SN, I actually watched VL on Netflix a few weeks ago - or tried to. Like you said, the cinematography was nice, but the plot was just zero-stars awful. Helicopter heaven at base camp and everyone carries multiple syringes of injectable Dex. Oh, and let's all haul a few pounds of highly unstable nitro-glycerine up the mountain . . .

I was disappointed Ed Viesturs agreed to appear in such a shabby production. I'd much rather read about a legit ordeal such as Alan's than waste my time on a flick like VL.
