Extremedays

I just watched this movie, and I have to say it is one of those "must see" movies. I'm a Christian, and I was pleased to see a movie with an all-Christian soundtrack. Also, I was pleased that this movie had a positive story, but wasn't too preachy. Anyone who's been a Christian for a while knows how it is usually.....it seems as if everything is an outreach attempt. This movie isn't tho. It's made so anyone (even those who aren't religious) will enjoy it.

While this movie has its set backs, being poor filming and sometimes sketchy acting, for the first time in the past 5 years I have seen a movie that has interested me and does not have a rating above PG. This movie encompasses a variety of extreme sports, hence the name, but the characters all have sound moral principles and even stronger values.

This is definitely a movie for your youth group, or a group of friends who want to see a decent movie that actually has no drugs, sex, violence, or profanity in it. This movie strays away from the social norm of today and is based on good hearted comedy and viewing that is safe for the WHOLE family.

I think many directors should take head of the minority who wants good wholesome movies that have an awesome plot as well. I mean is cursing really a requirement? Well in Extreme days it isn't and the movie is better for it.

For anyone who intends to, but hasn't yet seen this film - you're in for a real treat. The movie is great. When I first saw the trailer for the film, I thought - "This is fantastic! Its about time someone made a Christian movie about young people doing amazing things in extreme sports." I just thought that was so cool, and I would say to myself - "Finally, people are going to learn, seeing with their own eyes, what it truly means to live life to the fullest, realizing just how extreme Christianity is." Now that I've seen the movie, I'm thinking that I may have been right all along. People who aren't Christians are going to see this movie, and come out of the theater with their minds broadened, having learned that there are things in this world worth living for, and that there is absolutely no reason why anyone should feel that their life is so terrible that the only way out is death. At least, that's what I'm hoping people will get from seeing this movie. In any case, I highly recommend this film to people of all ages, especially those who enjoy watching young people take part in extreme sports such as motorcycling, surfing, and snow boarding.

"Would you like a falafel with that?" -the quote I can't go a day without throwing in a conversation.

Extreme Days is one of those rare movie treats that allows for Christian morals and values to be openly discussed among a youthful generation. Its something youth groups and definitely parents of Christian children will appreciate, there is no cursing, sexual orientation or profanity. Very refreshing!!

As a Christain and a teenager, this film really relates to my daily life. While non-Christians tend to think of us as well adjusted and behaved individuals, Extreme Days presents us as we are. Full of life, energetic, at times reckless, passionate, emotional and adventurous. After all; LIFE'S A TRIP.

I would recommend this film to anyone seeking answers about truth, love, having faith and a life with God. A truly worthwhile experience

May God bless your heart and be with you wherever you go:)

P.S. My best friend is as crazy (if not more) as Matt, love you bro!

I liked this movie: yes I was raised in the church, yes I was (and still am) a huge fan of the Christian alternative music genres, yes I do believe in God, and yes I'm not living with my parents anymore. That being said, growing up in the church, the usual activities and such offered to kids and teens were just plain pathetic. They lacked the element of cool that all kids thirst for and can't get enough of. So it's no surprise that a lot of kids and teens in the church and youth groups now still love this movie. It wasn't some Cheap barney with bible verses rip off or corny, poorly acted, "it could happen to you-Jesus loves everybody" films they push on kids all the time. It was funny, killer music, decent quality of film and film-making and extreme sports footage that kids will watch back to back to back until they can't stay awake anymore. I know the sports footage wasn't really them, but I never expected them to really do their own stunts. Can any actor really act and execute a darkslide with equal skill? This movie was a hope to teens and kids who thought Christian life and faith in God meant you had to be boring and uncool. Not stellar, but worth a weekend rental.
