Judging from that second clip, sounds like typical place-filling, hand-wringing strings bullshit (see most any Marvel score, the "Obliviate" cue from Desplat's Potter, every other score from the past 10 years), but the music in that section of the BTS was all right.

At the end of the movie, you find out that all of the climbers were miniature figurines in Kim's bedroom, and all of the storms and avalanches in the movie are but mere flakes coming off of poor Edward's ice sculptures. Pretty cool twist, but these damned reboots, man...

Saw this film last night.
Solid, well-made adventure film.
Good characters, great photography/FX, tense and exciting.
I know it really happened an' all, but it's still hard to feel complete sympathy for people who PUT THEMSELVES IN HARM'S WAY for some crazy self-serving ideal, which risks other people too.
I think Josh Brolin has forgot he's NOT Tommy Lee Jones anymore!
If I hadn't known the score was by Marianelli, I would have guessed someone like Ramin Djawadi or Brian Tyler. The usual percussion/drum beats, some emo' strings and piano, plus a bit of wailing.
As I was watching it, hearing things like The Hilary Step and Doug at Summit being mentioned made me remember Lee Holdridge's astounding score for the cable/TV film done years back about the same real-life incident.
To imagine this film (with it's fantastic production values) capped with the Holdridge score - instead of the programme-by-numbers one we got - would have taken it to whole new heights (hoho).
Another sad reminder of what we've come to expect now from standard Hollywood fare.

I saw this movie in 3D this afternoon. Initially very exciting but ultimately sad.I'm not usually a great lover of 3D but there are some stunning shots in 'Everest'. I left the cinema relieved that I was in London on a pleasant Autumn day rather than in the snow ice and high altitude of the worlds highest mountain. You come away wondering how some of these tourist mountaineers are ever allowed to participate in such a dangerous endeavour. Definitely worth seeing on the big screen.
Dario Marianelli's score is, apart from a driving end title, generally quite laid back and ethereal in line with the beauty of the mountains and the nature of the story but is there supporting the film effectively. Will buy the CD because I like this kind of understated brooding score.
