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!
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.
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.
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!
