Mountaineer Hong-Gil Um sets out to climb Mt. Everest to retrieve his junior climbing partner's body.

Ben Kenigsberg

New York Times

"The Himalayas" is a broad comedy, a buddy movie, a mountain climbing adventure and a cornball weepie, not always in proportions that go well together.

Village Voice

Director Lee Suk-hoon proves a capable (if uninspired) hand at meeting genre expectations; rest assured that ladders will precariously bridge crevasses, oxygen levels will drop, and grand speeches will be made as our heroes face near-certain death.

While it's hard not to feel frustrated at the thought of a more tightly edited and less hysterical take, Lee nevertheless offers up a couple of hours of polished entertainment

Rated: 3/5

A formulaic glut of schmaltzy clichs and cheap-looking visuals packed into a predictable, witless, braindead script. If someone had pushed the film cans for The Himalayas off a mountain, we'd be all the better for it.

Rated: 2/5

Las Vegas Weekly

There's a lot of crying and wailing for a movie about hardened adventurers, and it eventually drowns out any potential excitement.

Rated: 2/5

Film Journal International

For hardy souls who like hardy film fare, this Korean mountain-climbing epic should be worth the trek.

Some of the best and most realistic climbing footage in a film that was not a true documentary.

The plot does have its cliche moments as well as some tonal inconsistencies, but it's well shot and heartfelt.
