Rewarding December 28, 2008
This was a very good movie in very good taste. It was both entertaining and morally thoughtful.
The Climb December 28, 2008
The climb was very well done with a strong message of faith without being cheesy. Our whole family enjoyed it and they are fussy viewers.
A Natural High December 17, 2008
The Climb is an adventure experience you won't soon forget. Lots of movies that have good action have inane (what I call cotton-candy - you might use the term boring) dialogue. Others have wonderful dialogue but a dearth of action, a situation which could cause a viewer to think about having the oil changed in the car or getting a manicure before the end of the movie. This one combined both (action and dialogue not oil change and manicure) very nicely. The ingredient that makes a movie gripping is conflict and the tension that accompanies it.
I will be looking for more Billy Graham movies, hoping they're as good as this. As touched as I was by the movie, I'm not about to sign up soon to conquer Mount Everest, but I have developed an appreciation and understanding for the sport of climbing. In actuality, I think it would be extremely cool (not to mention cold) to sit on top of a mountain and look down at everything in the distance. In my case, I'll wait until Heaven when my acrophobia is just a distant memory.

good movie, good principles November 19, 2008
My fiance bought this movie for my mom: she likes "family time" with us, but she hates violent or shallow movies (unlike some of the rest of us in the family!) So this was a good option for everyone: "MOVIE NIGHT" for the movie lovers, yet BILLY GRAHAM for momma (who actually became a Christian through one of his TV shows some 30 years ago!)
Good movie, but not so cheesy as other Christian movies I've watched. I definitely recommend it! :-) It's a good principles movie that gets the point across without the cheesy music and bad filming---in fact, the VIDEO quality itself is as good as any other movie in my opinion.... :-) Hope you like it!
The Climb Delivers November 17, 2008
I was introduced to Christian films through a local radio station (Z88.3 FM) purely by accident. They were promoting the Christian film "Fireproof" with child star Kirk Cameron. I did go see the movie and I really thought it was wonderful. But I digress.
The Climb is a Billy Graham creation. I know many people out there have strong negative opinions about Billy Graham, but I truly think he was chosen for Christ's work.
It's about a strong, gifted, and VERY arrogant mountain climber with his eye on the most challenging mountain. (Sorry I can't remember the name but it's either in Peru or Chile). He is so narcissist that he thinks he can do this climb alone. He and another climber rescue the son of a business tycoon who decides to "reward" them by fronting the expense for the "ultimate climb".
I won't go further into this, but the battle of wills begins. These two are such opposites that it almost ruins both their dream.
This is a MUST SEE - although sometimes predictable it touches the heart. Anyone can relate to what each climber has gone through - grief, vanity, anger, etc...
