Reviews for Ultimate X: The Movie
1 - 13 (sorted by date)
Top CriticThe film contains so much eye-popping footage that even viewers who have never seen the X Games can't help but be fascinated.
11/06/02
Top CriticWriter/director Bruce Hendricks subtracts from the experience by crafting a corporate propaganda film posing as a documentary.
07/20/02
Top CriticThe format gets used best ... to capture the dizzying heights achieved by motocross and BMX riders, whose balletic hotdogging occasionally ends in bone-crushing screwups.
05/14/02
Top CriticUltimate X is a ride, basically the kind of greatest-hits reel that might come with a subscription to ESPN the Magazine.
05/11/02
Top CriticMost of Ultimate X is comprised of truly exhilarating footage of men -- and one woman -- pushing their bodies and their nerve to the edge.
05/11/02
Top CriticInstead of a balanced film that explains the zeitgeist that is the X Games, we get a cinematic postcard that's superficial and unrealized.
05/10/02
Top CriticThese self-styled athletes have banged their brains into the ground so frequently and furiously, their capacity to explain themselves has gone the same way as their natural instinct for self-preservation.
05/10/02
Top CriticFor a film about action, Ultimate X is the gabbiest giant-screen movie ever, bogging down in a barrage of hype.
05/10/02
Top CriticProvides a satisfactory overview of the bizarre world of extreme athletes as several daredevils express their own views.
05/10/02
Top CriticTranscends its agenda to deliver awe-inspiring, at times sublime, visuals and offer a fascinating glimpse into the subculture of extreme athletes whose derring-do puts the X into the games.
05/09/02
Top CriticGreat fun both for sports aficionados and for ordinary louts whose idea of exercise is climbing the steps of a stadium-seat megaplex.
05/09/02
Top CriticThere's lots of cool stuff packed into ESPN's Ultimate X.
