These 50 different passionate perspectives,... On October 9, 2004, the Beastie Boys handed out 50 cameras to audience members at their sold-out performance in New York's famed Madison Square Garden. These 50 different passionate perspectives, shot from the point-of-view of the audience, take the viewer deep inside the world of a live Beastie Boys show, prismatically and kinetically capturing the experience of a live musical performance like no film has ever done. AWESOME; I FUCKIN' SHOT THAT! is a cinematic celebration starring, Mike D (Michael Diamond), Adrock (Adam Horovitz), and MCA (Adam Yauch) as the Beastie Boys; along with other special appearances by other special guests who are special, especially the camera operators who were especially special. The film was photographed, as director Nathanial Hörnblowér says, by "a bunch of untrained camera operators. But that gives the film sincerity. The people that shot it, were feeling it." --© THINKFilm [More]

The frenetic filmmaking style is perfect for documenting the loopy, lickety-split raps of the Beasties

If you're a fan, this might be worth a look, but for everyone else, this is a ****ing piece of ****. I can say that because the word **** is in the title.

The result, although a great idea, doesn't translate into a great movie.

[An] entertaining and wildly kinetic documentary.

The high level of manipulation (including solarization, flash cuts and video feedback) gives the event a hallucinatory quality that keeps it mostly interesting -- providing you're a Beastie Boys fan.

For the most part, the film is a chaotic blur of disconnected movement that re-creates the feeling of an unforgettably bad concert experience.

Awesome isn't a big enough word for how great this movie is.

This jumpy, slap-happy and loud historical document (the performance is from Oct. 9, 2004) should satisfy Beastie Boy fans and the 50 untrained shooters whose footage is deployed.

If you're not a Beasties fan, you'll get almost nothing out of this after about two minutes. But if you like the band and want to see them rock hard in front of their oldest fans, it's a tasty treat.

The novelty of the deliberate ugliness wears off after a song or two.

Awesome is a guaranteed headache for any viewers not immune to motion sickness. The ticket price should include a bottle of aspirin.

Shot from nearly every imaginable vantage point in the Garden, the film gives a pretty good idea of what it might have been like to be there.

The Beastie Boys rock the house -- in this case, Madison Square Garden -- in this high-energy concert movie shot in October 2004.

This one's in-your-face, of the moment, and filmed from the trenches. It's raucous and loud as hell; the hyperactive editing could trigger grand mal seizures. It's a Beastie Boys concert movie -- what did you expect?

It starts out on the nausea-inducing side, but it quickly settles into one of the most vivid concert experiences ever filmed.
