Can we get a huge round of applause for The Bunch?

I think that all of us can, and should, agree that what The Bunch have done with ITTFMS in tracking, minimising and even offsetting their carbon emissions is incredible.

I sincerely hope that this newfound focus on carbon dioxide emissions sets a precedent for other high-production value ski films for years to come, so that we can continue to ski for years to come as well.

Not to mention that the film is really fucking good!

Remarkably thorough analysis, great work @TheBunch!

Still haven't had a chance to watch the entire flick yet, but this certainly adds another wholesome angle to what will certainly be one of the more creative, inspirational, feel-good movies of the year...keep swervin boys!!!

Bout to get a fuck ton of hate might even get negative karma points but, I didn’t like the movie as a whole, the cinematography was amazing but moving just felt really dragged out for the amount of actual skiing in it. Don’t get me wrong the skiing was very good some of the tricks were insane and spots. Just felt very dragged out and slow. Plus music was kinda experimental and different during parts which aren’t my favorite. Also mad respect for Neutralizing/ cancelling out their carbon footprint

I can see what you mean by some parts being dragged out, but I think that kinda added to it in my opinion. I would not recommend this to someone just looking for back to back to back bangers, but as a whole I think it's one of the best ski flicks ever, i feel like it told a story without being corny.

Yea I agree. I'm all for back-to-back-to-back heaters but it's nice to see something that was thoughtfully constructed that told a story. And was also stacked with heaters.

Best movie I have seen in a long time.

Felt like they brought us along with them for season. Unbelievable editing, soundtrack & framing.

I haven't downloaded songs from a movie in a while but I did for this.

Bruh the whole ski industry tracking and minimizing carbon emissions is probs equivilent of taking a single plane out of the sky. Might as well buy an RPG.

I mean that's the point and it was refreshing as hell, if you didn't crack a smile when watching that segment you have no soul. I'm more referring to the cliche crap that is in every ski movie when they talk about traveling or how skiing an expression of themselves.

I was thinking like 1994 but I enjoyed it lol. I'm sick of skiing being so serious it's refreshing to see people having fun.

don't get me wrong, the cinematography was amazing and refreshing, I just think about 60% of the skiing was horrid to watch and could've done without the weird pointless shit. I mean not saying it needed to be shot after shot skiing, just less pointless time fillers. I personally found it so bland I had to watch something else after so I wouldn't keep thinking about how much of a let down it was.

Yeah man, nothing like watching kids skiing exactly the same, hitting small features and using fake concerns over their carbon footprint to excuse for their lack of a travel budget. WOW like what a legendary film you'll forget about next week! OMG LEGEND1!!

Naw you are right this movie was hard to finish/ not skip. The skiing isn’t worth the dancing scenes either. Magma 2 and strictly movies were better in every way imaginable and were made with far smaller crews and practically no budgets. The Bunch have really regressed a lot since finess in 2014. Less dancing scenes more urban bangers, this formula works really really well.
