Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
redpony4 What a car wreck of a film this is - it's one long ad for Bogner Skiwear, along with Audi. Jumps back and forth between downtown Denver and somewhere in the Swiss Alps, with the cast wearing Bogner clothing, which no self respecting boarder or skier would be caught dead in.HORRIBLE soundtrack, I think they lifted it from some cut rate Bond wannabe or Europorn leftovers. Maybe Willie Bogner thought this was hip and cool music, but it's nowhere near hip and cool. And Pink? Puhleeze. This is truly a totally unwatchable mess of a film. Avoid at all costs. If you're interested in true ski/board films, check out anything by Matchstick Productions and Teton Gravity Research.
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.
rocketsmith I am going to go buy an Audi. These cars are fantastic! Did you know that the famous singer Pink drives an Audi? Audi's four-wheel drive cars can drive up the sides of mountains, fly through the air, and even drive across the surface of a lake! Not only that, but the on-dash display can show the car's wry comments! (This car is funnier than Knight Rider's KITT!) Okay, so some guys are riding their motorcycles, trying to get to the top of the peaks at Aspen, but the bikes malfunction, and explode, and it's up to mega-rock-star-diva Pink to give them a ride to the top of the peak, where women ski with poodles off the sides of the mountain, only to para-glide to safety. In addition to music by Pink, the soundtrack features a bunch of Euro-pop sounding anthems that make me yearn for the good old days of ABBA. The mountain locations are really pretty, and are inter-cut with a cityscape (Denver?) in a hallucinogenic fashion suggesting that this whole movie may just be the fantasy of a guy stuck in traffic, who just WISHES that his motorbike would explode so Pink would rescue him with her flying car. As such, this film becomes a cautionary tale on the dehumanization of our society by urban environments and its potential redemption by the power of winter sports.
Requin-2 It seems that the makers could not decide on making a movie with a plot or just record the action as is. The result is neither a proper movie, or a documentary. Although some of the footage shot in the mountains is impressive on Imax-scale, the ski-action itself is disappointing, and makes up only half of the movie ( at best ). Furthermore the movie misses the esthetics of "Vertical Zoo" Y2Ski, or the sheer action in movies from MSP like "Ski Movie".Lack of plot or story-line is own to the genre, but it can and should be compensated by the action. People that have access to the Extreme-sports channel or have seen the latest ski and snow-board movies will be disappointed, for others it the movie is worth while seeing in Imax format and is reasonable entertaining. But it doesn't live up to its title.
