I have to tell you, I’ve been looking forward to seeing Everest for quite a while now. I sadly missed it in theaters but have been eagerly waiting for it to hit home video to check it out.
Well… I don’t have to wait any longer, because it’s out today on Blu-ray, HD and 3D!
Unbridled ambition, a ferocious storm, and the limits of human endurance collide at the top of the world in the white-knuckle adventure Everest, coming to Digital HD on December 22, 2015, and 3D Blu-ray™, Blu-ray™, DVD and On Demand on January 19, 2016, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Following a pair of expeditions to the highest point – and most dangerous place – on Earth, Everest captures the brutal majesty of the deadly peak, and the boundless courage required to conquer it, with breathtaking cinematography and spectacular storytelling. Exclusive extras make Everest a can’t-miss, must-own event, bringing viewers behind-the-scenes for a look at the making of the film, as well as astonishing insights about the real-life 1996 summit attempt that inspired it.
Inspired by the incredible events surrounding an attempt to reach the summit of the world’s highest mountain, Everest documents the awe-inspiring journey of two different expeditions challenged beyond their limits by one of the fiercest snowstorms ever encountered by mankind. Their mettle tested by the harshest elements found on the planet, the climbers will face nearly impossible obstacles as a lifelong obsession becomes a breathtaking struggle for survival.

8 day canoe trip that sucked from the start…. we left 1/2 our food behind, a raccoon got to 1/2 of what was left, tang and cheerios arent as tasty as it sounds. bee stings and staff firings and i will not be going canoeing ever again.
I try not to have death defying moments! A couple of years ago, we were almost caught in a flash flood on the Kansas Turnpike-not a fun experience!
I fell of a roof and have been electrocuted three times
I almost drove off a cliff where the road had washed out.
When I was a toddler, I once snuck past my dad, who fell asleep on the sofa, and my mom was in the bathroom at the moment, I managed to open the back sliding glass door to our upstairs pack patio and crawled over the railing, I slipped and I was hanging off the outer edge of the balcony/patio with just my finger tips! I cried aloud! My dad came out and grabbed me in the nick of time, and saved my life! Because I would have fell twenty feet to my certain death in just seconds!
The only really death defying moment I can think of is when I went skydiving in Spain. It was odd though. Heights have never been a problem for me, but I figured I would at least be a little nervous. Never was, not even when I was hanging out the door ready to fall. Probably the most peaceful I’ve ever felt. Can’t wait to do it again.
I love Jake Gyllenhaal, Such a great actor!
Jake Gyllenhaa has become one of my favorite actors over the last 15 years. He has amassed a collection of roles to match anything any other actor has done in that same time.
Josh Brolin and Jake Gyllenhaal are both wonderful actors! I really want to see this film.
This sounds like a great movie, they are both good actors.
I fell on the ice getting the mail and shredded the tendons on both legs!
