The full-length feature film uses groundbreaking digital 3D techniques to provide an unprecedented all-access pass to the X Games. Read full review

Washington PostKate Kilpatrick
For 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. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyAdam Markovitz
Mostly an overlong demo reel of increasingly gutsy tricks. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterKirk Honeycutt
Only 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. Read full review

Village VoiceTim Grierson
Steve Lawrence's glitzy infotainment raises the question, "How much awesomeness can an audience take?" Read full review

Boston GlobeEthan Gilsdorf
You’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. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert Abele
An 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. Read full review

San Francisco ChroniclePeter Hartlaub
Poorly 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. Read full review

A 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. Read full review

Unfocused and underwhelming. Read full review

Time OutDrew Toal
Dime-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. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert
If 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. Read full review

New York PostKyle Smith
Demonstrating that an hour and a half of stunts doesn't make a movie, this feature is X-treme only in its multidimensional dullness. Read full review
