Awesome...

Watching a concert film is typically something reserved for die-hard fans of that group. This is not the case with Awesome, I shot that. If you like music you probably will like this movie. If you like Hip Hop music, you will definitely love this movie. There are special guests too (like Doug E. Fresh) that will bring it back to the old school! The whole interactive idea of using the fans is brilliant. You get the sense that you are actually at the concert with all the movement - compared to a single shot fading into different angles of 4 cameras. Madison Square Garden practically goes nuts when they play their classics. The Beastie Boys once again prove that they are original, fresh and their music is ultimately better than anything in the todays rap game. All in all the movie keeps you on your toes and is always fun.
