Yes …that’s right…this movie clearly says that don’t mess around at Himalayas because everything that looks beautiful has the dangerous side.
This movie has to be watched by every person who wants to enjoy the scenic beauty of the Himalayas and the dangerous side of the Himalayas.
If Himalayas had been human being then this would have been the ideal title

I just saw this movie yesterday night and was waiting to write a review, and the first thing in the morning even before checking my email, I am writing about this fantastic Movie
The movie is very simple with no complicated plot, this movie is all about stunts .. stunts and more stunt.
If you have seen the movie Cliff Hanger and liked a lot, then this movie is going to be in the same par as Cliff Hanger.
The Story
The opening sequence of the movies is the best one of this year. So don’t miss the opening. The character of the movies, Dad(Staurt Wilson) , son Peter(Chris O’Donnell) and the daughter Ann(Robin Tunney) are shown climbing a rock (Similar to some extent like MI-2) and the tragic has to happen and the father looses his life to save his children.
(Again, I am saying don’t miss the opening sequence)
Then the scene turns to the Himalayas (the Pakistan section) where a group of climbers including Peter’s sister Ann is going to climb K2 along with the wealthy adventurer Elliot Vaughn (Bill Paxton). During this daring effort the climbers are stuck up in a storm and are stranded at a very high altitude. (Check the storm sequence, it shows how deadly it can be). So now, Ann is lost in the white peak, who’s going to save the sister.. Obviously Peter.
So Peter arranges a team, which comprises of Montgomery Wick (Scott Glenn), a wild-haired abominable snowman that spends his time alone on K2 looking for his dead wife, lost in an expedition years earlier. There’s the French-Canadian beauty Monique (Izabella Scorupco); Tom McLaren (Nicholas Lea), the levelheaded leader of Vaughn’s climb; two wacky Australian brothers (Steve Le Marquand and Ben Mendelsohn); (DON’T MISS THESE GUYS, THEY ARE INDEED ABSOLUTELY FUNNY) and Kareem (Alexander Siddig), the big-hearted Muslim porter
Then start the stunts, which you will really remember. Especially the one where Peter jumps from one hill to the other.
There is nothing more to write as regards to the story line, just watch the beautiful scenic beauty of the Himalayas.
Conclusion
Don’t miss the movie what ever be the case.
Note
In this movie they have shown more of Pakistan and the Pakistan army helping these climbers. (It was like watching a Pakistan promoted movie) But forget that and go ahead watch the movie.
This also shows that how our Indian army men must be facing the trouble of fighting the weather more than the enemy (In this movie no Indian soldier has been shown but just a note)
I am going to watch this movie again…so it is the best bet for your weekend.
