Ser el primero en escalar la famosa y tristemente célebre Cara Norte del Eiger es el sueño de muchos alpinistas de toda Europa en el verano de 1936. Los dos principales escaladores alemanes Toni Kurz y Andi Hinterstoisser no pueden pensar en otra cosa. Están convencidos de que pueden lograrlo, aunque muchos intentos han fracasado fatalmente. Pero a los que lleguen primero a la cima, no solo les espera el prestigio social sino también el oro olímpico. (Movistar+)

El cliché trillado del subgénero «drama de aventuras de escalada» (especialmente K2) refresca solo en los últimos 20 minutos. Los personajes también se podrían haber descrito más. Pero con su ejecución técnica de alta calidad, buenos actores y sobre todo el atractivo ambiente bajo el Eiger (y su Cara Norte), la película logra una tensión, un drama y, al final, una emoción decentes. Un trabajo bien hecho, fuerte experiencia emocional. Una peli alemana.

An epic historical story about mountain climbers from the time before the Second World War, which has all the screenwriting pitfalls but also the benefits of an interesting historical story. After all, you will hardly come up with anything extra in this genre, but the shots of the mountains… those will never get old, not in a thousand years.

A solid wartime film focusing on climbers attempting to summit the previously unconquered Mount Eiger. The first hour is quite a yawn, but once you head up the mountain it's a decently chilling spectacle where you can clearly see the power of nature, which certainly has no mercy. Decent survival drama. 75%

The mountaineering part is riveting, free of clichés, realistic (from a layman’s point of view) and often so much so that I would like to see a “making of", because often the mind boggles at “how they were able to film that without the actor actually hanging there at ten thousand feet in the middle of a snowstorm". The problem with the picture is that apart from the mountaineering part, there is a reporting part, following the ascent from basecamp. And that is absolutely unnecessary. Which makes it even more frustrating that it gets as much room as the climbing part. And this carries on until the last forty minutes of the movie. The creators rely heavily on the fact that the viewer already has some knowledge of the Eiger and so not much effort is lost on introducing the mountain. Which is a bit of a shame for those who aren’t “in the know". Somehow I had expected that this movie would be about the first successful attempt at climbing the Eiger by Harrer’s team, so it was a surprise and an enlightening experience to find out otherwise.
