DVD Reviews of The Runner: Extreme UltraRunner David Horton
DVD Review: The Runner: A documentary with sweat and tears...
Summary: 4 Stars
David Horton's run of the Pacific Crest Trail is an amazing feat - and filming it in it's entirety was as well. This documentary starts well and gives the viewer a taste of what it must have felt like to average 45+ miles/day for weeks on end. It has all the elements of a well-made documentary: ample footage of the run, interviews with friends and families, and of course, the agony of "da-feet." I felt compelled as I watched it and slightly unsatisfied at the end, as if I'd just had a sugar-free diet drink instead of the real thing. The end comes too easily. It seemed as if the film-maker... director... er whomever, lost intensity for the project and suddenly, we're at Manning Park. My own aspirations for the PCT may cloud my judgment here. Ultra-runners may love this film, but I'm guessing thru-hikers will feel less affection. We love the trail; David loves the physical challenge. DVD Review: An amazing DVD about an amazing runner
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not an ultramarathoner (yet), but really enjoyed watching this movie. Seeing what he goes through is quite amazing. Even my 70 year old mother-in-law was inspired and amazed. If you are looking for an inspiring movie on extreme running, this one is a much see.DVD Review: The Runner - INCREDIBLE
Summary: 5 Stars
What a powerfully motivating story, amazing coverage of a very impressive journey by David Horton. Actual footage of the journey is woven into a number of background threads which add depth to the context. Additionally, the DVD has an enhanced feature where at any point during the video, you can examine a detailed map of his journey at the actual point in the movie. For the outdoor enthusiast, a must have. For anyone considering tackling this journey or one like it, a hard look at the challenge.DVD Review: C'MON PCT! IS THAT ALL YOU GOT?!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie has inspired many quotes that my husband and I now use for motivation during our training runs. David Horton might possibly be crazy and I'm not talking about distance running. Hilarious, quirky man with a passion for running and God. It would be a great movie to see if you like distance running, trail running, or the Pacific Crest Trail in general.DVD Review: My 4-year old loves "The Runner'
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a long time distance runner, biker, nordic skier and fast-
packer and hiked the JMT in 2006 and have dreamed of thru-hiking
the PCT for many many years. For my birthday last year my wife got
me "The Runner" and I have enjoyed watching it many times. It is
a fantastic film documentary and the scenes, the music and dialog
(and monologue) with David Horton really make this a great film in
the genre. However, I must say that the most ardent fan in our family is my 4-year old daughter who likes watching this film even more
than me! She knows most of lines from memory (for example: "I am
not a backpacker - I am a runner", or regarding snow in the
Sierra's "Do I want that, Do I wish that? No!!") She was captivated by David Horton's character on screen and I think that is what has drawn us both to this film. It has also turned her into a little runner. Overall a great film.
