Ultimate X: The Movie Ratings & Reviews
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Phil Kloer
There is a breathtaking grace when these young men (and one female) ride a skateboard high into the air and flip the board and their bodies through an impossible series of contortions.
Buffalo News
Tony Lewis
A 42-minute promotional film masquerading as a documentary.
Variety
Scott Foundas
For all his visual flair, Hendricks never goes deeper inside X Games culture. The film is too insular and self-contained, as though those who are not already members of the party are not invited to attend.
Film Freak Central
Bill Chambers
Ultimate X is a commercial for the X-Games that undersells its own product by cutting to commentary from personnel in which they overstress that "we ain't seen nothin' yet." You start to wonder, If that's the case, why do you keep making me [watch]?
Jae-Ha Kim

Athletes have been paralyzed in gymnastics and football. And the dangers of boxing don't need to be explained. But there's nothing like the thrilling events at an X Games competition to make you wonder, "Why would anyone do that?"
KWQC-TV (Iowa)
Linda Cook
If you think that "ESPN's Ultimate X" is a motor oil, then you need to see this movie, dude.
Internet Reviews
Steve Rhodes
If you're an extreme sports fan, this is probably a must own DVD.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
The film contains so much eye-popping footage that even viewers who have never seen the X Games can't help but be fascinated.
Chicago Tribune
Robert K. Elder
Writer/director Bruce Hendricks subtracts from the experience by crafting a corporate propaganda film posing as a documentary.
Village Voice
Ed Halter
The format gets used best ... to capture the dizzying heights achieved by motocross and BMX riders, whose balletic hotdogging occasionally ends in bone-crushing screwups.
Boxoffice Magazine
Tim Cogshell
The film's 45-minute running time stops shy of overkill, though viewers may be more exhausted than the athletes onscreen.
New York Post
Megan Turner
Most of Ultimate X is comprised of truly exhilarating footage of men -- and one woman -- pushing their bodies and their nerve to the edge.
New York Times
Elvis Mitchell
Ultimate X is a ride, basically the kind of greatest-hits reel that might come with a subscription to ESPN the Magazine.
San Francisco Chronicle
Jonathan Curiel
Instead of a balanced film that explains the zeitgeist that is the X Games, we get a cinematic postcard that's superficial and unrealized.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
These self-styled athletes have banged their brains into the ground so frequently and furiously, their capacity to explain themselves has gone the same way as their natural instinct for self-preservation.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
For a film about action, Ultimate X is the gabbiest giant-screen movie ever, bogging down in a barrage of hype.
The Hollywood Reporter
Luke Sader
Provides a satisfactory overview of the bizarre world of extreme athletes as several daredevils express their own views.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
Transcends its agenda to deliver awe-inspiring, at times sublime, visuals and offer a fascinating glimpse into the subculture of extreme athletes whose derring-do puts the X into the games.
Dallas Morning News
Philip Wuntch
Great fun both for sports aficionados and for ordinary louts whose idea of exercise is climbing the steps of a stadium-seat megaplex.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Dan DeLuca
There's lots of cool stuff packed into ESPN's Ultimate X.
