Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Just what I expected

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

The film series "The Art of Flight " was considered to be a groundbreaking step in the skiing and snowboarding film industry. Never before seen camera technology and camera angles were used in the film series. The film received plenty of both positive and negative reviews on movie reviews websites like IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes. There didn't seem to be any "in between-ers" who liked some parts and disliked others. The people that said they didn't like it had one argument to back it up and that was that it was only because of the big time sponsors that Curt Morgan, the director was able to make such a good film. The people that have no knowledge of the world of skiing and snowboarding appeared to be the ones who bashed Curt Morgan for the Flight documentary series. What most people don't know is that Curt Morgan has been making skiing and snowboarding and even Bmx and skateboarding films for over a decade. And that only a couple of years ago Red Bull picked him up and began to provide him with a bigger budget to make films. To say that he is unskilled and relies on the "hollywood style budget" is false and inaccurate. Besides "The Art of Flight", Director and producer Curt Morgan has made over a dozen other low-budget films ranging from skateboarding movies to free-form slope skiing and extreme skiing films. What I like most about the movie and Curt Morgan's style of filming is that he strays away from the typical format for a documentary. Cutscenes of riders throwing up tricks litter the entire film added in as eye candy in between interviews with the skiers. Personally I think that it was a great documentary film. It didn't focus on just the skiing part it went into detail and showed the dangers that the riders faced in riding and descending mountains that had never been rode on ever before. The danger of avalanches and ice caves were real, and at one point an avalanche almost killed 2 riders as they were coming down the mountain. His "raw" style of filming and the way he doesn't edit out mistakes and keeps the camera rolling shows his innovative and abnormal filming techniques. I've always been a fan of Curt Morgan films and personally have all of his movies at home that I watch frequently. Just goes to show how skilled he is that even after seeing it several times before I still sit on the edge of my seat every time I watch it.

Without a doubt, everything said about the cinematography is true- beautiful, incredible pictures abound. The snowboarding has you gasping and maybe even feeling sick in your stomach in the good way! But unfortunately for us, the characters speak and spill out every cliché on the planet "it's not the destination, it's the journey", "respect the mountain. When you don't respect the mountain that's when bad things happen" (paraphrase).That would be all fine except that the 'storyline' sees us following these guys to remote places and generally finding too little snow. (Maybe because they're flying everywhere in helicopters, blowing up propane tanks, shooting and destroying trees and setting fires. Ever heard of climate change?) I thought snowboarders would be a little more 'down to earth' and want to protect what they spend their life on.Twice in the film the guys look at discouraging weather/conditions reports but say "but you can't just trust the data. You've gotta get out there and see for yourself." But then they're shocked when they find exactly what the data predicted and have to call their trips short.The snowboarding action is beautiful...but little else to recommend it. Luckily there's a lot of action.

Words can not describe the beauty, brilliance and passion behind this movie.The cinematography in this movie is world class and the quality of the picture in this movie clearly proves this. Combine this with a great director along with the vision of world class snowboarders and you have a snowboarding movie second to none. At a number of moments in the movie, I thought I could touch the snow it was that high def.There's just nothing more I can say except go and watch it. Great movie for an outdoor enthusiast or a snow lover but if your as fanatically as snowboarding as I am than it's a must own movie that you will be sure to leave on repeat. (That's if you don't get too jealous watching these guys shred some of the most amazing runs you've ever seen.) Seriously thank you to Red Bull for investing so much money so this brilliant movie could be made.

"The Art of Flight" is "The Odyssey" of snowboard movies. It's epic camera work makes even Warren Miller look like an amateur. Red Bull helps pull out all the stops, to produce the most wild documentation of the world of snowboarding out there.Travis Rice, John Jackson, and Mark "Lando" Landvik take the world of snowboarding to a new level in the opening scene alone, which sets the tone, and gives you a small taste of what's in store for the rest of the film.The crew even gives you a small inside look into their lives during the planning phases and cloudy down days that prevent filming.There's not not too much more that can be said about the film beyond "Epic" aside from watch the film. It's the only way to fully understand.Great sound track. Ground breaking film.The Art of Flight.
