Been There. Done That.

Everest (2015)
Starring: James Brolin, Keira Knightley, Samson Worthington, Jake Gyllylenghall, Emily Longbottom Aleksandr Skarrsgard Directed by: Baltasar Korningdog Rating: PG-13 Genre: Action/Comedy
Review Comedy misfire in which a team of self-proclaimed "nerds" think they can "take" Everest by programming their brains and emotions into robots who are forced to do all of the hard work. Unfortunately Putin-lookalike Skarrsgard ("Willie Wonka 2: Death by Chocolate") has Russian mobsters program weather drones to rain on their parade.  

Hollywired is clearly in thrall to Jeff "Amazon" Bozos and weirdball "futurist" hobbit-featured alien Ray "Kurzweil" who plan to "upload" themselves into Roomba vaccuum cleaners and "hoover" across the planet until they can figure out how to reverse the big bang and be there at their own births. Give this one a miss and check out "The Lives and Times of Grizzly Adams" for a movie about how a real man challenges the elements (clue: He guts a bear and inhabits its skin).
