I loved the shots the were taken afterwards from the mountains. Those are amazing. Otherwise, the whole concept was about hearing this man of how good he is at everything. It sounded like a badly written script to me. First of all, this idea is possible in 3 weeks. It's just matter of money and the willing to do something that doesn't matter. It is like most of the guinness world records. The first man who climbed all of those mountains over 16 years, did it in that time period because it simply wasn't a goal for him to do it as quickly as possible. Secondly, hearing that one of the best biker in the world can't do something for 90 secs that this man can do 3 mins is simply a joke. I also didn't get it why do they climb one mountain in a single day when an other ones takes them 4 days, it's just wasn't highlighted as was the "one day climb". Again, every line was heavily focused on how incredible he is. Later on he still didn't get the desired attention and recognition so he started to say that he does for his people and country. Which is strongly false. I don't even have to tell why, you heard the man saying in the entire movie. It wasn't amazing, it is totally possible and it was presented by a person that doesn't know what humble is.

I dont want to Talk down their accomplishments, which are truly beyond the world. But all in all i have a Problem with how the movie was Made. I hoped there would be storylines about the single mountains they climbed, Like how many Camps it has, Routes, death rate, height and a good documentation about their ascend. But there were almost No Details what so ever. You See that they arrived and in the next Scene they are already Like halfway through the ascend with No mentioning which Route they Took and how high they already were, which was pretty dissapointing to someone, who also wanted to learn about the beautiful Mountains. I know it ist pretty difficult to do have all These Details i mentioned earlier in a movie but at some parts i had a Feeling of wasted time by telling unnessecary Long Story lines Like those with These rescues. Not that i didnt want to See anything of These rescue, which were also pretty interesting to watch, but These Stories were partially longer than some ascends to a mountain! At the end the biggest question in my head was: why die they Not Made a series Out of it? Each Episode one or two Mountains or at least each EP one Project step so you have 3 Episodes in total. You couldve Seen and learn so much more about their astonishing Performance. And If im Being honest, i could watch them all day with those beatiful Made recordings. Still a good movie to watch for the incredible recordings, music and a little insight into the Project, but for it failed to gained its full potential.

The director actually makes the mountain master Nims seem a bit humble at times. There is a touching sub plot about his relationship with his mother. Other then that it is full on mountain action. Stunning views, great sound and nice pacing. Some footage is superb, like the helicopter rescue or the cue at Mount Everest. What is Nims mission? To make Nepalese sherpas famous? Well, that is kind of cool. But he is bit diffuse on the matter. There is a lot of big words, but maybe he is just a fun loving guy with great hunger for adventure and scaling sick ass mountains. The interview with legend R Messner is not necessary. He is there to tell us that Nims feat is good. But do we need that affirmation? I thought it was all about recognizing the Nepalese's.

"From the beginning of our life, we are approaching death." 14 peaks had me in awe. It was beyond a great documentary and an incredible feat. The amount that Nims went through can tell stories for what seems like the lifetimes of 2 people. Endeavor after endeavor, mountain after mountain, and it brought with it unforeseen difficulties. Nims and his team climbed more than 8000 m+ peaks. They climbed mountains within their mind, body, and soul. I hope him and his team get more recognition and credit. Wow! I hope this crew gets recognition for such a beautiful documentary that assembled for the world. Project possible shows what's possible - especially with belief. Nims inspired me now that I'm going on to climb my own mountains in life (literally and figuratively;)).
