"Experienced" climbers. Yeah right.
Let me first go with a good stuff. I believe that visuals are quite good and are vertigo inducing. I also liked the commentary on social networks where people are unnecessarily putting themselves in danger in order for extra likes.
And then we are getting to the "climbing" part. WTF was that during the beginning? You never climb side to side. If they were cheap to pay consultant on climbing, there are more than enough free YouTube videos that would explain how it is performed or ask ChatGPT which would probably give the correct answer. The first scene where guy dies could easily be filmed as rope being cut off the shap edge which would have exactly the same emotional effect, but it would be realistic.
Next, two girls started climbing the tower being tied to each other. That is just calling for two deaths instead of one in the case of anyone slipping how they have portrayed it. Also, speaking about rope, why are "experienced" climbers bringing only a 10-15m rope? Finally, what is with the superhuman strength and stamina?
There were so many things that make no sense and I am not nitpicking some minor things. This movie had potential, but unfortunately it was ruined but someone who thought that they knew what is climbing. - kristian-hall - 26 May 2024
Stretching the willing suspense of disbelief
So the good first. It was thrilling to watch, and I did get sweaty palms. The acting is not bad.
But why did the script writers make them do all the stupid stuff?- Not telling anyone about their trip
- Not packing any realistic supplies, like a longer rope
- Not charging the drone before the trip
- Not clipping in on the platform
- Charging a 120 V drone on an industrial grade bulb that would fry that charger in a nanosecond
- Not using the rope to wrap it around the top section (use the friction to hold it) then lower them down to the main ladder
- As someone else wrote, not using the drone to lower the phone
- Not making a parachute for the phone to safely get it to the ground (they had clothes)
And those evil dudes, as if they wouldn't have alerted the rescue authorities, even after stealing the car. - tomyargo - 13 April 2024
Scare to height and watched..
Life is short, too short. So you gotta use every moment. I watched this movie.
My partner was laughing from my reaction, one moment I start standing and walk around the sofa, terrified... SO my comment is biased.
The movie has so many holes, moments happen and you say 'cmoon , f..k that' It will not gonna ever happen in real life. I was hoping 'Vertical limit' vibe, but I did not take it. Instead I felt cheated, because it is not possible.
However, the pace, character development, thrill, the story were all good. Overall I did not care if it is realistic or holes in it. Because the emotional/psychological message of the movie surpass goofy realism.
Would I recommend? Definitely yes. However, I should warn, do not expect realistic approach. Approach like a fantasy/ dream. And if you scare from heights, watch it..:) - najani-03967 - 6 January 2023
Insanely good,Actresses and crew effort and hard work was mindblowing
This movie insanely good. The amount of afford this actress and crew gave must be appreciated. I wasn't get bore for a single minute 💜 and the scene was really shooted not some CGI . The amount of hardwork they had to do is freaking me out . I felt like i was there myself experienceing this things for real by myself . I'm not gonna spoile so not gonna tell the parts in details but i saw people are picking up some points and saying weakly written is making me upset. They did they're best aleast i felt like they did. It was a hell journey. Loved it so much. Definitely worth watching it in theatre. - imdb-4788 - 24 December 2022
A real experience
This movie is an experience. I was bound to my sofa for most of the time, me heart beating like crazy and I forgot about my surroundings completely.
The camera work is fantastic, no green screen used (most of the movie happens on a real 100ft tower built for this movie on a mountain so it looks like they are up 2000 feet). The climbing and stunts are really breathtaking, literally.
While one can argue that no one in her right mind would ever climb a 2000ft radio tower that is already falling apart, please be aware that sadly young people around the globe ARE doing stunts like this for fame on social media and/or adrenaline kicks. Hanging with one hand from a 300ft crane? Find it on YT, people ARE doing that.
So, the setting is not as absurd as one might think (especially when being older).
The acting is great, especially the blonde girl is playing the danger seeker fantastically.
I'm really afraid of heights, so that added of course to the thrill and suspense.
This movie is not a masterwork that tells a big story. But the story it tells, it tells it flawless and as a movie about height it's one if the best I have seen.
Highly recommend. Even after 20min and now writing this review on the edge. - Anurag-Shetty - 15 December 2022
Edge-of-the-seat survival thriller.
Fall tells the story of best friends Becky(Grace Caroline Currey) & Hunter(Virginia Gardner) who find themselves trapped at the top of a 2,000-foot radio tower. Now, they have to survive insurmountable odds, until someone comes to their rescue.
Fall is an awesome movie. Director Scott Mann has given us a nail-biting & suspenseful thriller where you have no clue what's going to happen next. There are some unnecessary plot points that the film could have gotten rid of, in favor of more spectacle. The set pieces are the highlight of the movie. Grace Caroline Currey is spectacular as Becky Connor. Virginia Gardner is outstanding as Shiloh Hunter. The supporting cast is excellent. Fall is worth a watch for survival thriller fans. Just lower your expectations a tad bit. - jimmycoffin-751-212853 - 6 December 2022
Stupidity beyond belief
Why the movie Fall doesn't work, It's impossible to relate to these suicidal teens.
They keep saying -Don't let fear win etc.. what?? The message and reasoning behind why the girls start climbing this rusty death tower Is so bizarre and skew.
One could have thought of 1000 better reasons to overcome sadness and loss. Like taking a vacation or perhaps get a new lover. Something that doesn't involve her boyfriend and best friends death. No no.. They totally deserve everything that's coming for them.
Similar movies like frozen, 124 hours etc Is more relatable because the main characters ends up In life or death situations against their will.
In fall they end up in the worst case scenario by their own stupidity. And even towards the end they still believe they haven't done nothing wrong?? If this was real life, these are the dangerous, callousness people. Those Who hurt others just to reach their own goals.
It's just impossible to root for such stupidity.
Bravery Is in the eye of the beholder, I think It would have been more brave If the daughter With the daddy issues just grew up instead of living her life on a thread. - lordphantom-33467 - 30 November 2022
Unbelievably Good
I can't praise this movie high enough. I always recommend this one to friends and family. Heights are one of my biggest fears, so this movie really struck me personally. However, I think even if you don't have that fear, your enjoyment won't be affected.
The terror in this is very different from other 'scary' movies. Although I wouldn't classify this as a horror film, it definitely does deliver the scares.
How high the main characters climb is surreal but yet still believable. The acting is great, the suspense is great. It's well paced. I would say go see this film. You will not be disappointed. - Jester222 - 21 November 2022
The Descent for people with a fear of heights. . Well done.
Well done to the film makers.
Not been so scared by a film since a child This is like THE DESCENT where that used claustrophobia this uses fear of heights and uses it well.
If not scared of heights then unsure whether it will Damn.
I almost turned it off numerous times. Sweaty palms and looking away from the screen. Ha ha. Not ashamed to say it made me genuinely scared.
No film has ever done that and I've seen everything, desensitised to all violence and gore.
I guess by tapping I to a real life fear it greatly increased the thrill.
People who hate Spiders may be the same with Arachnophobia the film.
The story is very basic, and also borrow another plot point from The Descent (which I won't spoil) but it's no huge twist.
After a tragedy where she loses her husband her best friend takes her to a huge mast to conquer her fears and get back her life.
As you have seen In the trailer and poster.....I all goes bad.
The ending seemed a little rushed and was a bit disappointing that didn't see certain moments that would have added and brought it to an end better. But it's a small thing.
I would love to see the making of this.
Well done to all inolved. You did an extremely rare thing and made me squirm and sweat watching a film. Bravo.
