Supersonic Audience Reviews

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
matthijsalexander It's not easy to write a review on this documentary as it is absolutely awesome, but lacks something. Perhaps there isn't enough old footage available from band-birth.Oasis is a great band and their road to success marvelous and funny. The documentary is great but could have been broader, deeper and more detailed.For those not used to British accents, do download subtitles! You'll need them.Just hearing these 'lads' speak will make you laugh. I was wondering how such simpletons could drum up such deep and creative lyrics.Oasis is proof that one doesn't need to be a good singer, but have stage-presence, a f-all attitude and (possibly) a very very f'ed up character to become famous.
tomosp1965 Watching this documentary/film, was like I had travelled back to 1994 and watched the next two years in a Meth induced rush. The only difference being, this time I actually was able to take it in and reflect on what a great time it was to be alive. I loved their first single/album and every subsequent single/album after that, why? Because I was carried along on the hype and the fantastic music. Liam and Noel, or should I say Noel and Liam? They created history and without really setting out with that intention, became the greatest band of the last 50 years. Life sometimes has twists, it does something that is the least expected thing you or anyone else thought would happen, then bang, nothing is the same afterwards. To be in a certain place at a certain time, purely by luck, plus to have a record company boss in the audience, well that's what I mean. Noels songwriting is the key to the success, but Liams vocals where also crucial. This film shows the rise of Oasis, from humble beginnings to becoming the greatest rock n' roll band of a generation. Their journey was like a person being at the best fireworks display ever, but with too much drink or drugs in their system. You see lots of lights, hear lots of bangs and get a bit over excited, and afterwards you say, "What the hell happened?" Then spend the next few years asking if you were really there at all! The relationship between the brothers was ultimately their downfall, but at least their music will still be around for future generations to listen to.This film takes you through the two years from 'Definitely Maybe' being released, to the few months after 'What's the Story Morning Glory hit the shops and the massive Knebworth gigs.Its an honest film and the views of all the people involved is given.Loved it. 10/10
santiagocosme Oasis climbed to success at an amazing speed. They went from performing together for a few times to recording an album and gaining some fame and momentum, to recording a second album and becoming the biggest band on the planet. At their peak, they claimed to be better than the Beatles. Well, I don't know about that, but I guarantee that the legion of fans they had, that could have filled up a stadium 2 weeks in succession is not something to take jokingly. Either way, we are not here to discuss the quality of the band, but rather, the quality of the documentary. My opinion: the documentary is great, but I don't know if I am biased and that the cheer pleasure of seeing footage of one of my favorite bands makes me the worst person to give an opinion about it. Let's put it this way: unless you hate the Gallaghers, what you find in the documentary is guys with great personality, full of desire to enjoy life who became rock stars and lit up the world. I think that's a good enough reason to watch anything.
darshan-naveen Being a die hard Oasis fan, I was supremely disappointed in this documentary. There are only voice-overs from the band and they sound very uninterested. It just about does the job to someone uninitiated, but not for anybody who even knows a little bit about the band. There are FAR more revealing, informative, candid, interesting and fascinating interviews and documentaries about Oasis (esp. Noel) that are extant. The Definitely Maybe 2004 documentary for instance...Just see how introspective that was. Relatively speaking, Supersonic 2016 is hogwash.The 'Lock the Box' interview from Stop The Clocks is a far more entertaining watch - A 40 minute EPK special that's one of their very best...that is way better than this.
