So Many Missed Opportunities...

A once in a lifetime opportunity with the brilliance and daring of such great men at the top of their game can NOT be crammed into 55 minutes. NatGeo has become a corner cutting 'Hack' when it comes to exploring the many visual wonders that are deserving of far more time needed to show them properly, and with the richness they deserve. Instead of really showing us just WHAT was on top of the Tepui, which I am sure is what most people were waiting for, they attempted mainly to involve us in the emotional human drama that concerned mainly the assent, and lament of it being Bruce's last opportunity to do what he was no longer capable of doing. I know that distributors of videos prefer the 90 minute-or-less variety, but NatGeo totally wasted what could have been one of the most epic documentaries ever put on the screen. It was a hack-job of almost useless visual cliff notes put together by talented, but jaded amateurs. Such a criminal waste of so many VAST opportunities is both shameful and contemptible.

NatGeo needs to put together their own distribution standards for their own channel(s) and for export, and stop following the Hollywood's superficial playbook. This should have been at least 2, to 2 and a half hours long, and that still wouldn't have scratched much of the surface, but at least it wouldn't have been an insultingly short, disappointing mess that missed its mark right out of the gate. Anyway, maybe next time...

Free Solo in the Amazonas with an interesting side topic

An exciting but unfortunately superficial documentary, with two interesting protagonists - The eighty-year-old biologist Bruce Means brings the world-famous climber Alex Honold into his research team to climb a mountain in the Amazon to discover undiscovered nature there.

It's a pity that the documentary is so short and therefore remains quite superficial. Alex Honold, as always, seems relaxed and purposeful, seems a bit apathetic in the documentary abee - which sometimes takes the tension a little. All in all, an exciting topic and worth seeing.
