I don't follow extreme sports and I'm in the over-fifty crowd. But I came away from Ultimate X with increased respect for what they do, even if it also reinforced my notion that Americans place too much emphasis on sports... Full review

Ultimate X was everything it advertised to be. It was wild, crazy, and insane. It put the more extreme sports in full perspective. The only downfall I had with the film was the length. Easily could have been longer then... Full review

Video: Presented as it was filmed (1.33:1 is the IMAX ratio), "Ultimate X" looks pretty good, although some of the film techniques give the appearance of haloing and edge enhancement, as well as compression artifacts. Ultimate X" looks at their motivations for participating in something they know will cause great bodily harm and has the possibility of killing them but unfortunately the film never looks at anything in any sort of meaningful depth. ...

ESPN's Ultimate X: The Movie" is rated PG for sports-related violence, scattered use of mild, religious-based profanity and some mildly vulgar humor. Also profiled are two kings of their respective sports, skateboarding legend Tony Hawk and Mat Hoffman, who has mastered the art of BMX stunts. ... Full Review

Ultimate X devotes as much time to fast-paced interviews as it does to fast-paced (and often stunning) footage and those expecting a balls-out X-Games experience might be a bit disappointed. This is a marvelous behind-the-scenes look at the sport and although most of you would never admit it, I can guarantee you that anyone who checks out Ultimate X will find themselves flipping past ESPN later this year just to see whats going on. ...

The Movie: I don't follow extreme sports or the X-Games, but I still found Ultimate X somewhat entertaining. I couldn't help but feel that this film would have been more impressive on the IMAX screen, though. ... Full Review

A short reality check about the dangers of action sports, with the stars of "Ultimate X" talking about the various injuries they have had, from broken bones and chronic pain, to paralysis and concussion. Extras: " First things first Ill allow that todays youth, the target market of the "Ultimate X" disc are able to multitask like no other, and are able to decipher cryptic codes but the menu scheme is so ridiculously overblown and difficult to navigate to frustrate even them. ...
