You might enjoy this oddball ESPN documentary about extreme sports including skateboarding, motorcycling and motocross. Mostly, I think, it's aimed at kids and/or extreme sports enthusiasts.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 5, 2009

Such dime-store philosophy, coupled with the running commentary from the Games' heinously Spicoli-esque announcers, ruins an otherwise gripping, in-your-face experience.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 26, 2009

A slick, fawning, shamelessly commercial puff piece that occasionally hits on an eye-popping image and just goes sick.

| Aug 24, 2009

The highlight is a contest of wills between three contestants of the extreme skateboarding of the Slam event. It is heavy drama worth the price of the ticket.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 22, 2009

A dirt bike motorcycle enthusiast as well as a 3D aficionado, I had a great time overall, despite the film's imperfections.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 22, 2009

Aside from unrevealing sit-downs with a few key players, X-Games 3D: The Movie is mostly an overlong demo reel of increasingly gutsy tricks.

| Original Score: C+ | Aug 21, 2009

Unfocused and underwhelming, X Games 3D is most notable as a missed opportunity.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 21, 2009

There's some jaw dropping eye candy in 'X Games 3D: The Movie,' but there are also wasted opportunities.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 21, 2009

This feature is X-treme only in its multidimensional dullness, which is compounded by interviews in which the interchangeable thrillbots discuss themselves and each other with an immense lack of insight.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 21, 2009

Has stunning 3D visuals which briefly provide a rush of adrenaline, but it often feels too dull while lacking insight and suspense as well as palpable excitement.

| Original Score: 4.0/10 | Aug 21, 2009

Although the competitions are undoubtedly impressive achievements in the daredevil arts, as a record of what these mentally tough participants do, it too often feels like a warmed-over energy drink.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 21, 2009

Sports documentary is full of sights -- and salesmanship.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 21, 2009

Those of us who prefer the winter edition of the X Games -- snowboarding and all that - would be happy to watch a counterpart film to this one, with a bit of snow. Just a hint, ESPN.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 21, 2009

Be aware that the action is so extreme it verges on being a sports snuff film.

Parental Content Review

Lawrence isn't asking us to consider these deeper thoughts. He's in it for the thrills, with no interest in the wives, children or friends who worry about the life these men have chosen.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 21, 2009

This promotion for the ESPN event is poorly written, contains too much hero worship and profiles too many events.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 21, 2009

3D is X-treme film-making and thus well suited to the X Games, hyper-intense, hyper-dangerous, hyper-what are they thinking? sports that are closer to stunts.

| Original Score: B | Aug 20, 2009

With its self-promoting tone and overwrought voice-over, the movie can seem more an ad for the X Games (and ESPN Films) than a real sports documentary.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 20, 2009
