Loved it for its beauty and adrenaline. The audio was also excellent (music, sound for effect). I noticed it's not entirely realistic from the first rock climb. Luckily I'm not a climber, so I could ignore all that and just be entertained. The girls were excellent. It was a treat to get that father too, from The Good Wife. I think the oddities people had issue with were intended to be more symbols than strict realism. With that, there were more levels to think about, and I like to think on other levels as well as to be entertained and see beautiful things. The girls on the tower in the middle of nowhere is pure art to look at. So I loved this, and I hate everything. Really. It did an amazing job and seemed like it wasn't trying to impress us, but in the end I was impressed. I guess, because their failures put the audience in a place where they did imagine they could be those characters, unlike excellent climbers in all the gear on a sheer face. Their mistakes made them more human and relatable. If this was a clever manipulation of the audience I'm even more impressed than just making a beautiful tense interesting film with actors which never turned me away. Or maybe I just find the predicament a problem which I need to solve, and the view is like flying, strangely without a plane. It's kind of fantastic, but unsettlingly too close to home.
