4 out of 5 stars Breathtaking Visuals    October 20, 2008
Steven D. Hanks (Ohio, USA)
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.


5 out of 5 stars good entertainment    September 26, 2008
Lily Simple (USA)
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.

I was on a High when I've received me DVD.. 5 months after waiting on another site., I just couldn't wait anymore..It's a huge trip in this mountain's journey! Couldn't speak and still I was crying...
A very good film with in background some Queen's tunes., not too bad for a Huge fan of Queen...
It's a product that I recommend deeply...

4 out of 5 stars Beautiful!    April 21, 2008
Andrea (Michigan)
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.


5 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Film    March 4, 2008

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.
