Critics Consensus

Everest boasts all the dizzying cinematography a person could hope to get out a movie about mountain climbers, even if it's content to tread less challenging narrative terrain.

Max Weiss Baltimore Magazine Everest's uncanny realism is a big part of what keeps you in its icy thrall. Rated: 3/4 Jun 12, 2016 Full Review Ben Sachs Chicago Reader For all the natural spectacle, the characters are what hold one's attention. Sep 24, 2015 Full Review Emily St. James Vox It's unlikely to have the massive success of Gravity, as it doesn't have quite the uplifting ending of that film (though God knows it tries), but it's worth watching just to see the places human beings should probably never tread. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 23, 2015 Full Review Jordan Brooks Vague Visages Pulling on heartstrings and playing with tension, Kormákur and his team straddle territory occupied by similarly-minded, slick actioners on one side and biting emotional dramas on the other — neutralizing everything they have worked to build. Aug 2, 2023 Full Review Emma Clark-Dow The Post NZ A hard watch...however, these emotions are heightened by the excellent work of actors and cinematography, who make the mammoth, deadly mountain and its treacherous conditions come to life through the screen. Aug 31, 2022 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies It isn’t a brash, bombastic popcorn flick. It isn’t a by-the-books ‘real events’ movie. Sure, it has its big name ensemble cast and its share of visual ‘wow’ moments. But at the same time it felt small, concise, and restrained. Rated: 4.5/5 Aug 20, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Jack S Extraordinary but sad movie!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/18/25 Full Review Cody W The incredible dedication of these mountain climbers is astounding, and the experience itself is definitely worth watching, but it’s the movie’s second half that will leave you speechless. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/17/25 Full Review Big H A bunch of oxygen addicts try to summit Mount Everest. And things don't go as planned after a big storm comes in. Then climbers start dropping like flies. I'm totally obsessed with this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/25 Full Review Matt W Best climbing movie ever, besides Cliffhanger, but better because it's based on a true story. Great cast, super intense, very sad. I saw this in IMAX and it was so intense. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/20/24 Full Review CHRISTOPHER R Great movie, it was really sad when Rob died, overall great movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/18/24 Full Review Audience Member A powerful and emotional film. That also tell you don't mess with mother nature in the sheer awesomeness of everest. Everest is beautiful in every way Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/13/24 Full Review Read all reviews
