The story of the evolution of extreme sports featuring breath-taking footage and interviews with the pioneers of the movement. More than just a compilation of stunts X is an exciting engrossing and considered look at the on-going pursuit of personal freedom and the desire to keep pushing limits.
This 40-minute world travelogue made for IMAX theatres focuses on the few remaining people who still live close to the land. Narrator Robert Redford mentions we should listen to these folks since, as the movie seems to insist, they have some inner peace the rest of civilization does not (represented by sped-up clips of urban life à la Koyaanisqatsi). Certainly their worlds look lavish: the deserts America, the rain forests of Borneo, the rocky shorelines of Alaska, the plains of Africa. As IMAX documentaries go, this is one of the thinnest, and since you lose the impressive vistas from the gigantic IMAX screen (unless you have a monitor the size of a house), it works better as a diversion. Other films have stated this message more effectively and entertainingly. --Doug Thomas
