Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
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.
mcqsokerplayr Does anyone know the title of the song when the skiers and snowboarders are doing tricks "slow-mo" off the jump as well as going in a spiral around the camera. This scene was close to the end and the song includes the lyrics "I wanna fly higher" and many more like this one. I don't care about anything else in the movie, I just want the name of the song. I love this song and want to listen to it for myself as I am going down the slopes. I have been looking all over the internet but without a title to go by, this means that I have had little success in my search. Hopefully some suggestions could help.thanks!
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.
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.
