Base

It's probably going to be difficult to get honest reviews about this piece of film. The reviews that are on this site more likely than not have been written by fans of the base jumper. The tragic death of Alexander Polli does make it difficult but this is a site devoted to movies, this is trying (at least in part) to be a movie, thus it deserves a review. First , it's my opinion that one unfortunate byproduct of technology is the fact that anyone can afford to buy a camera and anyone can try to make a movie. Well, just like everyone thinks he or she to be a comedian/comedienne and clearly this is never the case and most people should leave humour to the professionals or to family holiday performances. The same can be said about film making. Just because cameras are easy to get and use does not make the owner or the holder of a camera a film maker. Take out the jumping footage and what's left is an elementary school attempt at film making. Could have been a decent documentary or had they gone a different route , a writer could have been hired to draft a script.

It's hard to pull these action sports movies off and this director managed to do it almost exclusively with GoPros.

And the soundtrack was dope too.

This was a good film.

It lets non-jumpers a glimpse of what's like to be a jumper.

It shows the truth and reality of this sport.

I won't spoil anything that happens in the story, so you'll need to watch it to find out.

Watch it - you'll remember this film.

The acting is convincing, cinema photography is fab, but what made this film is most interesting, it was shot on a Gopro, the overall affect is very effective.

I think this was well produced and kept me engaged the whole time. I had sweaty palms, was very antsy, and on the edge of my seat the whole time. I recommend this to everyone I can. I watch it every time I recommend it too.
