Wonderful character development!
It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
I am a huge fan of AVA and was not disappointed in this creative documentary. Mainly told from Tom Delong's point of view, covering the break up of "blink", to the birth of Angles and Airwaves. Shows the music process for " Start the Machine" and the media problems Tom dealt with before the release of his album. It takes us behind the scenes with Atom Willard and how his drums are recorded. Also interviews with Matt and his take on the AVA project. Tom really does a good job explaining why he started the band and what his vision for the band was. Any AVA fan would find this film very interesting, includes music videos and performances also.
This is a very good documentary. For people who hate the band or those who love it or those who are just hearing about it for the first time. It is extremely honest & shows you just how hard the band works. It shows you how hard they are trying to get their message across & most importantly (for Blink 182 fans) it gives a deep insight into why Blink 182 is no more.The music videos, live performances & short films are all worth a watch. I really enjoyed this & i recommend it to anyone who has even the slightest interest in the band.Oh yeah, the band's commentary track is hilarious.
