Truly Dreadful Film

Dreadfully Boring

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

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.

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.

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!

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.
