Movie Reviews of Steep
Movie Review: steep dvd
Summary: 4 Stars
it was a gift for someone. The recipient is an avid skiier and he loved it.Movie Review: documentry
Summary: 3 Stars
more of a documentry than anything. Good ideas, however much of the footage was purchased from other ski movies, hence there was a disjointed feeling often seen between segments. The doug coombs segment however was a 5 of 5. That segment made it worth owning.Movie Review: Too abrupt - clips and pretty boring
Summary: 2 Stars
How long can you watch folks make some jumps and then others drone through excessive dialogue? After, it is'nt the skiiers minds on display, its their physical prowess and courage no doubt but some of the conversations are really terribly sophomoric and perfect for passing out on the couch, funny that should happen watching a ski movie. The worst part is you see some heavy powder skis, you see the mountain tearing up and coming down right behind the skiier and the film cuts away to some other guy doing overdone backflips somewhere. The elegance and art of skiing is lost and one has this feeling of never really seeing a full run. Youtube posts are much better. A bit of a waste of money and time. Well, the producers made some revenue since I bought a few of these. Verdict: dont bother, go to youtube, search for extreme skiing, ski jumps etc. much better content and fully loaded clipsMovie Review: Bored out of my mind
Summary: 1 Stars
I was so excited when I got this video for my son and I to watch. I was soon bored out of my mind and I could tell he had the same reaction. I wanted some great footage and music to match. I found that in the editing phase, they cut all of the footage short, not providing the fullness of the run. And while I like the idea of mixing in commentary, those sections seemed to dominate the essence of the film, and those conversations most often fell way short. I also bought Step Into Liquid, a surfing video. Now there was an example of a great, entertaining watch. The angles of the photography, timing, dialogue, everything. I have always heard great things of Warren Miller and think I saw some of his stuff years ago. But I am dismayed to see the ratings for this film so high. I'm not sure if it is just a hail to the chief kind of thing or what. I am so desirous of a good ski watch however, I may try another one. I'd love one filled with great footage of great skiing, on a regular mountains accessible to everyday people, but shot with the best skiers in the world.
