The Movie: It's about a rave and the people who go to it. It was pretty unentertaining, with a very weak plot filled with terribly generic and/or stereotypical characters where nothing really happens. In other words, there's no drama built into the story. Couple that with the fact that the acting was horrible, and well, you get a pretty horrible movie.

Rather than go in depth into exposing what the world of raves is really like, this movie just kind of glosses over some very superficial stuff and pretends that there's a story behind it. There's the guy whose brother has never been to a rave and doesn't want to go, but goes anyway. He doesn't have a good time until he pops some pills and then suddenly he's having a great time. There's the gay couple that never make it to the party. There's the DJ who is just starting out who feels the pressure of playing in front of a big crowd... the obligatory visit by the police... I don't know, there just wasn't anything in this movie that really grabbed me and made we want to keep watching it. It's pretty hard to care for characters who are completely flat caricatures.

The DVD: This is one of those DVD's that is a "special edition" even though it's the only edition. The film is presented in a 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen format, and the film transfer is below average, with lots of grain and dull colors. A lot of the action takes place in the dark, and I don't know if it's the original film or a bad transfer, but it just didn't come out that great. There are two audio mixes (5.1 and 2 channel), and also an option to watch the movie with an isolated score (just the music).

Special features include theatrical trailers (i didn't watch them), a little slow-mo camera test (not that interesting), screen tests (also not that interesting... the actors were horrible, why would I want to see their screen tests?), photos (didn't look at), behind the scenes (blah who cares, the whole thing was shot in a warehouse in san francisco), and some other junk that I didn't care to see.

I wouldn't recommend this movie or this DVD to anybody. If you are not a raver, this movie is pretty boring, and won't give you a good depiction of what the rave "scene" is really like. If you do go to raves, you probably will be disappointed at just how flat and superficial this movie is. The only people I can see liking this movie are people who would actually call themselves "true ravers" who are mostly underaged teenagers who would put animated "PLUR" signs on their web sites and constantly talk about dropping E cuz it's the only thing they do with their lives.
