Summary:
distant reminder of iT2, yet saying that title makes this sound better then it is. even so, I liked this movie.

Creativity: 6
I think the movie over all is innovative, but not creative in its parts. The feeling is chaotic and sometimes thats good. I kinda saw other movies in some of the effects but this just seems like a step in trick vid evolution, not a leap.

Editing: 8
I think the cams were artistic yet still clear most of the time, clear as in you can see where they are but not supportive of the content. I enjoyed the effects and transitions.

-Few impressive effects.
-cam moves that confuse up and down.
-picture in picture

+I always love speed changes.
+transitions

Content: 7
Content was good, but editing and cams covered up the tricks most of the time, unlike in CJ where every buddha trick was insane, the content didn't impress me here. Vid was to fast for the content.

Tricks are so high skilled now that they are hard to appreciate, so editing is more of a factor in enjoyment for me.

- q3dm6 and black rolling credits!

- 2nd audio track doesn't fit the movie and is pretty annoying.

Quality: 6
I didn't like some of the frame edges and the quality was a bit low for my tastes.

compression was average at that FPS and res.

Overall: 7
I liked the movie, didn't get bored while watching. I feel the editor(s) put a lot of work into this and it wasn't rushed. Crazy cams and a fast paced vid was the goal and some will like it, and others will like clean and calm style more. Not for die hard trickers as much as effects lovers.

ok for a single watch.

Summary:
wouldn't suggest downloading this video unless you want a headache from horrid use of z-roll

Creativity: 2
- didn't notice anything new or innovative in this movie
- used the same format of all other freestyle movies these days

Editing: 4
- way, way too much editing...very over-edited
- too much z-roll use...felt like i was in the washer getting tumbled around
- tricks ended too quickly or were drawn out too much at the end
- too much timescale manipulation (especially during the trick)...can't get a good feel for deceleration/acceleration before/after impacts
- pausing or repeating bad impacts for synching
- cams didn't properly show what was going on in the content
- not enough first person

+ some very nice transitions between tricks

Content: 6
- content was fairly weak, not too many impressive tricks
- bad impact timing on some tricks
- not much smooth styling showed on those that were first person (though can't tell that great because of the lack of first person)
- some bad looking maps picked
- expect more high end quality tricks from a video with this many trickers
- bad use of bfg/lightning

+ some good content from buddha/nihilanth mostly...also a few from cermiz/fleshwelder/umek

Quality: 7
+ looked alright to me

Overall: 5
- overall 4.8/10...wasn't impressive at all
