The narrative wasn’t particularly strong, yet the film itself proved remarkable. Thinking of the tower as essentially the central figure really helps understand the movie. My initial reaction involved imagining the complaints about climbing techniques from viewers. From the beginning, the film is quite jarring but straightforward regarding its simplified portrayal of "climbing." I had to make a conscious effort not to worry about how accurate it was because doing so would be unfair; it’s a story, an invention, and shouldn't be evaluated based on its realism, but rather on its ability to transport you. I willingly let go of reality and found myself enjoying the film more as a result. I felt uneasy and anxious during scenes depicting gravity's vastness, so high up—2000ft above ground! The characters seemed willing to accept death at any moment. The tension was constant and intense. Even when the dialogue feels somewhat absurd, there are elements that can significantly elevate the film’s quality, possibly conveyed through visuals rather than just the writing itself. Consider the cinematography: the skillful way it portrays tension by showing bolts rattling with unsettling metallic sounds under the strain of their weight. The drone shots emphasize the terrifying nature of such a remote location. It truly seemed like a passion project for the filmmakers; they immediately recognized the potential of the setting. The story felt secondary, serving as a means to showcase this impressive and overwhelming depiction of fear of heights. I was drawn in by the movie poster because I thought that even if it wasn’t brilliant, the premise itself was intriguing enough. If you consider the tower as the main character, it didn't speak at all but dominated every scene. The story felt like unnecessary padding, but what a great film it turned out to be. I found myself repeatedly frustrated by how unrealistic and reckless the climbing appeared. However, I don’t think anyone would watch this film for a tutorial on climbing. It doesn't even attempt to capture climbing's artistic side, which is its biggest weakness. I appreciated how the story revolved around overcoming fears through a metaphorical climb, and I’m sure many climbers connected with that idea and were reminded of it. A missed opportunity was failing to explain why the characters are pursuing this endeavor.
