Leave your thoughts about X Games 3D: The Movie.
| Entertainment WeeklyAdam MarkovitzMostly an overlong demo reel of increasingly gutsy tricks. |
| Washington PostKate KilpatrickFor a quick ticket into the world of extreme sports, the sky-high, adrenaline-gorged stunts captured in X Games will make any spectator gasp, wince and brace with fear. |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter HartlaubPoorly written, contains too much hero worship and profiles too many events - including one that combines the high jump with motorcycles. But the documentary generates a remarkable amount of goodwill with its stunning visuals, which look breathtaking in 3-D. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleAn uneven thrill-circus display that too often feels like TV writ large and loud rather than the kind of cinematic reimagining that defined the surf-flick genre. |
| Boston GlobeEthan GilsdorfYou’d think the 3-D effects would bring the action closer, but the kooky optics often have the opposite effect, turning the athletes into GI Joe and Boba Fett action figures zipping around a dollhouse set. |
| Village VoiceTim GriersonSteve Lawrence's glitzy infotainment raises the question, "How much awesomeness can an audience take?" |
| The Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttOnly in the loosest sense is X Games 3D: The Movie an actual movie. It is essentially a promotional film for extreme action sports and ESPN. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIf you're a fan of extreme skateboarding, motorcycling and motocross, this is the movie for you. If not, not. And even if you are, what's in the film other than what you might have seen on TV? Yes, it's in 3D, which adds nothing and dims the picture. |
| Time OutDrew ToalDime-store philosophy, coupled with the running commentary from the Games’ heinously Spicoli-esque announcers (“Dude, that was the hardest slam we’ve ever seen!”), ruins an otherwise gripping, in-your-face experience. |
| VarietyAndrew BarkerA relatively unimaginative take on the proceedings, coupled with occasionally bizarre stereoscopic work and awkward narration, causes the picture to bail out more often than it soars. |
