	Everest (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-04)
		Everest focuses on three IMAX members: Jamling Tenzing Norgay (son of the Sherpa who first reached the summit of Chomolungma, with Edmund Hillary, in 1953); Ed Viesturs, who has climbed Chomolungma five times and has reached the summit of the world's six highest peaks, all without supplemental oxygen; and Araceli Segarra, a Catalonian rock climber.
		The IMAX team arrives at Everest Base Camp on April 2, and we're made to understand what a long acclimatization period is necessary prior to the assault on the summit, during that brief, unpredictable period in May after the jet steams have moved north but before the monsoon arrives from the south.
		The film doesn't even mention Fischer, who froze to death, and it suggests that a freak storm was responsible when in fact bad judgment was the primary culprit.

	Everest . Gambit Weekly . 06-15-98
		Everest was made during that infamous spring of 1996 when 12 climbers lost their lives, nine on the very trail that Breashears and his IMAX team took to the top.
		As the film reveals, the difference in barometric pressure and oxygen content between sea level and mountain top is so great that if a human being were taken directly from ocean-side and deposited at the peak, he or she would immediately fall unconscious and die within minutes.
		What the film neglects to tell us, but Krakauer reveals, is that Paula Viesturs was so upset with Ed's decision to climb in the aftermath of so many deaths that she walked down the mountain to the village of Tengboche and stayed to collect herself for five days.

	Everest Imax Film
		This is especially true in the case of Everest, the wildly-successful IMAX documentary of one of the most compelling adventures of the modern era.
		Through ingenuity and sheer luck - whether their luck is good or bad depends on your perspective - Greg MacGillivray and his crew set out to film a documentary on the attempt to reach the summit of Mount Everest, and instead became eyewitnesses to the most deadly string of events in mountaineering history.
		The film was written by longtime Outside editor Tim Cahill and narrated by Academy Award nominee Liam Neeson, but what sets Everest apart as one of the finest adventures captured on film is the dazzling, often-dizzying cinematography.

	Dave Breashears and Ed Viesturs discuss the phenomenal success of IMAX Everest (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-04)
		Everest climbed into Variety's top-20 box office charts as soon as it was released last spring, where it remains today.
		In fact, Breashears sees the film as sort of predestined, as the technical problems were solved just in time to allow the crew to film in 1996, which also happened to be the same year the most famous tragedy in Everest history occurred.
		Breashears had to take off his gloves every time he changed the film, which was frequently as the huge, heavy rolls of 70mm film could capture only five minutes of action.

		"Everest became a cultural phenomenon that captured the attention of the entire world, not only because of the tragic storm that cost eight lives, but because this was a film people connected to emotionally," noted MacGillivray.
		The film's immediate success was credited with spurring on a spree of IMAX theatre construction across North America as museum directors realized the potential for such films to increase attendance and revenue.
		MacGillivray Freeman Films has been producing motion pictures for forty years and is the world's leading producer and distributor of films for IMAX theatres and large format cinemas.

	Howstuffworks "How did they get a huge IMAX camera to the top of Mt. Everest?"
		Filming on the mountain is still a significant challenge, but at least it is possible for a single person to carry the camera up to the top.
		In the case of the space shuttle, all of the films to date have been 2-D, but a 3-D film is being created to document life aboard the craft.
		Special cameras and film are used to keep the weight down, and then everything is transferred to 15/70 film stock for projection.

		“Everest, a stunning new film, captures both the majesty of the mountain and the madness of those who seek to conquer it.
		The film is as triumphant as it is tragic.”
		After seeing the film, be sure to stop into the museum’s adjacent Nichols Gallery, and examine the large scale model of Mt. Everest, which shows in detail the topography climbers must surmount and also gives a history of climbing on the world’s highest mountain.”

		He was encouraged by the modest success of his film and the progress of the climbers, who he felt sure would crack the problem at their next attempt.

		It’s difficult enough for a sighted person to pick their way through Everest’s icefall, let alone a blind man. Erik’s favorite part of that section were the ladders, because they were consistent and it didn’t matter that they spanned a 100 ft deep crevasse, because he couldn’t see it.

	ICQGreetings.com Amazon Store :: Everest (Large Format)
		My favorite Everest film so far is NGC's "50 Years on the Mountain" NOT to be confused with Surviving Everest, which is completely awful and a sad waste of money.
		I felt that watching the 1997 NOVA Everest special (also available on DVD) on the effects of climbing at high altitudes, helped me to understand what the climbers were going through.
		Filmed in the IMAX format, this film had the luck (or lack thereof) to be shot during the same fateful and fatal climb of Mount Everest chronicled in Jon Krakauer's book, Into Thin Air, in which a group of rich hobby climbers found themselves trapped by a blizzard near the summit.

	Lee HOLDRIDGE Into Thin Air: Death on Everest : Film Music on the Web CD Reviews Feb 2000 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-04)
		American TV movies love the immediacy of true stories, and this 1997 film is based on the stories of two fatal climbing expeditions to Everest in 1996.
		Given the subject matter, the fact that people really died just the year before in the events fictionalised in the film, the film-makers were faced with particularly difficult problems regarding tone, sensitivity and respect for the dead.
		Now at the risk of being accused of discriminating, I am going to suggest that his talent is being wasted to a certain degree, for here is a composer who has the compositional ability, dramatic sensitivity and sense of musical scale to be a cinema composer of the highest rank.

	Everest: The Film: "Filming at the Top of the World"
		The Pig is the $186,000 IMAX® MK II Lightweight camera Breashears took to Mount Everest in 1996 to capture the top of the world's unspeakable beauty.
		Its world premiere scheduled for March 6 at the Museum of Science, Everest is the result of two years of planning, hundreds of rolls of film, and 29,028 feet of mountain.
		Hill may have forgotten about the fun in 1996, because when Breashears was filming on Everest and she and hundreds of others were climbing it, disaster struck-and Breashears stopped filming and started helping the survivors of the most fatal day in Everest history.

		Filmed with almost preposterous clarity, from inventive, changing angles, and using moody time-lapses and little narration, the 75-minute film takes us into the experience of a man climbing this endless mountain without being able to see a single step.
		The Everest Expedition and Filming were sponsored by the National Federation of the Blind and Allegra, a seasonal allergy product.
		The film beautifully captures the emotion, humor and drama of blind climber Erik Weihenmayer’s historic ascent as well as four other remarkable ‘firsts’ on Mount Everest.
