DVD Reviews of Warren Miller's Storm
DVD Review: Warren Miller's "Storm" -Awe-Inspiring and Humbling Montage of Skiing, Snowboarding, Extreme Sports and Interviews
Summary: 5 Stars
You can't help but feel humbled by the tricks these riders seem to nail with ease in Warren Miller's Storm. You will be really blown away if you have ever tried to ski or snowboard, and will still be amazed if you haven't. In some scenes just staying up is a feat considering the steep runs and vertical drops. And if you've ever worked a film crew or a camera, you have to be humbled by how difficult it is to capture shots like these. Even one of these tricks can require hours to set up, and here you have hundreds or thousands of runs and tricks strung between interviews, story-lines and amazing backdrops. The result is simply breath-taking.
Warren Miller's narration gives the transitions from place to place continuity and credibility. There can't be too many serious skiers and snowboarders who aren't already familiar with his signature voice and lasting legacy.
From Steamboat in Colorado, Whistler in BC, the Marines training facility in California, to the Alps of Europe, this footage takes you everywhere. We even get to retrace Shackelton's journey from the Faulklands to South Georgia just before Antarctica.
One thing applies to all these locations: don't try any of this. That includes at home or away from home. Even accomplished riders have to bow down before these 100 foot drops and vertical runs of hard-packed snow.
There's a mix of stuff here. From watching the Marine's train in ice water, to seeing snowboarders and skateboarders try to nail their tricks, this is not a pure skiing video. There's even cross country, hiking, and bike tricks thrown in. But no matter what you are watching, this is amazing to watch. The slow motion shots of snow shooting up on a landing, the shots with the sun fading into the background, this is just beautiful filming.
Not to beat a dead horse, but there is no instruction here. There's only one way to learn to ski, snowboard, or almost anything else. That's by doing it. Even if there was a way to learn by watching a DVD, you can be sure that DVD would be much longer than a few hours. :) And to repeat what I said before, chances are unless you are one of the people who was profiled here you won't be doing any of this in your lifetime. That' makes watching this all the more enjoyable.
The soundtrack is good, and definitely well mixed for the shots and transitions. But the beauty here is the eye-candy. Here we get to watch some of the world's best riders do things in open terrain that most of us can only dream of.
As for me, watching this has me wondering how long the season goes on in other parts of the world. Get this DVD or download the video if you love the beauty of excellent skiing and snowboarding.
Enjoy!
Description of Warren Miller's Storm
STORM transports viewers from Steamboat?s world-famous champagne powder to the striking, colossal peaks of Alaska and from the legendary ski town of Aspen to the glorious Austrian Alps. Join the Antarctic expedition across turbulent seas to the Isle of South Georgia, a wind-whipped crag of ice and snow in the South Atlantic. Skill and passion abound as skiing legends and up-and-coming stars chase the storm, risking their lives in a powerful once-in-a-lifetime journey. The amazing soundtrack includes Dave Matthews Band, Ani DiFranco, Nickel Creek and other hugely and other hugely popular artists.Warren Miller's Storm is another dazzling travelogue of extreme snow-sports fanatics doing their thing in the most amazing places on Earth. Join Storm's crew on a helicopter skiing trip to beautiful Blue River, British Columbia, and later get inside the psychology of Aspen, Colorado, residents who live for snow and spend every day in the mountains. Take a retrospective detour to Sun Valley, where property was once cheap, Hemingway and Gary Cooper vacationed together, and Miller--now almost 80--began shooting his first 8mm ski movies in 1947. Cross the desert in Lake Tahoe to ascend white-topped hills ripe for snowboarding, and hang out with extreme bikers for whom cities, parks, campuses, and mountains are all part of the same stunt-worthy surface. The film's grandest segment finds skier-climbers replicating Ernest Shackleton's ill-fated trip to Antarctica's South Georgia Island, one of the most haunting and astonishing spots on the planet. --Tom Keogh
