Stunning visuals, however:
I can't recommend this unless you turn off the volume and enjoy the phenomenal visuals.
- The commentary is pompous, grandiloquent and abstract. It creates distance between the viewer and the material.
- The dramatic classical music can be really annoying to listen to and makes it all even more pompous.
- Not anywhere the sites are listed. Where are these mountains?
- There's not much meat on the bone. This could have been released as a slow TV screensaver. This is purely about the mountains. Climbers are just puppets on the mountains.
