Considering the danger, spectacular setting and sheer derring-do of its subject matter, this is pretty leaden stuff. Disappointing.

Beyond the Edge is the historical recounting of Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary's monumental and iconic ascent of Mt. Everest in 1953 - an event that stunned the world and defined a nation. Shown in 3D, this film showcases breathtaking visuals, never-before-seen interviews, and dramatic recreations of actual events.

What are critics saying?
It may not have the jeopardy of Touching The Void, but when Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary finally reach the summit, we’re treated to an early candidate for one of 2014’s most transcendent film moments. This is genuinely inspirational stuff, and then some.
The New York Times by 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.
With the facts so poignant, there's little that needs dramatizing.
