packerboy 3 #1 November 10, 2004 What is the best place I can order this DVD from in order to most directly support the skydivers that were involved in the making of this film? I know I can order it from Blockbuster Video, but I thought maybe there was a more direct supplier that I can get it from that would give a better financial payback to those involved rather than giving all the change to the middle man. -------------------------------------------------- In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock. ~ Thomas Jefferson Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cvfd1399 0 #4 November 11, 2004 I was not impressed with it at all. It showed the same group cliff base in norway about 100 times and the thing only lasted 20-30 minutes. The only cool part in there was the Leonardo triangle parachute that they jumped from a balloon. It is ok to watch and I am gonna keep it for the collection, but I would have rather bought something else. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marz 0 #5 November 11, 2004 THe thing is that the movie was shot in IMAX and is meant to be seen on an IMAX screen. I can tell you that it's a completely different experience when you see it that way!!! On the last BASE of the cliff (the first person POV one where you see the guys feet) just rocks on a big screen. When the guy jumped, I started to arch in my seat. I went with a couple of skydiving friends and they all had the same reaction!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Remster 26 #6 November 11, 2004 QuoteWhen the guy jumped, I started to arch in my seat hear hear! Its an awsome movie. I know on DVD it wont be as good, but I'm still buying 2 (1 for me, 1 for a denver budy ), yes to see it, but also support the people and businesses behind it!Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelpdiver 2 #7 November 11, 2004 QuoteTHe thing is that the movie was shot in IMAX and is meant to be seen on an IMAX screen. Yeah, switching from wide to 4:3 made little sense. It should have been at least 1.85:1, if not 2.40:1. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you know if Bert and the gang at Atmosphair have copies for sale? Then you'd know the $$ would go straight to the source... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelpdiver 2 #11 November 11, 2004 QuoteIts in 4:3??????? Damm... yuk.... I don't have it, but every website describes it that way. If it's a dual format release, someone with it should pipe up. I won't buy 4:3 releases of material that clearly is not 4:3. Just this last weekend, HDnet ran a mini marathon of older IMAX releases. 5 hours of good stuff filling the wide screen.

packerboy 3 #12 November 11, 2004 Mart!!!!! Comment ca va? Wassup? I should be out your way soon to be getting some not so big air on my Burton... see if you can score me a copy, maybe I'll stop by. You guys do winter jumps at Nouvelle? That's a sweet road trip for sure! You should come out to Sutton with us dude, Steeve Mavre, our francemophony pilot is the chief snowboard instructor out there and he has a cabin just off the hill. I think we've already made it quite obvious that skydivers don't have to be skydiving to do stupid crap on video. We're going to try to get out early so if I break something it'll heal before March. Give me a shout dude.. say hi to the little guy for me.

Marz 0 #13 November 11, 2004 DUDE!!! I'd totally be in for Sutton! As long as it's after the X-mas holidays, as I'm heading down to Venezuela for X-mas. We gotta get a helmet cam or something... PM me your tel #. I lost it. As far as winter jumps, I'm a pussy. Need I say more? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelpdiver 2 #15 November 12, 2004 QuoteBarnes and Noble is claiming their copy is in widescreen format. Someone here must own it by now, right? Which is it? The distributor describes it somewhat cryptically with Screen Format: Full Frame 16x9: Yes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, and the BASE stuff....even though there were lots of shots of the same jump, it was SICK in the theatre.
