Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Captivating movie !

best movie i've ever seen.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This is one of the most amazing stories you will ever watch. I can watch this movie 3 times in one day and still not get bored. Amazing story of survival. The extras on the DVD are also seriously worth taking the time to invest in - interesting to see Simon's reaction to everything that happened. I personally really identify with him but I can see that some people would find his reaction quite cold/callous. I cannot even begin to imagine how Joe felt when he realised he was stranded inside the crevasse and Simon had cut the rope. Only thing in this movie that bothers me is the Boney M song - quite disturbing at the point at which it is played! 100% must view movie.

It's hard to understand why anyone would want to do this kind of climbing. The views must be exhilarating but the climbers say so little about them.The chilling statistic that 80% of climbing accidents occur on the descent is acted out on this snowy Peruvian peak as the chilly Joe Simpson and far friendlier Simon Yates are forced to make their way down separately.The documentary is strongest in showing in grueling detail what the gravely injured Simpson must do to survive. It could have done a lot better examining the psychological repercussions of Yates' having cut a dangling Simpson from his rope, leaving him to tumble into a crevasse.Despite its failings this is an amazing story of fortitude and survival. I looked the main characters up on Wikipedia and was not surprised to learn that Yates became notorious as "the man who cut the rope" and Simpson not only went on to climb other peaks but also found work as a motivational speaker.

This film is a long drawn out boring documentary about 2 idiots. Its interesting if your a climber maybe.I'm sorry but these two idiots deserved everything. They asked for. I mean why would something not happen when you're climbing dangerous uncharted mountains. They were prepared to sacrifice their lives for stupid yuppie risks. They sound selfish and self absorbed and narcissistic spoilt rich brats.At the start one of the men says they didn't care about anyone or anything except there climbing. Have no sympathy for these 2 prats. Pair of selfish self absorbed toffs. Again IMDb high rating for terrible films shows peoples low level of intelligence and worship off narcissists.

Touching the void is a documentary/reenactment of what happened when Simon Yates and Joe Simpson climbed the mountain Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes. It's about Joe trying to get back to base camp after having a nasty fall resulting in a broken leg. He had to do this all on his own, seeing that his friends believed he was dead. The actors do such a incredible job, I thought all of this was really happening. The movie has a lot of suspense, which made me actually fear for Joe's life. It has a lot of great camera-work, especially when they show the exterior shoots of the mountains. There isn't really anything bad I can say about this movie. It's just a really well made documentary/reenactment.This gets a perfect 10/10 from me!
