Audience Member So I get what people are saying when it comes to advertising, but REI, Subaru and Expedia all actually help the Parks system through tourism and conservation. Rock Climbers are also integral to park preservation. They're very passionate about keeping the parks clean and well maintained as much as the rangers, officials and environmentalists surrounding the Nationaal Parks. Also if you expect a highly detailed documentary at only 43 minutes long than you're an absolute hypocrite. The music is meant to help evoke emotions and to open your ears. The scenery to open your eyes and show you the natural beauty of the world. Just enjoy the ride for what it is. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member How do you mess up a National Park documentary this badly? The focus on a road trip with very little actual scenery was an awful choice. They dedicate a full two minutes to the characters sitting in a car and singing. I feel that documentaries are made to teach, feel real and down-to-earth, and impress with visuals. The visuals are the saving grace. However, of the 40 minutes in the film (that feel like 4 hours), 10 minutes have unbelievable footage that truly wows me. 20 more minutes are decent, but the other 10 are terribly shot and sometimes still have dark patches in the corners or 360 camera on a normal screen. The scenes about the actual parks are too short and too sparse. To make this worse, the only good scenes (the ones about park history and nature) are put in the shadows in favor of melodrama and humor! The tone is all over the place and I can't even consider this a movie or even a story. It is just a collection of nice shots from somebody's road trip. The scenes at the end that show tourists in the park are the only ones that really make you feel like they are there. Overall, I guess I blame the editor because it feels like they placed the scenes in the wrong order. Please watch any other park documentary instead. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Highly commercialized (Subaru, Expedia, REI) with mucho product placement, lame story about 3 "extreme" sports nuts that detracts from the parks, over the top plagent music. Only made palatable by the park scenery in IMAX. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Very good cinematically , but at times bland. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/16/18 Full Review Audience Member A beautiful landscape with wonderful cinematography that's raped by egocentrism. More culture and less white people leisure would have been nice. And by the way, those "prayer ribbons" are warnings to keep people off of the monument. It's like random people climbing on your family member's tomb stone... As I sit here and watch them destroy the natural ice monument, I hurt inside. They don't even get it. All they do is capture a photo, but are really missing what they are looking at. They have no concern for nature, but to capitalize on it. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie is as much about the parks as it is about three people who enjoy doing extreme sports in beautiful areas. I don't blame but didn't want to see athletes, just extraordinary vistas. Disappointing. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
