Friend convinces friend to do something dangerous after a tragedy. Isn't this how THE DESCENT started? I think what kinda killed it for me was that I knew before I watched it that it was the same guy who made 47 Meters Down then as soon as we get to that scene and her friend starts acting differently I knew it was the exact same twist. I think the part that frustrates me about these movies is how you need to not apply logic. It can't be scary, because it's so stupid to go up that ladder with no plan b, not contacting someone about your climb, no one at the bottom in case of emergency. The list goes on. These are two stupid people who decided to do something incredibly. Stupid. So the tension is lost. It's no longer scary. It's pointless. So as a climber; this movie was technically wrong in almost all climbing aspects. And it all could have been fixed by asking a climber. Hell give them $100 for a consulting fee. To anyone thinking about making anything about a sport you don't know have extreme knowledge about; hire somebody in that sport. Don't make a skateboard movie without talking to skateboarders, don't make a football movie without talking to football players, and talk to climbers before you make a movie about climbing. The thing that I also find wrong with the movie is that they supposedly don't have cell-phone service when they're at max height but halfway down they have service! This is wrong because of the type of frequencies commonly used by cell-phones: VHF and UHF frequencies operate best at line of sight so the two girls really should have had even better cell-phone service at the height that they were at than at ground-level because they had no obstructions to the line-of-sight to a cell-phone network antenna! Oh well, I guess it's the movies which many times are not technically right!
Plot summary
Drowning in a sea of grief, 51 painful weeks after the life-altering incident that scarred her for life, emotionally fragile rock climber Becky reluctantly decides to confront her fears. And as her thrill-seeking friend Hunter re-enters Becky's ruined life, the two experienced climbers embark on a high-risk climbing adventure to the top of the abandoned 2,000-foot B67 TV tower: an anxiety-inducing, vertigo-inspiring construction of weather-beaten metal and rattling rivets in the middle of the Mojave desert. However, when the peril-laden climb doesn't go as planned, the women must summon up every last ounce of courage and strength to devise a plan for a safe return home--or die trying.

Beck could have confronted her fears in therapy but here we are
A Homage to Dumb YouTubers/Tik Tokers
This is a movie that has his ups and downs. It´s a homage to those dumb YouTubers/Tik Tokers who risk their lives in the most idiotic way possible.
It´s not good that one of the characters in the movie encourages people by saying you should risk your life doing death defying stunts like this because "Life is too short". Well, THAT is THE main reason to NOT risk your life, no matter how many followers and money you could get by risking your life.
It has some good suspenseful moments and most of the CGI is good.
Another downside of the movie is that it has the same plot twist as "47 Meters Down" (2017) and "Adrift" (2018). If you´ve seen those movies you will know what I´m talking about. "Vertical Limit" (2000) is also copycated here right at the beginning.
Enjoyed it for the vertigo
The movie did one thing very well and that is make me feel vertigo. Reading some of the other reviews here I guess if you're a climber than you'll find it unbelievable. Me, I don't get climbing. Regardless of how unrealistic the movie is people do fall to their death and/or get seriously hurt so the risk is there and I felt it in this movie.
I did find the instagram/youtube stuff annoying but wasn't that the entire point, to be annoyed that Shiloh would take such risks just for clicks? On the other hand, once you start getting paid you might be tempted to take it up a notch.
One thing I didn't get, maybe I missed it, is why they didn't try a lineman's pole style to get down. Still, that didn't take away from the thrill.

just climbing a ladder, the end wth
Great original idea, but a little slow and lacking enough story to keep you interested.
I enjoyed it...Intense...and wow the last quadrant...
I have a fear of heights and this was scarier than any horror movie I've ever seen. 10/10
My rating is 5/10, made possible by (1) suspense from the height and (2) the superb cleavage.
Funny! All the posts that didn't like it have been deleted
