 | The Dumbing Down Of IMAX Films! Jan 13, 2008 |
This is the worst IMAX film I have seen in my entire life! Sure it has some great pictures of the Alps. It also very briefly covers Global Warming, which is wrecking the glaciers, and the very important subject of avalanche science. Unfortunately 90% of this film is about one man and his obsession to climb the most dangerous mountain in the Alps - The Eiger, by taking the most dangerous route possible - all because his father did the same, and died doing so!
Like father, like son! Never mind both men have or had families with children to support and nurture! Go ahead and make your wife and children watch you foolishly risk your life, so you can prove you're "A Man." If you're single - or have children who are grown adults - do what ever you want! But to have your young child watch your every agonizing step through the end of a telescope, for days, especially after knowing your child's grandfather fell to his death climbing the exact same route is just beyond belief! Talk about being selfish!
But then to see a rather graphic reenactment of the climber's father's fall to his death was nothing short of sick! What's next, showing a view of the broken body? I could not believe IMAX would stoop so low! Do you really think this it is going to help you sell tickets by reducing IMAX to a second-rate Reality television program?
At the end of this rather disturbing film our "hero" says, "he finally got something out of his system, by following in his father's footsteps and succeeding this time." As we were walking out of the theater I turned around to my friend and said, " it would have been a lot cheaper and easier on his wife and child if he had seen a psychiatrist instead!" | | | Write your own review about The Alps (IMAX)
