Failed to live up to subject matter
19 June 2001
I was very interested in the subject of this movie, but I found it failed to really live up to it's material. It apparently didn't have enough time to develop it's characters, or wasn't skillful enough in portraying them. They should have put more money and time into this production, it could have been so much better. The film rushes through the facts as quickly as it can. It should've been a 3-hour production with a better script. One odd thing: Jeff Perry portrays climber Doug Hansen, when he actually bears a resemblance to another well-publicized member of the expedition, the Doctor who had been left for dead. I found that confusing.
