BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

KDWms I don't follow extreme sports and I'm in the over-fifty crowd. But I came away from Ultimate X with increased respect for what they do, even if it also reinforced my notion that Americans place too much emphasis on sports and entertainment. Here's one viewer who thinks that this is just the right length and who wishes that I'd seen in on a big screen. (Now they're showing it on TV.) In my opinion, this highlights-style documentary contains above-average pictures, sound and interviews, and provides an interesting introduction to, and insight into the cream of this crop. I would have liked to have known more about the scoring, but, absent that, I assume that it's predominantly subjective, boring and not appropriate on film.

big_bird8802 this film is not only chalk full of incredible camera angles and interviews with todays "real" athletes. it states that the reason many people get into this kind of sports is to be different from all the basketball, baaaaseball players etc. and they are a little messed up to want to do these things like jump 20ft high on a bicycle and speed down a hill 2 inches from the ground at about 85 mph. if you dont understand anything about these sports and would like to know more tis is the best thing to do short of talking to an athlete, even someone local whose been riding for years can tell you these things. watch this movie again and again to get the mentallity this people have. its short but it makes up for it

paulbrec I just saw this film at one of Toronto's IMAX theaters. I have seen other IMAX films, but this one was by far the most interesting. I have never fully understood the Extreme Sports, and have really never seen any live. This film was perfect for a person like me. The only problem was, like most IMAX films, it was too short. Just as I was getting into it, it was over. However, it was very interesting to watch, and educational. I recommend this film to anyone who wants to learn more about these sports.

andrew-276 I have just had my first visit to an IMAX cinema to see Ultimate X, best cinema experience in months.This 40 minute film has great pace, with amazing stunts, humour and dialogue, the adrenaline does not drop for a minute. Not a bad soundtrack either (Fat Boy Slim, Moby, 3rd Strike)Beware though it will only be shown on big screen cinemas only. I believe there to be only nine in the UK.
