MacGillivray Freeman Films
A Sherpa employed to haul film and equipment
during the making of the movie Everest
ponders the task. The fiim, funded in part by
Science World, opens today in Vancouver.

Omni-fverest

TO describe the new movie Everest as a little
over the top may be a bad pun.

Its also true. Setting out to do what had never been
done before — capture an Everest ascent on 65-MM
IMAX formar film — the new Omnimax movie, like the
filmmakers that made it, goes to the top and then some
in telling 2 truly awe-inspiring tale. The feet that the
movie is screened on a floor-to-ceiling curved screen just
adds to the vertigo-inducing atmosphere.

The 42-minute filra, opening today at Science World
in Vancouver, was made during 1996, 3 tragic climbing
scason in the Himalayas that saw two of the most
experienced mountaineers in the world dic leading
commercial treks to the summit. At a preview screening
Tuesday evening, Everest director David Breashears, who
has stood on top of the mountain on four separate occa-
sions, said of the buy-your-way-to-the-top enterprise: “I
don’t understand why people are there who have put on
crampons for the first time just two months ago.”

Indeed. Do the next best thing — sce the movie.

— Andrew McCredie
