 Everest is a movie revolving around the tallest mountain on Earth and a bunch of brave souls who attempt to reach its peak. The movie is about a group of hikers go to climb Mount Everest. After the very first human being reaches the top of Mount Everest, within two weeks, a swarm of people head over to the gigantic mountain in an attempt to be the next heroes to accomplish the incredible task. The team is made up of somewhat strangers, and as they embark on the tough journey, they learn about the people around them and themselves. The group must work together as they go ahead and try to climb one of the most difficult peaks in the entire world. One mistake could be fatal, and the group knows this, which adds to the movie's intensity. However, just as the team begins their final ascent, a powerful storm comes into contact with them and puts all of their lives in jeopardy, and they must work together in order to survive mother Earth's most fearsome powers, resulting in the team learning firsthand the dangers of nature and why so many people have died trying to climb Mount Everest.
 Everest is a fairly entertaining movie that should grab viewer's attentions and entertain them greatly. However, the ending doesn't have any true "wow" moments, could use some more enticing events and isn't nearly as dramatic or suspenseful as it could potentially be, but the entire film is solid throughout and is packed with adventure and intensity, except for possibly parts of the end. 
 Everest beautifully depicts the conflict between man and nature and showcases the shear force that is nature. There is scores of thrilling tension, tragedy, and bravery, as well as some enjoyable twists and turns that are sure to keep audiences' adrenalines pumping. Although parts of the movie feel slightly dragged out, most of the movie is an interesting tale that depicts one of the more depressing moments in climbing history.
 Everest has vividly pleasing visual effects, and the whole thing feels very life-like and realistic, which is a superb thing, seeing as it makes watchers feel like they are climbing the mount as well. The character development in the movie is pretty good but nothing spectacular. However, the movie does show some of the harshest conditions possible, which was necessary. Overall, Everest is an unique. well-done film that showcases a conflict between man versus nature and is definitely worth seeing, because there isn't that many movies like it.
