Beyond the Edge Ratings & Reviews
Critic's Notebook
Sarah Manvel
We are learning to forget basic human achievements on their own. The Sherpas who have lost their families and friends know better of course. A movie like this is a sharp and well-made reminder to the rest of us.
The Film Stage
John Fink
The recreations are excellent, right down the props, visual effects and costumes, unlike a great deal of History Channel documentaries.
Eye for Film
Amber Wilkinson
Pooley and cinematographer Richard Bluck bring the story to life - along with the vivid possibility of death -- and the big screen is the place to see it.

Robert Levin
You can't help but wonder how much more someone like Werner Herzog could have done with the story.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
It's all rendered in 3D, with the archival footage reformatted; you'll feel the Everest chill and gape at the astonishing vistas.
NPR
Ella Taylor
Recalled in the somewhat breathless History Channel-style voice-overs of the participants and their families, the journey was a triumph of guts, perseverance, endurance, ingenuity and teamwork.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
This absorbing account of the first recorded summit of the world's highest mountain is a rare documentary for which re-enactments make complete sense.
Tolucan Times
Tony Medley
...cinematography is magnificent, the scenery stunningly beautiful, and the recreations are woven into the narrative so seamlessly that they are almost unnoticeable...one of the best mountain-climbing movies.
New York Daily News
Graham Fuller
Though impressively shot, the doc is a weak advertisement for 3-D.
Village Voice
Diana Clarke
Like a mountaineer grappling on sheet ice, the film's focus on performance can result in a loss of footing.
