Jake Gyllenhaal is just one of many Hollywood stars bracing the cold in Everest
By Jordan and Eddie on 15/09/2015
It feels like sometime since we were last treated to an out and out adventure/survival film, a sub-genre that once ruled our cinema screens with memorable tales like the Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno, and while players like Roland Emmerich with his 2012’s and Days After Tomorrows provide the fun and some popcorn visuals and the Rock brings his likeability to events like this year’s San Andreas, it’s been sometime since we’ve had a true classic. Enter Everest.
Released in cinema screens this week the world over, Baltasar Kormákur’s seemingly visually stunning film with a star studded cast could just be the event film we’ve been longing for, whether we knew it or not.
It’s safe to say we here at Jordan and Eddie are looking forward to catching Everest in the coming days on the biggest screen available to us, and below are a couple of short clips/trailers that showcase just why you should be gearing up to climb Everest (as in getting some popcorn and coke… and a choc-top) as well.
Happy watching!

Are you excited for Everest? Who do you think will be the star of the loaded cast? Let us know in the comments below, we’d love to hear your thoughts!
I watched the movie in an early preview and loved it! You can find a review on it on my blog if you want to check it out.
Ah lucky you! Really excited for this one now.

Reblogged this on GUM: Growing Up Millennial.
Hi guys – you won’t be disappointed (I hope), it’s a really good movie and is unexpectedly moving as well – enjoy!
Oh that’s fantastic Dull – I have recently heard it’s great with the emotion as well so thinking this Thursday night will give it a run 🙂

Really been getting jazzed about this, my only concern being the absolutely stacked cast. I hope it’s not too distracting. Other than that, all the pieces are in place for a potential classic epic adventure film, like you say.
Yeh mate agreed, I get that feeling Mr. Worthington and Jakey boy might meet an early end. The reviews for it have really sparked my keenness.

Looking forward to seeing this one later in the week. I hope it doesn’t sensationalise the story to much though.
Looking forward to hearing if you like it 🙂

Saw a trailer for Everest in IMAX. Likely will include some of the most breathtaking sequences we’ll see in theaters all year…and provide lasting memories as well.
Oh awesome mate. I have heard now off a few people that the IMAX version of this film is a real event.

So far my thoughts have been a bit meh… looking forward to reading some more reviews before deciding whether to see it or not.
Should able to check this out tomorrow 🙂

Okay you now have me excited to see this movie. Well written post
Worth a look on the big screen for sure Jordan.

I wonder… with a movie like this, maybe 3D won’t be a waste of money?
I reckon one of the rare occasions where this is the case mate!
E
hehe yeah I imagine so, with it being based on a giant bloody mountain. I’ve heard the 3D really makes some of the views look amazing so I’m gonna shell out the extra 4 bucks for it 😀
Hope it’s worth it mate 🙂
