\"Magnetic\"<\/img><\/p>\n

(Welcome to\u00a0The Quarantine Stream<\/strong>, a new series<\/a> where the \/Film team shares what they\u2019ve been watching while social<\/a> distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.)<\/em><\/p>\n

The Movie:<\/strong> Magnetic<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Where You Can Stream It:<\/strong>\u00a0Netflix<\/p>\n

The Pitch:\u00a0<\/strong>A film crew travel<\/a>s around the world documenting extreme sports junkies performing adrenaline-pumping feats, including skiing down a nearly-sheer mountain face, surfing massive waves, and more.<\/p>\n

Why It\u2019s Essential Quarantine Viewing: <\/strong>As the United States continues to completely botch its handling of the coronavirus pandemic, tons of countries around the world have banned U.S. citizens from entering their borders. That makes international travel extremely difficult for us right now, but at least we can turn to the movies to whisk us away to some far-flung locales in an attempt to vicariously satisfy our sense of wanderlust. Not only does Magnetic<\/em>\u00a0visit some jaw-dropping locations, but it captures some gasp-inducing footage of athletes engaging in some incredible moments along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not a connoisseur of extreme sports films, so I can\u2019t tell you how this fits into the context of that genre or how it compares to any similar movies of this type. But one of my biggest takeaways here was: man, these shots look cool. As someone who is constantly searching for intellectual stimulation in movies and bristles at the idea of \u201cturning off my brain\u201d when I watch something, I\u2019ll admit it can be nice to\u2026let\u2019s call it relax<\/em> my brain, veg out, and let drone photography and the athletes on display do all the work.<\/p>\n

Not every segment is a slam dunk. One section featuring a pair of bikers seems almost laughably out of place compared with the rest of the sports being showcased here. A windsurfing segment feels repetitive and stale after a couple of minutes. And there\u2019s also a whiff of privilege that permeates the whole movie, with only a few moments putting people of color in the center of the frame and the rest of the time spent following advantaged white guys who don\u2019t seem aware that other folks must overcome significant societal and structural barriers just to participate in these sports. But the surfing and skiing footage, which takes up a majority of the run time, is pretty great, and while I never found myself invested in the journeys of these guys, I was consistently in awe of their physical prowess and audacity \u2013 especially one surfer who nearly dies, but essentially shakes it off and says he\u2019s going to continue on. The film is a study of addiction, and the high these athletes get when they ride a mammoth wave or carve up the side of a steep mountain face is so strong that they\u2019re willing to put everything on the line, again and again, to get the next taste.<\/p>\n

For me, the film\u2019s best segment is one of its last. That\u2019s when the movie heads to New Zealand and follows a pair of speedflyers who paraglide down mountains at breakneck speeds. It\u2019s awe-inspiring to watch them spinning and flipping their way down, sometimes nearly skimming the surface along the way, but it\u2019s even more impressive to see the shots of where they begin those flights, seemingly thousands of feet up and floating out over some of the most beautiful landscapes on the planet.<\/p>\n

Magnetic<\/em>\u2018s narrative won\u2019t rock your world, but if you want to bask in the glory of athleticism via some kick-ass slow motion and vicariously travel the world, you could certainly do worse.<\/p>\n
