There’s a delicate balance to be struck when making a disaster epic based on a real-life tragedy; it needs to treat the events with the requisite respect and delicacy, while still managing to deliver pulse-pounding entertainment that resonates with a mass audience. Part prestige drama and part nerve-wracking thriller, Baltasar Kormákur’s Everest toed the line in style.
Based on the 1996 incident that claimed eight lives, there’s plenty of well-rounded characterization on display, which comes with the territory when the filmmaker has a murderer’s row of talented names to rely on that includes Jason Clarke, Jake Gyllenhaal, Josh Brolin, John Hawkes, Robin Wright, Emily Watson, Michael Kelly, Keira Knightley, Elizabeth Debicki, Vanessa Kirby, and Sam Worthington; an insanely stacked roster to put it lightly.
