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 Description: 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. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Warren Miller's "Storm" -Awe-Inspiring and Humbling Montage of Skiing, Snowboarding, Extreme Sports and Interviews 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, ...

I noticed a sound track complaint - very personal - ALL of the audio, editing, frame angles, lighting, etc. is typical high grade work of WM, and a few tracks of audio are not for hospice folks. Bring this DVD or cloan it to drive during your next adventure trip. - Or, watch it before ... Read More Rating: - Visually StunningI'm a non-skier, and I found the photography beautiful. The skier in the family loved seeing the different mountains around the world and loved the element of danger. Rating:  - Okay JOURNEY IS BETTERI bought this movie off of the reviews given. In truth, this was not that great of a warren miller film. The soundtracks weren't that great, and the filming and angle was just average. Journey is a great movie, and really can't be beat. Journey is my favorite ski movie ever, and It would be a much better buy than Storm. Rating: - The Greatest Warren Miller Film Ever....I cant believe anybody would ever watch this for instructional value, because thats not what its for. It is purely for entertainment purposes (which is exactly what this movie is). This movie has a kick butt soundtrack and awesome footage of sweet skiiers ripping up the slopes. This is by far the best Warren Miller film yet and I recommend it to all skiers. |
