Customer Reviews

good movie, good principles
My fiance bought this movie for my mom: she likes "family time" with us, but she hates violent or shallow movies (unlike some of the rest of us in the family!) So this was a good option for everyone: "MOVIE NIGHT" for the movie lovers, yet BILLY GRAHAM for momma (who actually became a Christian through one of his TV shows some 30 years ago!)

Good movie, but not so cheesy as other Christian movies I've watched. I definitely recommend it! :-) It's a good principles movie that gets the point across without the cheesy music and bad filming---in fact, the VIDEO quality itself is as good as any other movie in my opinion.... :-) Hope you like it!

The Climb Delivers
I was introduced to Christian films through a local radio station (Z88.3 FM) purely by accident. They were promoting the Christian film "Fireproof" with child star Kirk Cameron. I did go see the movie and I really thought it was wonderful. But I digress.

The Climb is a Billy Graham creation. I know many people out there have strong negative opinions about Billy Graham, but I truly think he was chosen for Christ's work.

It's about a strong, gifted, and VERY arrogant mountain climber with his eye on the most challenging mountain. (Sorry I can't remember the name but it's either in Peru or Chile). He is so narcissist that he thinks he can do this climb alone. He and another climber rescue the son of a business tycoon who decides to "reward" them by fronting the expense for the "ultimate climb".

I won't go further into this, but the battle of wills begins. These two are such opposites that it almost ruins both their dream.

This is a MUST SEE - although sometimes predictable it touches the heart. Anyone can relate to what each climber has gone through - grief, vanity, anger, etc...

Very moving!
Not to be missed!
2 solo climbers take part in a daring rescue which earns them a chance to achieve a dream - climbing Mount Chicanagua in the Chilean Andes.
2 very different characters now team up to reach their goal.
Derrick is a take-life-to-the-edge, I-love-me-who-do-do-you-love? person, while Michael takes life as it comes and has a strong relationship with God & his family.
Michael says in answer to Derrick's disgust at finding he is a Christian "I don't preach, but I do speak my mind!" The film is convincing, but not "preachy" with a strong message of sacrificial love & forgiveness.
