Jeff Eason Having viewed Ken Burns' National Parks again recently this film was recommended to me. I was disappointed. Its clear the John Muir Trail has some nice scenery - but this poorly made movie and the people in it are ridiculous Supposedly these people are all AMAZING artists gathered to have an AMAAAAAZING adventure and along they way they meet other people who are....(wait for it...) AMAZING!. Apparently some people are are easily amazed. Too much time is spent having them interview each other, hug each other and say AMAZING about things about each other than the trail itself. Actually its amazing you can having this many people in a movie and none of them are either interesting or talented.Prior to viewing this film I was interested in hiking the trail. Now, maybe I'd rather not. Would like to see the sights. Would rather not spend time running into an assortment of misfits trying to convince themselves they are doing something important. When the bear shows up at one point I was really rooting for an attack - but like everything else in this movie, the bear let me down too.Think creativity is always a good thing? This movie can make you think otherwise.

JohnLadd I've hiked the JMT for years, usually as a solo but sometimes in groups. This movie is very true to the crazy, collective experience of the trail. It catches the exhaustion, the exhilaration, the inevitable problems that arise, the feeling that the trail is going on forever. Every JMT hiker who has seen it has been very, very impressed with how well the experience has been captured.I am not the movie expert that many reviewers here are, but I at least think it holds its own as a documentary. Good humor, great visuals, and the sound recording is awesome and really adds to the film. I bought the DVD after viewing the film in a preview session and I plan to show it to anyone who asks me about the experience.

randysxe I first heard about Mile...Mile & A Half on Facebook. They had a screening in San Diego in August 2013! What an amazing movie by some amazing people. My wife and I just got married in July 2013 and The JMT is our honeymoon for June/July 2014! This movie just made us more excited than we were. Such a beautiful movie, well put together, and absolutely stunning and hilarious. I loved it so much I saw it a second time earlier this month in the actual movie theater screenings! I would recommend this to any one. If you love to hike and backpack and love the Sierras, this movie will blow your mind! GO SEE IT!!! Bring the entire family! I bought the Blu Ray copy to show all my family and friends. Do yourself a favor, don't miss a screening in your town!

blueklister This is a really well put together film. Before it was released, I was only hoping for a really good documentary on the Muir Trail, but after seeing it, I realize it's about the people that visit the Muir Trail and as one of the participants put it, it's not about the places you go, it's the people you choose to do them with. Everything about this film is well done, from the cinematography, to the great music written by Opus Orange, to the great sound, to the storyline. The original intent was to come back from the hike and create a short, 3 minute feature, but upon their return they discover they have over 30 hours of footage. Raising over $80,000 for post-production on Kickstarter, they create more than a collection of footage, they make a real movie. It is inspiring and enlightening and makes you want to go hike the Muir Trail. This is 90 minutes well spent.
