DVD Reviews of The Alps (IMAX)

DVD Review: Breathtaking Visuals
Summary: 4 Stars

Breathtaking visuals and awesome footage even in the "non-mountain" scenes. That alone rates this movie a HIGH Recommendation. However, the choice of music was poor and more attention should have been paid to the climb and less to the backstory and peripheral issues. Overall though, an excellent if somewhat short film.

DVD Review: good entertainment
Summary: 5 Stars

My husband and I both loved this. We love climbing and we were entertained by the story line and beautiful scenery. We actually want to take a trip there now. There are some great special feature as well including how they filmed the shots and I must say they had an amazing film crew to get the angles they did. I wouldn't buy it brand new but we bought a "used" dvd and it was like new. I think it's great for inspiring people just to get outside and reminding us that nature is the place to be.

DVD Review: Beautiful!
Summary: 4 Stars

It's an IMAX movie, so it's all about footage and great, soaring shots of the mountains. Includes a bit of history and a personal climbing quest. The Eiger is a challange that dates back forever. See Clint Eastwood's movie or Jon Krakauer's book.

DVD Review: A Beautiful Film
Summary: 5 Stars

I saw "The Alps" at the IMAX theater at the Cincinnati Museum Center back in the fall, and I was very impressed with the film and the overall experience of seeing it in the IMAX format. The photography is beautiful, the setting is quite breathtaking, the music is excellent, and the story is involving, moving and ultimately very inspiring. "The Alps" contrasts the grandeur and majesty of nature with a meditation on the relationships between parents and their children, and does both very well. The film certainly made an impression on me.

Description of The Alps (IMAX)

In the air above Switzerland on the sheer rock-and-ice wall known as the Eiger an American climber is about to embark on the most perilous and meaningful ascent he has ever undertaken: an attempt to scale the legendary mountain that took his renowned father's life. Against a backdrop of overwhelming natural beauty The Alps is a true-life story of extrodinary courage. It's the intensely personal journey of a man who has every reason not to climb the deadly Eiger North Face yet climb it he must.Featuring some of the most spectacular giantscreen imagery yet seen the film celebrates the unsurpassed beauty of the Alps and the indomitable spirit of the people who live there.System Requirements:Running Time: 45 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DOCUMENTARIES/IMAX Rating:?NR UPC:?014381433821 Manufacturer No:?ID4338MVDVD
