Preview: North Face (2010)

Synopsis:

The story of two German mountain climbers and their attempts to scale a previously-unvisited summit in order to bring themselves and their country glory.

• Poster: B-

Review:

The landscape is gorgeous, but feels rather inert even with a climber dangling down the mountain's face.

• Trailer: C+

Review:

You would think that a film about climbers trying to summit a new mountain and finding themselves faced with dangers would be more exciting. There is some excitement in the trailer, but overall, it's rather uninvolving.

Oscar Prospects:

None
