Another great movie. Its a family tradition. It kick starts our ski season. We look forward to it every year & Warren never disapoints.
As always, terrific filming with incredible athleticism!! However, as someone who started on wooden skis (Tenth Mountain Division) with cable bindings in the late 1940s, I had to hold my fingers in my ears for most of the film and auctions for fear of becoming permanently deaf. PLEASE TURN DOWN THE VOLUME to protect our ears.
Great to see the new Warren Miller film at a beautiful, warm weather theatre in south Florida (first time for that!). These films are not what they used to be in the Warren days, but still really fun to see. Was a really cool plus that Jonny Mosley was there in person during intermission to distribute raffle prizes and have fun with the crowd. Overall, highly recommended!
Tons of big mountain lines carved in beautiful snow. All the scenery and great photography that we've come to expect from a WME film. A nice amount of tribute material to Warren without going overboard. Bringing back Glen Plake and Bob Rankin was a nice bonus and they both really contributed to the effort. In my opinion . . . the best WME production in at least 5 years.
We enjoyed the show!!!! I saw Warren’s 1st shows !!! Nothing could compare w 8mm film!!
Our seats were a slight challenge because they were in the front row, but on the positive side it was like being at an IMax. The Warren Miller movie had more interest to it than it has in past years because it wasn't just pillow sequence after pillow sequence (which is great to watch for 5 minutes). I loved the Glen Plake part and the Eldora part, and how they mixed in then and now. Pretty cool.
What a great event. A chance to see a fabulous film with an awesome group of like minded people. Experiencing a Warren Miller production on a theatre screen is a must for any Warren Miller fan. Having the athletes at the Denver premier was sweet as well. Thanks to all the sponsors for the give always and chances to win some once in a life time experiences.
Came to see a movie for $42 a ticket. Was expecting more than a marketing pitch emcee to showcase the event.
This movie was more of the same from Warren Miller -- some of the best footage of extreme skiing and snowboarding around. But the movie also isn't taking any risks or doing anything new. The movie was presented with an MC on stage who was essentially yelling at the audience through a microphone trying to get us hyped up. This was intensely annoying. I just wanted to get on with the movie. I would have rather just watched the movie in a theater without an MC.
Very good movie this year, #70 had some bloopers from days gone by and of course, big mountain skiing. A few crashes from the current ski/board times and few than years ago. Crowd participation this year was much more with oohhh and ahhs flowing over the course of the show. Very enjoyable evening and I'm already planning for next year.
The sound volume before the intermission was WAY TOO LOUD. This was a movie, not a rock concert. Thankfully, the volume seemed to have been turned down a few notches after intermission. HOWEVER, the experience makes me say I would never go to one of the Warren Miller films again --even though I have been attending the films going way back to the 1960s as a kid with my dad.
Lively ski fanatics converging on the State Theater in Minneapolis to immerse themselves in the Warren Miller branded film experience of the season. Great way to get stoked and see your ski friends! The State Theater lobby gets really packed as vendors try to get their market share of the ski industry.
Enjoyed the J. T. Holmes vignette most. Miller films, as usual, on the cutting edge. I miss Warren, that voice, and attitude.
I don't even ski, and you could tell the audience was full of skiers, but it made me want to start. The film audience is like a community, and it's really cool that this has been a yearly event for so many years. I enjoyed watching the film and the unique places they were skiing. I would love to do this again next year.
I enjoyed every second of the event. The sounds was great and the picture quality was perfect. The event staff were very nice and helpful, and the Warren Miller staff was very entertaining. Im not sure why they didn't give away the 1st and 2nd place raffle prize at the event.. but whatever.
Warren Miller continues to excel - great video, extreme sports, great music - but this is last time i will see something like this at McCaw hall. I forgot last year how bad the sound system was and this year as soon as the movie started i was disgusted that such a good venue has such a crappy sound.
Movie was fine, but the audio at McCaw was awful. Way too loud and speech was unintelligible. I've been to other performances here with no issues, but this was really unacceptable, especially since this wasn't an inexpensive event. Won't be going next time - we'll just watch at home.
WMTTR was a great diversion from movies past. It did not focus on cliff jumping, snowboarding. Breakdown in our view was 70% skiing and 30% boarding which is more audience friendly in my opinion. Great filmed scenes in great far away places was perfect. Bringing into play athletes like Ted Ligety and Julia Mancuso provides credibility still. We as former racers would love to see some racing given you're including racing athletes in the movie. A fun departure would be to see them as you portrayed them in the free ride setting, but, then juxtapose that with their world setting of competition. Especially since this is an Olympic year. I guess that's a missed one though. There were some boner scenes like the ninja fight scene with the chevy stolen corvette...what was that about? It's a great way to kick off the year.
The venue was great and so was the reception. The movie started off really awesome with Tommy Moe and the Tordrillo Mt. Lodge. I also liked the segment in MT. with a homage to Scott Schmidt. Then everything went bad, very bad with Ted Ligety visiting Greenland to make a political statement about Global Warming, now called climate change. Warren Miller Entertainment completely blew it by not sticking to making a ski movie. I left at intermission, I don't appreciate paying for 4 tickets only to have a political agenda intertwined with my entertainment choice. I came to see a ski movie and that is all.
Don't get me wrong, the Warren Miller film did not disappoint. However, it felt like the 20 minutes leading up to the start of the film and an intermission (what? yes an intermission) that was full of time-share marketing were too much. Seriously I paid $120 for 4 tickets and get commercials... Not going to this event again.
