They spent hours in a desert walking and climbing up a tower with no water nor food. A little water sip on the second day. Yet they had strength to climb. Totally unrealistic. Seasoned rock climbers wouldn't have been this dumb.
shareExactly. I loved the way they were able to pull each other up with just one hand. Very strong girls.
shareYou know any rock climbers?
shareThere's no way even the strongest rock climbers, or Dwayne Johnson for that matter, would be able to grab a rope slithering through their hands with a person freefalling on the other end, no anchors, and then just stop it, followed by reeling the person up to the top going hand over hand. A freaking gorilla wouldn't be able to do that.
shareThis movie fails as a documentary about climbing. It's as if they intended it for entertainment or something.
shareIt's only entertaining (to me anyway) if it feels real enough that it makes my pulse pound and I catch my breath. It did this very effectively for quite a while, and then it lost me when it became so obviously unrealistic.
shareI thought this too, and the Brunette one should have been completely out of shape, as she was hadn't been active for a year since her husbands death. She was just drinking a lot and basically not living. Yet somehow she suddenly was strong enough to do a heap of stuff, especially dehydrated and hungry. Unrealistic.
shareWhen she reached the top to get the light bulb, I though there was no way she could do that. Especially after being left there for days tired and dehydrated.
shareIt's worse than that. The fittest/strongest person in the world (not just the fittest woman), on full rest, hydration, and nutrition, would not be able to do what Hunter did in arresting her friend's fall and then pulling her back up.
