About
You’ll like Everest if you enjoy realistic, survival-focused disaster stories set in extreme nature and drawn from true events; Not for you if you want a more traditional hero fantasy or lots of uplifting adventure, and you may also prefer Only the Brave or Thirteen Lives instead.
Pros: gripping survival tension; stunning mountain visuals; grounded true-story feel | Cons: confusing character focus; some slow stretches; heavy grief tone
