DVD Reviews of National Geographic - Everest 50 Years on the Mountain
DVD Review: stunning
Summary: 5 Stars
A stunning documentary that puts you through so many emotions. Disbelief, wonder, admiration.....just to name a few. You start out thinking these people are crazy, risk takers who deliberately put themselves in a life or death situation. You think that you would never do something as crazy as this and wonder why they do. But then you end with an understanding that it is a passion; a triumph of spirit. No different than the astronauts who risk as much going into space. Do you give up because there are bodies on this mountain? Did we stop space exploration because of the shuttle casualities? No; they push onward because that's what explorers do. If we all could have this much courage in our lives, think of all that we could accomplish. I am in awe of the explorers.
Very pleased with this product and would order from this seller again.

Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent narrative on the World's Highest Mountain. Filmed expertly and true to the history of the mountain. I highly recommend this DVD if you really want to see Everest without climbing to the Lhotse Face. This a great family adventure that you can enjoy and be unashamed to include, in the viewing, your children or grandchildren.DVD Review: Must see for Everest students
Summary: 5 Stars
Ever since watching the Discovery channel series on Everest I have been hooked on the mountain. This movie has helped me continue to get my "adrenelene fix" just by watching it. Not only is the historical footage and info incredible, but the actual footage near the top helped me realize just how much "exposure" the climbers have on the final ridge with sheer drop offs on both sides. If you have any interest in Everest or mountain climbing, this dvd is a great one to own.DVD Review: Good Movie
Summary: 3 Stars
Enjoyable movie - I had hoped to see more of the mountain and the trails going up it.
