I thought it was pretty sick, music and post-credits were best parts.

What did NS think?

Absolutely horrible soundtrack and little to no backcountry segments. Worst ski movie by a big name brand in the past few years.

God damn. Could not have said it better myself. In eye trip, i put most of the songs onto my ipod because most of them were great to ski to, this year i think i might have put 2 songs on there

I loved the sound track. I feel it gave the movie a more genuine feel as opposed to other  movies that where put out this year. I also found that the music matched the editing perfectly and was consistent throughout the whole movie as a posed to the grand bizarre, where it went from a supper style and more park oriented segment with Mr. Powis (sp?) to a big mountain hard charging segment with Mr. Lebeo (again sp?). THIS IS ALL IN MY OPINION (sorry fir bad spelling im on my iphone)

this. it wasnt dubstep or rap, lol it was almost mystical, i found it took some getting used to,the first time i watched it...not a fan, but then as i watched it more and more i began to like it more and more (again personal opinion)

No it was a pos by Level 1 standards. I mean I thought PBP soundtrack was bad, but man level 1 just fucking blew it so hard, I hated every single song in that entire movie, which consequentially made me dislike the entire movie.

Level1 makes some of the ski movies year after year, and this one def did not meet my expectations unlike all of their other films.

IMO,

1- Attack of la Nina
2- After Dark
3- The grand bizarre ---> this movie was a totale fail, nothing really happends, nobody talks, we can't feel the passion for skiing..

I really liked it, but some of the music was pretty shitty ( that Friends-shit was by far the worst).

To be honest I thinkt the worst skimovie this year was Atack of La Nina (impossible to spell). It was so boring I almost stoped watching it the first time. Havn´t seen it since.

I'm just gonna hijack this thread for a while, since my question isn't worth a new thread. Which movie should I buy? I have weight and TGB. I'm considering after dark or prime cut.. movies that isn't mentioned in this thread is welcome.

all of last years movies from the big companies were legit, after dark was my least favorite though, everyone still killed it.

The more I watch it the better it is. Amazing editing, skiing is crazy (p white arguably favourite segment ever) and the soundtrack grows on you in time.

What I like to do is compare segments from past years like T-Walls eye trip seg and after dark seg or ahmet eye trip seg and after dark seg. IMO both Ahmet's and Wallie's segments were sooooo much better the previous year.
