develops my appreciation

I don't follow extreme sports and I'm in the over-fifty crowd. But I came away from Ultimate X with increased respect for what they do, even if it also reinforced my notion that Americans place too much emphasis on sports and entertainment. Here's one viewer who thinks that this is just the right length and who wishes that I'd seen in on a big screen. (Now they're showing it on TV.) In my opinion, this highlights-style documentary contains above-average pictures, sound and interviews, and provides an interesting introduction to, and insight into the cream of this crop. I would have liked to have known more about the scoring, but, absent that, I assume that it's predominantly subjective, boring and not appropriate on film.
