Movie Reviews of Steep
Movie Review: exciting documentary
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very interesting and exciting documentary on extreme skiing. Interesting interviews and story that shows how this sport started and how it has evolved. Shows the people behind the sport and really gets into the mindset that makes them tick. The best part for me was the footage of skiing, from the classic shots, to the modern helicopter shots, to the helmet-mounted cameras. Kept me on the edge of my seat.
I'm not a skier by the way. I think anybody interested in learning about interesting people will enjoy this.
Movie Review: Thrilling Ride For Anyone
Summary: 5 Stars
At first, it appeared that this would be a movie that only appeals to skiers. In fact, this is a fascinating and thrilling ride. You will see places on earth you did not know existed. You will see these guys riding helicopters to the top of mountains where there is barely enough room to stand, and then, skiing downhill at blazing speed. As you might expect, as the movie passes from continent to continent, we see some of the guys we had followed in the beginning actually die. This is a thrilling movie and is not to be missed.Movie Review: Great film about the history of extreme skiing
Summary: 5 Stars
This film combines great cinematography with some very personal stories about how the sport of extreme skiing has evolved. Bill Briggs and Doug Coombs lived in different eras, but they are both legends and non-living proof of how dangerous the extreme sports can be. I found it very thrilling to watch the very talented skiers push their limits on some very classic descents. And the interviews and bits of history combine to make it one of the best ski films ever. Dancing on the Edge of an Endangered PlanetMovie Review: Steep
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent movie! I was at the video store and looked at Steep. Rented it because I saw Andrew McLean's name and had to know if this was the same guy that coached TAS back in the 80's. It is...
What I liked most about Steep is that it's not an action/huck packed film. It's essentially a documentary on Doug Coombs and Bill Briggs and, not to steal Glen Plake's line, it's a bunch of good skiers out having a good time and doing what they love. I definitely recommend it.
Movie Review: Awesome Documentary
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is a really interesting account of the development of extreme skiing. It is not just action shot after action shot so if you expect only that you might be disappointed or a bit bored. This movie has the action shots and sweet cinematography but also history and interviews, it is actually a documentary. To really enjoy it you should want to know how big mountain skiing came to be, along with seeing ridiculous descents.
