Into the mind

In my opinion, Into the Mind is one of the greatest ski films of all time. I've watched it several times now (calibrated high end Plasma TV with good audio). I can't believe all the negative reaction. The "15 minutes of skiing" thing is bogus, there's a lot of skiing, and it's all high quality, no filler shots. The rotating camera angles (cable cams? quadcopters?) during the Eagle Pass/Selkirk Tangiers heli segment is freaking amazing, as is the reverse POV powder angles that looks like like they were shot with a RED Epic or something.

You need to watch this either in a movie theatre or on a decent home theatre setup, not a 13 inch Macbook with earbuds.

Incidentally, I just watched Partly Cloudy (on my laptop on a plane) last night, other than the B.C. segments it was a solid meh. Tracing Skylines was 100 times better.
 
seems like a lot of people missed out on the fact that the entire thing is happening inside the old dudes head. Parallel universe shit. So when it shows like the smoke being blown across firewood and then the next shot is clouds moving through mountains, dope. When the old dude is going up the ladder and they are climbing a mountain, or when the breathing sounds are playing as the earth "breathes". I thought those parts were awesome.

And the calgary urban part was sick too.
 
been avoiding this movie for awhile. Saw it on Netflix and thought "why not"..could only make it through the first 20 minutes..wtf was up the birds of prey too?

Thought it was way too over edited and agree that the skiers came 2nd to the cinematography

They just tried too hard.
