It\u2019s a fun, occasionally cheesy, but mostly ingeniously made thriller about two daredevil climbers, Becky (Grace Caroline Currey) and Hunter (Virginia Gardner), who decide to scale the B67 TV tower \u2014 an abandoned 2,049-foot communication tower that juts up in the middle of the California desert, 23 miles from Sacramento. It\u2019s an actual structure, like the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the skyscraper that became the pedestal for Tom Cruise\u2019s you-are-there stunt sequences in \u201cMission: Impossible \u2014 Ghost Protocol.\u201d And if, like me, you loved that movie in part because of how deviously it toyed with your fear of heights, \u201cFall\u201d is likely to hit you as an irresistible piece of vertigo porn. It\u2019s for anyone who ate up \u201cGhost Protocol,\u201d as well as the awesome rock-climbing documentaries \u201cFree Solo\u201d and \u201cThe Dawn Wall,\u201d and wants to continue that shivery vicarious high.<\/p>\n<p>Critics, for some reason, now like to mock the visual sleight-of-hand that goes into a thriller like this one, as if the CGI involved were all too easy to see through. But in this case I couldn\u2019t disagree more. \u201cFall\u201d was shot in the Imax format in the Mojave Desert, and there are moments when I honestly don\u2019t know how the director, Scott Mann, the cinematographer, MacGregor, and the two actors did it. Were they actually on the tower \u2014 and, if so, how high up? Were there stunt people, or was every bit of this brought off with computer trickery?<\/p>\n<p>Built in 1986, the KXTV\/KOVR Tower is the tallest structure in California and the fourth highest in the U.S., and with its photogenic vermilion finish (imagine the Golden Gate Bridge as a rusty hypodermic needle), it turns out to be the perfect setting for a movie about climbing into the sky. As the two women ascend, the desert below looks like something viewed from an airplane. The trick is that the elements of the image are all visually united: tower, horizon, climbers. The film will glide without a cut from close-ups to vertically angled drops to death-defying panoramas; the light and shadow are always just right. You know how it feels when you watch an old movie with rear projection that\u2019s laughably fake? \u201cFall,\u201d by contrast, represents a totally credible and innovative use of CGI. Watching the movie, we believe our eyes and, therefore, our raised pulses.<\/p>\n<p>The two women have agreed to make this climb as a way to wrest Becky out of her funk. In the film\u2019s opening sequence, we see the two ascending a vertical rock face along with Becky\u2019s husband, Dan (Mason Gooding), who winds up plunging to his death. A year passes, and Becky can\u2019t let go \u2014 of him, or of the anxiety that has calcified around the tragedy. Facing her fear, scaling that TV tower along with her best friend (they plan to scatter Dan\u2019s ashes when they get to the top), is the only thing that will purge the demon.<\/p>\n<p>As terrifyingly tall as the tower is, it doesn\u2019t strike us as something that would offer that much of a challenge to highly experienced climbers. There\u2019s a ladder on the inside of the caged needle that goes up for 1,800 feet. For the remaining 200 feet, the ladder is outside the structure. I wouldn\u2019t want to climb 30 feet of it, but these two aren\u2019t scared of heights, and the feat they\u2019ve laid out for themselves looks a hell of a lot easier than shimmying over the smooth plunging rock faces they\u2019re used to. That\u2019s why they succeed pretty quickly. Half an hour into the movie, they\u2019ve ascended to the small circular platform up top.<\/p>\n<p>But along the way the whole structure has been quivering, with telltale shots of a nut or a bolt coming undone here and there. It\u2019s the outside ladder that\u2019s getting loose, and as they take the last steps, a chunk of it falls out from under them, the weight of that chunk pulling the rest of the ladder down with it. Just like that, they\u2019re stranded. The cylindrical pole that\u2019s left is too smooth to climb down. The rope they have isn\u2019t long enough. And though they\u2019ve got their phones, they\u2019re up too high to get service. There is nothing up there but the two of them and their do-or-die ingenuity.<\/p>\n<p>At the start of the movie, Hunter is all giddy enthusiasm, like a Reese Witherspoon go-getter from the \u201990s, and Becky, lost in her malaise, is all po-faced misery and dread. But the actors show you how these two women come alive, and connect, by climbing. It\u2019s through their expressive skill that we believe in what we\u2019re seeing. \u201cFall\u201d was made for just $3 million, and it\u2019s good enough to remind me of another perilous small-scale thriller centered on two people doing all they can to survive: \u201cOpen Water,\u201d the scary 2003 indie that basically extended the opening sequence of \u201cJaws\u201d over 80 minutes. <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Movies<\/a> like these come with built-in narrative devices \u2014 like, for instance, the soap-opera revelation that comes up between Becky and Hunter. There are moments when the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a> overdoes the millennial effrontery, especially when it\u2019s focused on Hunter\u2019s identity as a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a>r who wants to document the whole climb for her 60,000 followers (\u201cThis bad boy is over 2,000 feet tall, and your homegirls are going to be climbing to the tippy tippy top!\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>Mostly, though, we\u2019re with these two, living through every vulture attack and sudden drop that involves something like hanging from a rope and trying to grab a stranded backpack. Is there a pedestrian below who could save them? The movie deals with that possibility in a way that recalls the Robert Redford-stranded-at-sea movie \u201cAll Is Lost.\u201d \u201cFall\u201d is a technical feat of a thriller, yet it\u2019s not without a human center. It earns your clenched gut and your white knuckles.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
