Fittest on Earth: Retro/Active

If I could give a minus rating I would. The original movies are what got me into CrossFit. Not these bland boring attempts at movies. Even the music is a pile of dung.

Since Heber and Mars were forced out and their underling took over it's been a consistent downward spiral. Boo!!

Come on CrossFit HQ, take note of all the terrible ratings and feedback. Give your community what they want. CrossFit is amazing and fun and inspiring. This bland bowl of blah make it look the opposite.

Out with the current creative team and either go back to the originals that put you on the map or find some new talent.

I could keep ranting but I'm even bored writing about this. But not quite as bored as the movie I endured.

I've watched all the doc's about each CrossFit Games and this was by far the worst. There was so many great stories that could have been told about this year's games and they were all ignored. Brooke Wells coming back from injury which is the best story... nothing. They didn't even show the winners of each event. They only concentrated on a handful of competitors and disregarded the rest, even if they won events. I understand this was maybe Tia's final games but only speaking with her, O'Brien, and Horvath, Mederios, Khrennikov, and Garard took away from the documentary. They concentrated on those 6 competitors and not on the actually Games itself. I've loved all the doc's until this one. Very disappointed.

Despite stopping CrossFit personally a few years ago, I've watched, and continue to watch, every CrossFit documentary. I think they're fantastic promotional pieces for the sport, and encourage people into the gym and to give it a try. It's become a mini ritual to get a few ex-CrossFitters round and do a watch party.

This said, I completely agree with the other reviews that I've seen. This doco was SO poor from a story-telling perspective. There were ample sub-stories that it just didn't get into at all, and focused only on the final podium placers. One of the stories of the games was the sandbag ladder, and the doco didn't even talk about the 'drama' of when the new top bag was brought out.

Glad to hear that there is a new production company coming in for next year, but if you're considering watching this and you're a CF fan, don't. Save your money.

I honestly don't know I watch these year after year. Absolute garbage documentaries about the top 6 athletes with hardly a minute of footage of ANY of the other DOZENS of athletes at the games. So many great moments, stories and athletes completely ignored just to focus on CF's favorite top dogs. A true disappointment and a spit in the face to the other legendary athletes that pour their heart and soul into the games just to not even get 5 seconds of screentime in the OFFICAL DOCUMENTARY. Mind boggling. And this isn't a one off, it happens every year. Be better. DO better. Get rid of this production team and bring in a new team that can create a quality production. 0/0 stars.

This was so frustrating to watch that I didn't even finish it. They were very biased and mostly showed the men's events. When they did show parts of the women's events they wouldn't even show who ended up winning. So disappointing. It would've been so easy to continue flipping back and forth between the men's and women's event. So easy that it feels like an intentional oversight. Why wouldn't you show who won the women's event when you just finished showing the entire men's event? If they continue making these documentaries I hope they do better. Otherwise they'll continue losing their audience.
