Summary: Boring
Review: The music is good, but the movie is just boring. Not much story either.

Summary: good... if you're not boring or a jaded raver
Review: okay... the people who don't like this movie seem to fall into two main categories. number one: people who don't like electronic music, and have never been to, or wanted to go to a rave in their life. and two: people who do go to parties, and think that this movie is cliche.

this movie acheives what it sets out to be, a feel good movie about the rave culture. for other rave kids out there, yes i know that this movie isn't overly realistic, but it's not real life it is a movie. they are just trying to make a slick little movie about an undergound party, not a documentary about the party culture. yes human traffic is a better movie, and a little bit closer to real life (especially for those of you that live in europe) but this movie is good for different reasons. it reminds me of just starting out in the scene, and the (some say overly cute) ending reminds me of the feeling raves give you, especially at first. the kids documented in human traffic are a little bit farther down the line, the kids in groove are still way out of the jaded raver territory.

overall, this movie probably won't change the way you look at life, but it's worth watching for sure. so just take it for what it is. another reviewer on here wrote that the american scene is all about doing "cool dance moves" and "looking cool". i think that's a funny comment coming from the european club scene (and ironically no one really dances very cooly in this movie) i liked this movie when i first started going to parties so long ago, and i like it now. quit your bitchin.

Summary: It's just ok
Review: For those looking for some great movie with good acting and a great story, you should probably skip this one. This movie is ok, the music takes it from a 2-star to a 3-star. It shows very accurately what takes place in the underground rave scene and has some good parts, but like I said, you won't feel like you have really spent your time wisely. That said, I've wasted time in my life watching this quite a few times, but mostly for the music.

Summary: Horrible story, some good music
Review: The formula for a successful film documenting rave culture, in my estimation, is to highlight the music not a big night out for a bunch of poorly acted newb party goers

I understand the effort in trying to capture the elements of the underground culture to those not familiar with the seen would be challenging and it was valiant effort but it feel flat on its face. Cheesy ethereal talk while high on ecstasy, lame sub plots litter the storyline, and nauseating lines like "we don't stop till the last record spins" ...come on, who says that. The director really had a chance to touch on some of the spiritual benefits of taking drugs but again choose uninspired topics , at least give us some thought provoking dialog PLEASE if your not going to focus on the music.


There are some nice tracks on here, its nice to see Digweed as a cameo, and the visual elements are right on. My advice is to take the 20$ you were going to spend on this movie and buy the soundtrack or buy a roll, grab some friends, head to the city and experience it first hand for yourself.


I have to give it 1 star even thought the music is good. Its that bad.

Summary: Great and accurate depiction of underground raves
Review: This movie is a great and pretty accurate depiction of underground raves. If you're not a techno-music fan or don't even care about raves, you'll probably find this movie pointless and superficial and you should skip it.
But if you're the least open-minded, interested about what underground raves are about, you will like it. I know I did.

Summary: Want to know what raves are sort of about, Pick this up
Review: I picked up this movie, and found it to be excellent. Although I think Greg harrison didnt do that much of a good job describing what a rave is more like. Besides that, this is a good movie,excellent Trance music,nice effects with the lasers,good directing,nice story. Everybody should see this movie if you into raves,trance,or are familar with ecstacy.

Was the last song that Digweed put on, was that his song. Cause I have a cd by DJ EION, that has that exact same song on it, and this cd I had for quite some time(4 years).

Rating:
Summary: John Digweed,... need I say more?
Review: Thiis movie is quite pointless. all it is about is a bunch of people trying to have fun at a rave. There is no real action and no drama. The only good thing about the movie is the music. If there is one reason to see this movie, it is to hear the music.

Summary: touched my soul
Review: Seeing this video convinced me to follow my heart to Montana. I always wanted to try the ski-bum thing and this video helped "seal the deal." More than your standard low-brow action video, Greg Stump mixes the soulful essence of snow sports with occasional lightweight political commentary. Great music, humor, and top-notch skiing make this my favorite non-Warren Miller video. Don't miss it!
