X Games 3D: The Movie

As the title suggests, this movie is about the X Games that are sponsored by ESPN every year, which kind of makes this more of a promo for the Extreme Sports Network and less of a documentary.

It follows that if you’re interested in extreme sports you’ll probably love the movie, especially because it’s in 3D. If not, you’ll probably still be entertained and somewhat horrified by the big jumps and near-death experiences. You might not, however enjoy the “deep” stoner-type statements about life, like, “If you don’t push yourself, your soul does.” Can I just say that cheating death does not qualify anyone to become a philosopher, no matter how many concussions you might have endured.

It’s a spectacle of tricks, not an award-winning screenplay. Prepare yourself only for this and you won’t be disappointed.

Rating: 3 outta 5
