	Scifilm -- Reviews, THE VOID (2001)
		In all fairness, the effects depicting the titular void seen at the beginning and at the climax, although sparse, are impressive and well done, and the initial premise is intriguing enough to keep us watching (it's in the execution of this premise that it falls short; more on that later).
		In THE VOID, he does a good job adding shades of gray to character written as a stock corporate villain, and by the end, we manage to sympathize with him, if not his motives.
		The makers of THE VOID have taken the easy way out with their story: by sidestepping the scientific content, they lessen the chance of committing gross factual errors, thus minimizing potential criticism from certain segments of the audience.

	Touching the Void
		This is not only a documentation of what happened, recording how this bleak scenario almost cost Simpson and Yates their lives, but is also a profound meditation on death and hopelessness; an examination, in both climbers, of the human drive to survive that not even they quite understand.
		He does not tie a knot in his rope, knowing that it is only so long and that he will either reach the bottom of this hole, or will feel the end of the rope slip through his hand as he falls to his death.
		Even though we know the two climbers have survived, we are able to put ourselves on the face of that mountain, facing the void by their side.

		The Rampant Games team had just spent the last month crunching on their debut title Void War, and on the eve of their stealth launch, ahead of a full-scale media push, Jay was taking the time to catch me up on the project.
		Void War is a multi-player space combat title that combines a fully 3 dimensional dog-fighting experience with a unique space setting, and it cements itself with a simple, fast-paced arcade design that achieves an “easy to pick up, difficult to master” balance.
		Void War wasn’t really a design at that point, but doing a space combat action game where skill actually mattered was.

		But as Joe later says, “you have to keep making decisions.” Joe to this day upholds the tough choice his climbing partner had to make, and in his book and in countless interviews he has tried to defend Simon, whose character in the climbing community is continually flogged.
		Whatever ‘the Void’ is – and it’s probably many things – it’s a chance for a man to reach outside himself for something or someone to deliver him.
		The void gives voice to the sound a soul makes when pressed and pinned to the point of implosion.

	The Void: Our Dark Side
		The Void is where we send our thoughts of fear, resentment, guilt and shame; it is also where we create our most important life works and generate the knowing of our greatest joys.
		The Void is our journey of remembering who we are (embracing all aspects, even those that seem dark or negative, as part of what makes us Divinely Human) and reclaiming our spiritual heritage.
		I believe The Void is within us (others perceive it as somewhere outside ourselves) and that it is part of our job to clean the soul's house whenever needed, as well as to honor the genius residing there.

		Used as a soundscape for dreaming, Smile On The Void is an excellent constant in an uncontrolled experiment.

	Reeling: the Movie Review Show's review of Touching the Void
		Macdonald takes such an unusual approach with "Touching the Void," intercutting the talking heads of the three principals with recreations using actors, that one wonders why he didn't just make the leap out of the documentary genre altogether.
		While the dramatizations are effective, with cinematographer Mike Eley ("The Navigators") providing dazzling images of a dangerous sport, the storytelling by Yates, Simpson and Richard Hawking (a British traveler who went along and waited at base camp) is sometimes distancing when their words aren't used as voiceover narration.
		Yet, "Touching the Void" is an incredible story of human endurance and man's metaphysical ties to his environment.

	Epicurus [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		And there must be an unlimited amount of void, since without a limitless amount of void, the infinite number of atoms would be unable to move.
		Lucretius puts it, they would 'fall downward, like drops of rain, through the deep void.' The second reason for thinking that atoms swerve is that a random atomic motion is needed to preserve human freedom and 'break the bonds of fate,' as Lucretius says.
		Democritus thinks that, in reality, only atoms and the void exist, and that sensible qualities such as sweetness, whiteness, and the like exist only 'by convention.' It is controversial exactly how to understand Democritus' position, but most likely he is asserting that atoms themselves have no sensible qualities--they are simply extended bits of stuff.

