By telling him there are better movies out there, you are essentially saying his opinion is wrong.

^That was kind of cool, and the five minutes or less of park skiing was crazy, but the movie was way too long for me.

Its not a park rat movie, therefore park rats will not like it. Its for a more broader audience and the cinematography (esp in HD) is amazing, some of the best ive ever seen. I thought the movie was awesome.

The India segment was cool, and the park stuff that they had was pretty good. Also the cinemetography was excellent. The biggest problem is that Warren doesn't narrate like he used to. He has the coolest voice.

I kinda wish that other ski movies would have a story line like Warren Miller films.

Apart from some of the HD shots, and a few of the park scenes, mostly ripped off from ski porn, the movie was terrible as far as WM films go. After WM stopped being involved after "Impact" the films went downhill. All they do is show the same skiers doing slow turns in powder, with no progression. They cut in a few WM quotes from old movies and it's just, well...sad.

Warren Miller is def more of a lifestyle movie, and emcopasses many different aspects of skiing. I think that the movies have gone down a bit since WM stopped doing them himself, but he is a really old fart now. I cant wait to see this one...
