I went to a preview showing of this on Tuesday evening and I believe it is shortly to be on general release.
Because of the nature of the film it won't be at your local 'Roxy' anytime soon but perhaps some discerning venues will show it.
It is a documentary about Alex Honnold and his bid to be the first person to free climb 'Free-rider' on Yosemite's El Capitan. What this means is that he attempts to climb an extremely difficult rock face that is over 3000' high (sheer granite) without ropes or any artificial aid.
It is more than just a film about a climb, it is about us and our spirit that gets us into the hills and wild places.
The filming is absolutely stunning and even as a climber the first five minutes were almost making me feel dizzy/sick - just looking at what he was doing, so high above the valley floor.
Even if you don't have any interest in rock climbing (Mrs IM doesn't and she was impressed) it's worth seeing just for the views of Yosemite.
Here is the official National Geographic trailer and contrary to how Hollywood often publicise films, these aren't just the best bits - the bulk of the film is like this all the way through.
One mistake and that's it. As somebody in the film says - " it's like going into the Olympics to win gold and if you don't win gold, you die"

If you get chance to see it, I hope you enjoy it too.
