Customer Reviews

Warren Millers Last Movie
This was the "last" movie that Warren Miller was officially a part of. And if you seriously count him as a part of this movie it just barely counts. He sold his company to his son Kurt a few years ago and then his son turned around and sold the company to Time-Warner. Warren Miller hated the direction the new commercialized films were going and his contract with the company ended with this film- and him doing as little as possible to be a part of it.

If you see endless product placements, self-serving arrogant skiiers talking about themselves (instead of actually skiing), and a lack of the charm and humor of the old Warren Miller movies you'll know why-- they are being churned out annually by a large corporation only interested in the bottom line.

I went and saw "Higher Ground" in the theatres and it was even more of a disappointment than "Impact". It was the last Warren Miller movie I will see in the theatres. As a lifetime fan it was a sad day.

This movie is average at best. If you want to see some quality ski films that embody what skiiers really believe and not some corporation trying to sell sponsorships (granola bars, Jeeps and cell phones) check out Terminal Gravity Research (TGR) or Matchstick Productions.

Not his best...
I was very excited to receive IMPACT in the mail from Netflix, but was disappointed in Miller's latest effort. After such gems as COLD FUSION and STORM, this film didn't quite live up to the sequences of his previous films.
The Chamonix sequence was excellent, as was the sequence of snowboard jumping at Mammoth, but the film didn't have as much of Miller's dry humor or 1950s ski nostalgia, and I missed the obligatory base jump sequence, such as the spectacular winged suit jump from the top of the Eiger (in STORM, I believe). The soundtrack was not as stellar and varied as before. I simply was not as wowed as I was by his previous films. I hope this year's HIGHER GROUND returns to his more exciting, better shot films.

Sick!
I an a huge Warren Miller fan and I must say that Impact is one of his best films. I recieved a pre-release copy of the dvd and I have watched it over 30 times. Impact is not someting you should go without!
