Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

darost After this movie, I listened to Digweed, and I listened to Sasha, and I listed to Digweed and Sasha, and I subscribe to Transitions on iPod and I totally dig Digweed. What's to get upset abt? Music sweet music... Gotta have ten lines, so at the risk of repeating myself...I enjoyed the music, I thought I saw some female humans in it, and as I like girls a lot, that made me very happy (okay, I'm a dirty old man, but I come from a long line of dirty old men), and the music was fun, the atmosphere was not like when I was that age but it was also not so unlike, just different, but it's still people, there's still a beat, people still care and love, I enjoyed it and hope to see (AND HEAR) it again.

everso-3 The comment below me couldn't be more wrong about rolling and talking and expressing yourself. I have been rolling for 7 years now...and I have expressed myself very fully while doing it. There are moments when I don't even feel like touching and feeling and blah blah blah...there are moments I would rather sit and talk then touch and feel. A rave is a great time to reflect, if you can find a quiet enough spot to do it in...yes that is difficult at times at parties, but it is possible. The below comment is so wrong it insulted me. I wasn't even a member of this site, I registered specifically to make sure that people know not to listen to the foolish comment below. That person is WRONG. I have reflected a lot at raves in the past 6 years that I have been in the scene, I have talked and expressed myself more than I can even say in the 7 years that I have been doing E. This movie is the BEST depiction of a rave, ever. It makes you feel like you're there, the end is better than any other rave movie I have ever seen (GO pretty much sucked) and um...yea, I love Groove because of the way it truthfully depicts not only the scene, but the feelings involved in the scene and in rolling. This movie is TRUE. Period.

frankwhat A very cute little tale of the Southern California underworld action going on up in this film. This isn't one to watch if you're looking for an Oscar flick in the making but if your goal is too zone out with something entertaining for just a little over an hour then look no further! Some ravers complain that it wasn't accurate enough but think about it, I mean real shady stuff goes down at these parties and if they were to show it exactly as it is then the movie would be rated NC-17 at the least. The music was great and I thought it was neat how they had real life DJ's make some cameos. The multiple sub-plots made it interesting to follow because it switched between a couple of groups and I liked it since even though it did this I didn't find it confusing at all. The only flaw I really found was the acting tended to be a little weak but a handful actually did okay. I also thought the movie was too short and they definitely could've extended it to two hours and still have demanded my attention but with the low-budget they had it's to be expected. It got my mind off things for awhile and I enjoyed it.Final Dance:Movies: I wouldn't mind going if only to hear it on the gigantic speakers.DVD Purchase: Will have to think about this for a little bit...but is a strong possibility.Rental: I already want to watch it again!

edwie I watched this movie because of a trailer I watched on HBO. Never heard of it before, but it seemed interesting.Point is, I loved it to the point of even recording it and recommending it to my friends. I was in the rave scene during the mid 90's, when the likes of Scooter, Faithless, Robert Miles, Mark 'Oh and many others were at their peak.I truly enjoyed this movie and felt I was there the whole night. This movie is definitely not meant for anyone, much less for those who still don't understand what indie films are about. This was certainly not Arakki or Aranofsky, but I have to commend director Greg Harrison for this piece of work.This movie starts with the sound of a modem connecting to the internet... sooooo 1998! It was funny. Then you see all these fast stories about weirdos and their lives.The plot was definitely secondary in this movie. I could not care less about Leyla, or Colin, or whoever... But I guess that wasn't exactly the point.Although the party was somewhat different from what I used to go to, its structure was basically the same: Clandestine party, where you need maps and bribe a few guys to know exactly where you're going; the different levels of music throughout the night, from slow-beat clubhouse to orgasmic trance; the amount of drugs, the doped people, the escape from it all.There were pointless scenes, like those gay guys trying to get to the party (there was already a gay moment between Colin and that masseuse guy.. poor Harmony!). I recognized Rachel True, the gorgeous girl from "The Craft", I had no idea she was on this.I agree with the one who commented that John Digweed would never play in a party like this.. Actually I laughed when he made his cameo... So what was next? Tiesto? Johan Gielen? Paul Oakenfold?This movie was also a reflect of how these parties were about 5-10 years ago. Yes, the electronic scene has become much more commercial, specially in Holland and Belgium. I guess that it's not so special to me anymore, now that virtually everyone has discovered it.And yes, once the party got busted, there's no way they would have gotten away with starting it again!When the party is over, the movie is over, leaving the viewer with the SAME FEELING most ravers had when leaving... "Now what?" After an amazing night of "everything", you have to realize that it's all over and life must goes on... at least for most of us.
