Nitro Circus : The Movie (2012) 5/10

Starring : Travis Pastrana, Jolene Van Vugt, Tommy Passemante, Jim DeChamp
Director : Greg Godfrey & Jeremy Rawle
Running Time : 92 mins

The crew from the NitroCircus stunt crew jump to the big screen, performing some more elaborate stunts such as a looping-the-loop in a wheelchair, bike ramp jumping, performing jumps in a semi truck, water skiing off riding a speedboat through flames, riding bikes off high rise rooftops, rolling rally cars and jet skiing into oblivion.

This felt pretty put on, and none of the stunt accidents felt real, even though one of the crew apparently did damage their back. Interspersed with interviews with celebrities and their peers – including Johnny Knoxville of Jackass fame – this might appeal to people who were fans of the TV show, but this is basically a long episode of the show with some 3D effects that aren’t that impressive. Think of a really boring repetitive episode of Mythbusters that goes on for ninety minutes, and you’ve pretty much got the gist of this movie.
