Vic_max If you like skiing or snowboarding, chances are you'll really love this movie. I happen to like snow sports, so I really enjoyed the visually rich treat and excellent audio track.Basically, this movie is a collection of visually stunning skiing and snowboarding scenes. The scenes (or segments) are unrelated to each other and are separated by shots from a busy metropolis. If there is one weak aspect to the film, it is this strange arbitrariness. It is very awkward. However, it is somewhat overshadowed by the great visuals and audio.All of these segments are beautifully done and with highly vibrant colors. See it in high-definition or IMAX to get the most out of it. There are skiing / snowboarding scenes that I have never seen done anywhere - like where they all do a 360 degree lateral loop - or are skiing at night with only hand-held sparklers. Absolutely stunning.The audio is outstanding as well. The music is a wonderful selection of styles and will likely appeal to a broad range of tastes. Furthermore, I have never heard the 'sounds' of people going over rails; these are great effects.My recommendation is to see this movie if you enjoy snow sports. It's only 40 minutes and you'll likely be entertained.
ElDiablo222 I watched this movie because I really like all kinds of ski movies... well normally... this one is just awful. The music REALLY is ridiculous. The outfits of the skiers are as well. And the skiing is quite the opposite of ground-breaking, considering other American movies like "yearbook". There are a few scenes that are actually worth watching but all the good stuff is immediately destroyed by the bad sound. At some point Willy Bogner tries to develop a story, like when the skiers "compete" against the snowboarders. While they do so you hear them scream "yeah", "go faster" "good idea". Hopefully now you can understand why I used the phrase "ridicolous" earlier. On top of all that the surreptitious advertising is just annoying. And I will never understand why Pink agreed to participate. Summary: Don't watch it. It's just a waste of time.
mr_bernie I really adore this movie, it is one of the best imax movies I ever saw. Maybe thats the reason why I watched it five times. Unbelievable scenes from snowboarding, skiing, motocross, paragliding, together with a real great soundtrack. I'm sure I'm gonna watch and enjoy it a again!
great_guidance In Leonard Maltin's movie guide, he used to call pictures like this "a non-movie." That's really what this is - moving pictures on a movie screen, but without plot, characters, or even dialog! It kind of reminds me of tapes that play in an audio video stores to demonstrate tv's and such - just nice scenery. Except those films don't show the Bogner sports logo quite so repeatedly.If there is a plot - it's seems to be about several people stuck in a traffic jam (obviously not actors) who sit in their vehicles and fantasize that they were out doing the trendy extreme sport of their choice. (Strange traffic jam... about 8 cars in a huge deserted intersection... what are they waiting for?) We are then treated to numerous 5 minute segments of skiing, snowboarding, S-U-Ving, etc. The photography is nice, Imax picture is good, locations beautiful, but it seems to get pretty tiring after about 20 minutes.I heard a couple of people complaining about the movie at the box office when I left the theatre - and one person said that it was like "a bad porno movie with skiing instead of sex". I thought that really summed it up! 30 seconds of really bad acting, followed by 10 minutes or more of action, but I guess you don't rent a porno for complex sub-plots...If all you want to see is great skiing scenes on a giant screen, and you don't mind non-acting, awful continuity, cheesy music ("live your life to the limit--do it today!") and cars which can fall from the sky, break off their wheels, and then drive away... this movie is for you!
