The Alps on IMAX

I just posted a "Screening Log" entry on Not Coming to a Theater Near You about the new IMAX movie, The Alps. From my entry:

"Unlike some IMAX productions, The Alps has a
clear storyline: climber John Harlin III, whose namesake fell from the north
face of the Eiger when the younger Harlin was only 8 or 9 years old, has
returned to Switzerland to conquer the route that killed his father. He brings with him his wife and
young daughter, and while they seem understanding and supportive of his quest,
I can’t help but question how a man who was left fatherless could risk doing
the same to his own child."

I thought this might be the kind of thing some Matador members might like to weigh in on - I have yet to elicit a comment on any of my movie reviews so fire away! (I know I know I know... I'm not a climber so I just don't get it.)
