Movie Reviews of Running on the Sun
Movie Review: Magnificent...
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is not just about a grueling 135 mile foot race through Death Valley and up the side of Mt. Whitney - it is a glimpse at what the human spirit is capable of.
I'm a middle of the pack ultrarunner and it has become a tradition that before races and some long training runs I watch this documentary. The people profiled in it (ranging from a young British woman who has "always wanted to do a bit of running" to a man who lost his leg and arm clearing landmines for charity) are all the models of courage and determination.
I've watched this documentary so many times I feel like I know the people in it.
Movie Review: Un documental imprescindible para Ultrarunners
Summary: 5 Stars
El documental muestra la dureza de esta prueba y hasta donde es capaz de soportar el cuerpo humano y la mente. Es increible ver como aguantan dia y noche en carrera, soportando temperaturas extremas, viento y desniveles. Se muestra sin escrupulos la fatiga, las ampollas, el agotamiento. Para mí, que he participado en varios Ultras, es una pelicula que cualquiera que se adentre en este mundo debería ver. Es un ejemplo de tesón y de corage ver a dos corredores, con protesis ortopedicas de pierna y brazo, conseguir llegar a meta. Os la recomiendo.Movie Review: UltraMindGame with Self
Summary: 5 Stars
I keep watching this documentary over and over, shedding tears every time. I am now obsessed with Badwater. I have volunteered to be on a crew next year. Even though some of the rules have changed since this was made, the documentary successfully recorded the battle one has with self to get thru 135 miles of insane terrain! I was surprised to see what kind of people run this kind of thing - such a wide cross section of runner types. If you think you "can't" do something, watch this DVD and see the handicap runners finish 135 miles in extreme temps!Movie Review: Wonderful to watch...
Summary: 5 Stars
Extremely motivating... and a great metaphor in and of itself. (Weird how some microchasm of society can easily represent life itself.) At this point, you can do everything right-- and still something can go wrong.
I loved how it followed these ultrarunners and let you get true insight into what they were thinking and feeling... I teared up at parts, and even knowing the race was long gone and over, found myself cheering on the impressive finishers.
Movie Review: ultra- cool
Summary: 5 Stars
I never knew much about ulta races, the longest I ever raced was 10K but after seeing a north face ad in runner's world I thought how cool a person could run that long!...there was lots to read about ultra racing but nothing to watch, this was interesting, I'm motivated to try my hand at a marathon, it seems like small peanuts compared to ultra marathons.This film was interesting a real testament to what human's are capable of.
