Not so much worth the hype, but an interesting watch by far. Kept me pretty entertained throughout the entire thing.
Blocky video, hissy hollow sound, and a weird angle ... what more can you ask for from a CAM release? A weird blinky white line towards the top of the screen on the left hand side, got kind of annoying, but I got through it ... btw: it's there the whole movie. Not too many ppl in the movie, I mean the kind that walk in front of the screen, more towards the end ... but like I already stated: it's a CAM.
Due to the weird angle, about 1/2 to 2/3 of the subs are cut off when the Iraqi people are talking, so you have to extrapolate what they are saying, it's kind of obvious, they are saying "F**k you Pres. Bush, F**k you America." Nice. I really thought it was a good idea for them to use only sound from 9/11, and not the infamous video of the planes flying into those buildings. It was more dramatic this way, and less wrenching to watch. I thank the movie makers for that aspect of the film.
CD2 has some really dark parts ... where you can't really see anything that's going on for a while in the video ... it's around 25:30 on the 2nd DISC. Some of the surround sound is awefully muffled too ... like the background music is barely audible, not sure why this is this way, unless it's that low in the movie, 'cause the speaking parts are normal volume, not sure, I haven't had the opportunity to see it in the theatre yet.
I watched it because of the hype, and knew most of what was told. Yeah, it's propaganda, but hell it's why we have "freedom of speech, and freedom of the press." It was entertaining, still fishing through what was fact and what was fiction ... a movie is a movie is a movie ... regardless of it's a biased documentary. Entertaining at most. Wait for the DVD and rent it from Blockbuster
/end rant
whoops, forgot to rate film .... haha
as a CAM:
6/5/7 (good enough) but yeah, Mr. CameraMan, please back away from the screen ... sit in the back row, less chance of getting caught