	Review: Touching the Void (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Touching the Void isn't a documentary, because it employs extensive re-creation footage (filmed on location in the Andes), and it isn't a narrative because of Joe and Simon's talking-heads narration.
		As far as he was concerned, all that awaited him was an endless void, and it was luck and perseverance, not a miracle, that saved him.
		Macdonald's approach to the subject is perfect; it's doubtful that Touching the Void would have been as tense had it been a pure documentary, nor would it have been as compelling if made as a "based on a true story" feature, no matter how good the production values had been.

		A weird but generally successful hybrid of documentary and feature film, it is unquestionably one of the best climbing movies ever made, doing justice to a sport that has not been well served by the cinema.
		The film is not without its flaws: It does flag a little during Simpson's epic journey down the mountain, the actors portraying Simpson and Yates (Brendan Mackey and Nicholas Aaron) look very little like their subjects, and director Macdonald sometimes gets too tricky in his attempt to depict Simpson's exhausted hallucinations.
		Nevertheless, "Touching the Void" is a voyage into an extreme experience that should not be missed.

		The short version is that while climbing Siula Grande, an icy 21,000-foot peak in the Peruvian Andes, a man cut the rope connecting himself and his climbing partner, which left both of them damaged, one physically and one emotionally.
		Although the crucial decision is often the focus of the story, the reactions to the circumstances are the high point of the movie.
		In the process, the film may have produced the movie moment of the year: a reunion scene that, like the rest of the movie, is as wrought with pure emotion as any in recent memory.

		Touching the Void, the true story of a pair of daredevil mountain climbers in the Peruvian Andes, may be the most harrowing, dazzling, haunting survival story ever filmed.
		In Touching the Void, with ample genuine interview footage featuring the real survivors, the danger was all in the other direction: that the reenactment footage would seem staged and artificial by comparison.
		In the end, the overwhelming impression left by Touching the Void is numb astonishment that a human being could do what Joe did, survive through the circumstances he survived, and keep on going.

		After his father had stormed from the room, Govinda snapped his fingers for his trusted driver to take him to the temple, but the man wept as he informed him that servants had already been instructed to refuse all requests for domestic favours on the grounds that Govinda was such a lazy, selfish little bugger.
		Upon asking of the cause of their urgency, he was told they were going to hear the words of a wise and inscrutable guru.

	'Touching the Void' plumbs the depths of a mountain climber's will to survive
		But "Touching the Void," an account of a mountaineering tragedy that happened almost two decades ago, gets by nicely without a scrap of authentic footage.
		In its magnificent third act, as Simpson struggles to keep going by setting himself tiny but attainable goals, "Touching the Void" also becomes something more: a genuinely inspiring parable that teaches us a valuable strategy for survival in a world in which we are all, in one way or another, doomed.

		That premise is "The Void," which substitutes a barren spatial anomaly for the original presumed barrenness of the Delta Quadrant.
		It's a question that's worth asking, and "Void" at least knows that this is the question that deserves to be the center of the story.
		What is a little odd, and perhaps a little arrogant and worn out from a story perspective, is the notion that after years trapped in the void, no one else comes up with the brilliant idea of trying to pull together to escape.

	MovieFreak.com - "Touching the Void" Movie Review by Sara M. Fetters
		But it is Simpson, faced with the titular void, which takes the breath away.
		The sight of the wounded climber hung limp over the side of the mountain, the misty flness beneath calling out for his blood, is the type of moment that burns the screen with intimate power.
		During a QandA session after the film, Simpson expressed he wanted to make, “the best climbing film I’ve ever seen.” Well, I can’t speak for him (I assume he approves), but for my money “Touching the Void” is even more than that, raising the already high bar of exemplary documentary filmmaking to another level.

	Touching the Void
		Touching the Void tells the remarkable story of Joe Simpson and Simon Yates, who in 1985 scaled the west face of Siula Grande, a remote, twenty one thousand foot peak in the Peruvian Andes.
		But he refuses to surrender his life, escapes from a crevasse and literally crawls down the mountain alone, battered, exhausted and dehydrated to the base camp, hoping his friends haven't give up on him and started their journey home.
		The effect is powerful, and Macdonald's decision to film on location pays huge dividends: Touching the Void is visually stunning, the scenery providing the cold, unforgiving backdrop to the hot rush of human struggle, which Joe Simpson and Simon Yates tell with passion and verve.
