World Premiere: BMW Films - The Escape

Eagle1oh7 · 10-23-2016, 11:10 PM

I thought it was okay. Hopefully they make more of them that alternate between light and dark themes.

Rick Hunter · 10-24-2016, 12:32 AM

Great start to hopefully many more BMW Films!

The only complaint I have about the film? NO STICK SHIFT (which is unfortunately the wave of the future). The original films were magical especially watching Clive tossing the E39 stick all over the place.

Sedan_Clan · 10-24-2016, 12:50 AM

Liked it, but didn't love it as much as Clive & Madonna in the M5.

PEHM5 · 10-24-2016, 01:13 AM

Sure wished the F-10 M5 was featured in the short film. Maybe the new M5 will be used in a future short film.

And for those of you who questioned the use of marketing like this, it's pretty clear it gives a hell of a lot of publicity and free-sharing by media because it's awesome - One of them being a tech site (not even a car-site) like The Verge

I expected something better.

Better storyline, better chasing scenes, better action...

Just like the old BMW Films...

Car looks good though

Thats exactly what i thought it was missing. I felt there was not enough driving or taking turns fast. I think Star is the best one of the bunch to show the driving aspect in the film.

when it ended i said to myself "thats it? its over?" It felt like they could have done so much more with that guy chasing him instead of just getting in a helicopter and watching Clive drive in a straight line. I guess they are illustrating that the car is good on highway.

How did they manage to film this with no one getting spy shots of the car during production?

Bbb34 · 10-24-2016, 07:09 AM

Lucky he didn't have drive-train malfunction during that chase.

C5 FOR · 10-24-2016, 07:44 AM

Excellent show case for the G30, pulling the helicopter into the bridge was just superb.

P.s. Are they mixed tyres on the car, all pics to date and this movie look like they aren't.

BMW postet on Facebook that:

"Getting out was just the beginning.
The Escape is now available at bmwfilms.com."

I hope they mean that they produce more movies

SCOTT26 · 10-24-2016, 09:53 AM

Yes there will be more films featuring more directors and upcoming models in this series.

Germanauto · 10-24-2016, 10:59 AM

The story was mind-numbingly stupid. What a wasted opportunity.

But the 5er looked great and that's what matters.

Mani59 · 10-24-2016, 11:15 AM

I really liked it! Almost as good as the old ones

86rexer · 10-24-2016, 11:50 AM

they filmed by the Burlington Bay bridge and Burlington Street in Hamilton.
Great to see local landmarks....

Laki021 · 10-24-2016, 12:17 PM

Beautiful car, terrible engine sound, more like a lawn mower than a powerful car.

Laki021 · 10-24-2016, 12:50 PM

Guys, the movie needs 5 ratings to get an IMDB official rating, so what are you waiting for?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6078822/?ref_=nv_sr_2

Of course, 10 is an obligatory mark, even if you don't like the movie that much

ando · 10-24-2016, 01:17 PM

Intense short flick. Like it

TopEndCC · 10-24-2016, 02:21 PM

Sweet!

Danyutz · 10-24-2016, 02:32 PM

Great action clip, but, I couldn't oversee that at 7:04, he puts the car into Drive, but drives in Reverse.
