my buddy Ulrik just finished a video in which he followed group of traceurs around.  it's more plain and less spectacular, but that's how traceurs train and how they live.

I saw this movie back in December and it's terrible. I love parkour, but it's only really showcased in the first ten minutes of the film, and even then, it's not much better than the short films and commercials you can find online.

its funny.  i had downloaded this months ago after reading a few interesting blurbs about it and never got around to watching it.  but i had just finally deleted it off my computer a day or two before this thread popped up again.
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

that poster looks like a video game box.


...which i guess nails the target audience.

I just got back from this and it's probably the best thing in theaters right now*... which says absolutely NOTHING for the movie, but it's certainly worth watching.
It's main drawback is there isn't enough stunt-work to keep the movie strong and the final fight-scene is a let down.  Fortunately, the rest of the movie isn't completely unbearable (unless you're just stuck-up and can't let go and enjoy stuff like this**) and the stunt work that it DOES feature is pretty damned impressive.
It also features "Resistant" by Iron Sy which is being played over and over on my iTunes.




edit:
*okay, I just checked the listings and United 93 is still showing, so I guess a very distant second best.
**Just noticed Ghostboy didn't like it... this isn't a dig at him
