Summary: The end of rave culture...
Review: First the criticism: this movie is so chock full of stereotypes and - believe it or not - cliches, it isn't funny. From the opening of the bay door in the beginning to finding electricity that works to finding cops who let you rave on, it never lets up. But, then again, that is from the point of view of what makes a 'good' movie. Now for the good news. If you've been a raver, wanna be raver, pseudo raver or someone just curious, it's all about the music, the groove and freeing yourself through dance. This movie rates way high for all of the above. The movie is just a vehicle to showcase the music. You've got more cliches - the wannabe DJ (why is it that he looks like DJ QBert?), the crazy haired chick DJ, the geek DJ and John Digweed making a (great) cameo - all spinning music. Again, while they are caricatures (even Digweed, a caricature of the superstar DJ), they are vehicles to the music. Showing this through the eyes of an uptight business writer was relatively clever but all of the other characters are pretty much uninteresting. I didn't really care a whole lot about what was up. Perhaps you'll find yourself in some of the types. Overall though, they - and the rave scene as a whole - come across as a bunch of drug using, sensation oriented, can't get high enough bunch of people. Perhaps this is more true than we care to admit. If you've been to one rave or been to a bunch of raves, you'll find yourself right back there and feeling that urge to move. In all honesty, though, I could've left the movie behind and stuck with the music and the visuals. But sit back, watch and smile, and have some fun. Just don't expect much depth. By the way, 'the end of rave culture' simply means that once something pure has gone mainstream, it is on the decline. When mainstream books and movies find their way into a large audience it has become - and this is a negative - popular.

Summary: Terrible
Review: I have to say after being a great fan of Human Traffic I had hopes that this movie would also be a classic, Unfortuanetly it is just pure drivel, bad acting bad cinematography just plain bad , if you want a good movie about raves see Human Traffic instead

Summary: brayn
Review: this movie is how a bay area rave really is like in that time period of 99-00 when the rave scene hit its peak i mean clubbers fm the age of 14-33 yrs can watch this and just wanna dance. good story about david who is kind of a nerd who goes to a rave and relizes where he really fits in and leyla who helps find his groove but also leyla was about i would say early 30's who spent most of her adulthood clubbing and regreted it. moral of the story is even though you never to old to get your groove on they are more things in life besides clubbing.but about the movie in definetly depicts the late 90's with the style of clothes and the music and the dance style. take a chance and pick this one up you won't regret it.

Summary: Finally
Review: Finally someone made an accurate account of the party life in California. Not glorifying, not condemning, but real. True and well done. Character development was a bit spotty, but the interaction is perfect and the soundtrack just can't be beat. Excellent cinematography. Very well directed. GREAT set production. Wonderful all the way around!!

Summary: Nicely portays the rave scene in my opinion....
Review: As soon as i heard of this movie I had to buy this dvd cuz I wanted to see if it was all that great and also to see how badly it would actually depict the rave scene. To my surprise, I actually liked it, the whole story-line is actually pretty decent, there are scenes where it shows peeps dancing and having fun and it just takes you to those memories that u had just like that. The only thing i didn't like about the movie is that it seems like during those dance scenes.... its the same peeps dancing which gives it a feel like there was only 20 people attending the rave. other than that i like the movie. peace

Summary: Well Glorified Night Life
Review: Being a Person of the bay area I can watch this film and see what's real and what's not. The ravers act like we do and the parties are thrown like we'd like them to be. But the film has a kind hearted cheeziness that sadly isn't real. This is a film of night life glofied. The rave scene is sadly dying and we don't get to have the fun everyweekend that these kids do. It's a reminder of the way things were... Good Film... my favorite!

Summary: A movie that contains the true spirit of these parties
Review: This truely captures the entire rave scene before the involvement of harsh vibes. it really took me to when i first went to them. i know many other reviews said that, but back in those days, where it was all about the music, and drug usage was limited oh my god, it really entranced and rekindled my feelings for it all over again

Summary: Get a Grip People...it's a movie.
Review: First of all let me start by saying I loved this movie! ... my wife listens to christian country and it's now her favorite movie she watches it more than I do, and she has NEVER been to a rave.The acting is great for the production, those of you complaining about the visual quality and sound- This movie did not have a million dollar budget, if you want hollywood crap go rent men in black 2 again. This film gave a great depiction of the party scene, yes it does condone drug use, but responsible use. If you had seen the movie you would see that it also shows one kid who is being irresponsible and who winds up having someone stay with him so he dosent die. My only complaint is the reviewers that keep saying over and over this isn't what a rave looks like! REALIZE THAT A RAVE IS DIFFERENT IN EVERY TOWN.Out here partys are held in cow pastures, I have never been to california but I have a pretty good feeling that the depiction is spot on.For the gifted PLUR...for the haters U.F.O.

Summary: It took me back...
Review: I was a hard core raver from 1991-1997 in Baltimore and this movie left me dying to go out to a good party. Oh how I miss those days. If you want a small glimpse into the life of a raver you should watch this movie; moreover, the movie reflects how some ravers actually go to parties for the music and not the drugs.

Summary: All age folks...
Review: This film is actually important! Its not just well done & fun, but a learning experience. The details are close enough to real life to help anyone learn more about the youth of the current generation.
Although it may not make much sense in a deeper way to some, its still a fun & entertaining film, so anyone should enjoy it. Brent :)
