems they didn't find the body because they were too exhausted from doing the summit, which wasn't supposed to be part of the plan in the first place. It just goes to show that you can't serve two masters.
