Bonio 0 Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Hi, dunno if anyone's brought this up yet, but I've just seen the trailer for the movie 'First Descent' on Apple trailers and was wondering what peoples thoughts on this movie are. I, despite being a snowboarder, havent much clue on the history of boarding, and as of yet I've not looked into it. Do people think that the film may be omitting anything significant about the imergence of the sport? Also, how worth while do you it is making a film like this is? What I will say though, is that some of the footage in the trailer was impressive and it seems to go into Alaskan heli-boarding, so it is not looking only back on the sport.

Bonio 0 Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 It's on Apple Trailers, so I assume (as sake says) it will probably be viewed and treated in the same way Dogtown was. In as far as distribution goes anyway. So I expect it will get a limited international release. I don't see why not anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
ncorrenti 0 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I saw it at the cinema yesterday. It was pretty good although a bit long and drawn out in some places. I personally think they focused a bit too heavily on the history of the sport and spent too little time on the present day/future of the sport. Other than that, it was shot really well and the action was great. There were only five people in the cinema (including me and my boyfriend) so I'm guessing it's been a bit of a flop financially.

TJ OZ 0 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 It has the best footage of an avie that I have seen. I liked the movie. It also shows why Terge is the best rider ever. Definatly worth seeing especially on the big screen. Link to post Share on other sites
