And Ian Macintosh's response to Dane Tudor's question as to whether anyone had any suggestions for slough management on the descent of Mount Sampson: "Yeah! I mean... Uh... Go fast."
Rogue Elements does have its high points when it comes to the communication between the athletes. I laughed, or at least smiled, at several points, which speaks to the entertainment value of the movie.
Overall, however, it has to be said that Rogue Elements is not necessarily the best film in TGR's large catalog. Solid fare, beautiful shots and nice entertainment. Whether that's reason enough to buy the thing is something everyone has to decide for themselves.
After an intro with a female narrator's voice (which you will unfortunately never hear again afterwards), it actually starts with my personal highlight. Driving music, strong recordings, strong driving. Really good. After that, the tension slowly but steadily diminishes and the movie creeps along a little. This is followed by several geographically organized parts: Alaska, Jackson Hole, Chamonix, BC, Bolivia and 1000 other parts of BC.
