ive been really stoked to see this video since it came out. we bought it yesterday down at our local shop <BR> <BR>we just watched it. i was pretty disappointed in global warning, the riding was great. the filming was great, and it was an all around cool movie. but it was only 30 minutes. i thought it was really really short for the big hype thats going on about it. . i was pretty bummed. <BR> <BR>all the people that are saying how great it is. what about it makes you think this?

true joe. but IT WAS So SHORT! haha it took forever for it to come out. and it was only half on hour? come on...

Is there any bonus footage or anything else added onto the DVD?

dakid 07-16-2009 5:38 PM

see how long other wake, skate, snow flicks are...roughly 30mins or so. <BR> <BR>and yes, global warning has a ton of bonus footage.

lfrider92 07-16-2009 5:39 PM

i think so sinko. but im not 100% sure. i think i remeber seeing the word bonus. but im not sure. <BR> <BR> <BR>and before people start yelling at me for this post. haha. im not trying to starrt anything. im just voicing my opinion on this video. and that seems to get me in trouble quite a bit on this site. lmao

lfrider92 07-16-2009 5:41 PM

all the other wake films ive seen have been longer. global warning is the shortest one ive seen. and there is your answer sinko. <BR> <BR>The shop i bought global warning from (liquid playground) is giving away chick flick with a purchase of global warning. and chick flick was like 50 minutes long

anthemwake 07-16-2009 5:42 PM

30 minutes seems like the perfect length. If a video is much longer than that, it just gets old and I kind of tune out, even if it's well made. Maybe I just have a short attention span, but I kind of stand by the whole "Leave 'em wanting more" philosophy.

lfrider92 07-16-2009 5:45 PM

i think 45 to 50 min is a good length. any more and i start to tune out like you said. but when it ended at thirty. i sat there and was like..... ummmm really? im logging onto to WW .. <BR> <BR> <BR>haha

dakid 07-16-2009 5:50 PM

so what you saw was sick, but yet you felt the need to rip on it? nice move slick.

lfrider92 07-16-2009 5:52 PM

thats not what i said. your taking what im saying the wrong way. <BR> <BR>i would like to have seen the same riding but for longer. if the video had been another 15 minutes longer. it would have been put at my favorite wake film. <BR> <BR>its been like 2 or 3 years in the making right? <BR> <BR>and you get a half hour of video out of that long of filming? <BR> <BR>and like 5 minutes of that was the singing at the beginning

dakid 07-16-2009 5:55 PM

it's been 1yr in the making....standard for all action sports vids.

lfrider92 07-16-2009 5:56 PM

i thought it was in the making longer then that. <BR> <BR>but like you just said. <BR> <BR>"standard for all action sports vids." <BR> <BR>if thats standard. why was it so much shorter?

dakid 07-16-2009 5:59 PM

much shorter? standard for action sports movies is around 30 minutes. <BR> <BR>not every dvd can be 1hr like the chick flick. that was a way different circumstance.

lfrider92 07-16-2009 6:03 PM

well if most action sports movies are 30 minutes. thats the first ive seen thats that short. all the others ive seen have been longer

jsweat 07-16-2009 6:48 PM

why dont you go out and watch pre pop that movie is all of maybe 25 minutes but the riding is sick.

shooter_08 07-16-2009 7:12 PM

I haven’t seen Global Warning yet, but generally wake movies have been behind the curve compared to other action sport vids. I think it’s because wake pros rely heavily on comps. There are many amazing skaters and snowboarding that never compete. They ride their a$$ off all year for one 5 minute video part. Sounds like they cut the filler, you would be surprised how much work it takes for a few good shots. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by SHOOTER_08 on July 16, 2009)

Just saw it @ Spanky last weekend on a big screen. I didn't think it was too short. It was sick! Can't wait for my blu-ray to arrive.

jtnz 07-16-2009 9:06 PM

I saw it Wednesday night when it premiered in Auckland, it did seem short to me but most wake flicks do, they just sort of end out of nowhere. <BR> <BR>Waiting for it to turn up in the mail so I can hear it properly, watching it in a bar with a busy dinner service downstairs made it difficult to hear everything, still enjoyed it though. <BR> <BR>The intro is classic, riding is awesome and the sound track is cool. Scenery is amazing too.

nsolis220 07-16-2009 9:22 PM

i havent seen it yet but want to. I agree sometimes wake movies your just kinda waiting for the end. Transgression for me was the first one i didnt really feel that way about........ Until i saw rewritten..... i didnt want it to end it was about 50-60 mins. dopest and most innovative that i have seen. <BR> <BR>6 guys all hitting dubs at he same time come on.

adambarry 07-16-2009 9:37 PM

yeah I ordered blu-ray anyone know the time on shipping?

akdivision 07-16-2009 10:50 PM

Out of the Pond was short too. It ended and i was like wtf!!! that it? I wanted more. All the hype on that movie and it was that short? To me it seemed to be missing parts almost.

eubanks01 07-17-2009 6:37 AM

Adam - I don't think it will ship until early August. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/sad.gif" border=0>
