First of all, this is a much better movie than a '2' but it's not a high-7s either....

The thing is that nobody was able to string the images into any kind of story, or something that resembles a framed experience. It was a random bunch of tourist clips, that's all... The narrative isn't coherent. The context is unknown. People seem angry, joyful, all of a sudden without any understanding of what is going on.

I loved it, I love the people who made it, I loved watching it but Im a Burner. I drank the Kool Aid and then danced at Opulent and stumbled home at 4 am. I didn't but I did.

In summary. The movie just isn't useful for anybody who has never been there... You can't get any sense of anything from the film. Don't think you will understand what your experience might be by watching this film.
