Warren Miller's Impact (Collector's Deluxe Edition) (2004) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.
