Where the Yellowstone Goes

The Montana/Yellowstone footage is beautiful! But the actual movie really needs some help. It's about a bunch of random people, meeting other random people. You get bored after about 20 mins. Poorly done in terms of storyline.

Want to watch a bunch of shallow, boring 20-something losers raft for 30 days and talk about beer, fish and grunt about how nature is good and oil spills are bad? Then this the movie for you! The only good characters are the ones they meet along the way, and even then, most of them are as boring as the main characters. The movie desperately needed a poet, an historian, a scientist, a philosopher, a theologian—please, anyone who had something interesting to say. Even the gorgeous beauty of Montana is not enough to save this from being the least thought-provoking, shallowest and most boring documentary I have ever seen.

I watched this documentary really just wanting to enjoy a movie about something I've always wanted to do, which is float the Yellowstone river. What I got was some great footage, and a ton of mindless, annoying, and ridiculous talking. The two main guys kept talking about Louis and Clark at the start as if they were somehow kindred spirits.....seriously? They were eating cheez-it's and at one point spring salads with feta cheese and rosemary potatoes. There's no comparisons between the two. Other than that they fished, talked about "rip rap" (which is just rocks on the banks to control erosion *gasp*), talked about trains in a negative light, hated on petroleum dependency, and stopped off in towns along the river for a refreshing Guinness at local pubs. I guess what irked me the most was that they talked so badly about petroleum, and how we need to help the environment, but were covered in clothes and camping equipment that uses petroleum in its manufacturing process. These aren't bad folks at all, just a little full of crap, especially the guy with the glasses. Complete tool. Would say these "deep" things that made absolutely no sense. All in all it's a movie about some wealthy nature lovers, with way too much equipment and little insight, who are making an attempt at "roughing it." Ha.

Loved every minute of it. Soothed my Soul. Need more movies like this one.

Excellent approach and delivery! Isn't a blown out big budget NatGeo style film...very relatable… providing a sense of welcoming their audience along for the ride as it was. If you've been fortunate enough to have experienced the Yellowstone or say the Madison in person, you’ll be reacquainted with the magnificent beauty of western rivers…especially the precious Yellowstone. The filmmakers, cast and crew do a remarkable job sharing with us the natural character of the landscape, sights, sounds, people, culture, and even the climate synonymous with the region. If you haven't floated a western river…look no further for inspiration.

If you haven't already seen a Hunter Weeks film, you wouldn't know his own personal journey and why this is such a deep film outside of the themes it covers. Hunter really has taken the human experience to a different level here and it's exciting to watch as his storytelling grows up as the new stories come. Sarah's dad in this film is probably the best character he has ever discovered. And as you'll see when you watch, the music is an intricate character as well. For nature lovers and fans of true human introspect, this documentary is Hunter's best to date (and the others ain't bad.)

As someone who loves Montana, rivers, Yellowstone N.P. and the Yellowstone River, this movie was truly a gift. I loved every second of it, from the beautiful cinematography to the crew to the people they met along the way. It made me want to go back to Montana and find the "cake ladies" . I loved seeing parts of the river that I've seen before, and it inspired me to explore the parts of the river I haven't seen as well as wanting to do this whole route myself. I loved every second and have shared it with friends and family.

I really enjoyed Hunter's other films and Where the Yellowstone Goes is another Home Run. I've told my wife and kids that we will be vacationing in Montana soon and they'll understand after they see this film.

This is an amazing documentary, that is very well done. The scenery is awesome, as only Montana can do, and the people along the way are true representations of Montana and the Yellowstone. I found it to be inspiring, and an example of the determination of people to preserve and protect something rare and unique.

Thank you for making an amazing film available on iTunes! I hope other film makers follow.
