Warning: there is eating of worms

Storyline/Characters/Comedy/Performances: now including the pacing and on-screen chemistry these five components go hand-in-hand in one way or another in this project.

This film is either one big cliché or if you would like many cliché components; be it the storyline being really cheesy, the pacing being fundamentally sound or the character developments being terribly executed which in turn made the performances [minus Katie Brinker/Volding she brings the comical moments there are in dialogue exchanges; these are the only comedy elements worth mentioning the rest are best described as the kind of material that you expect from this kind of project,] but other than that they are; what they are; I mean if this is what they were going for; well done, which no surprise in turn made the on-screen chemistry cheesy; basically what we have here is a knock on effect of cheese on top of cheese on top of cheese.

Action/Art: these two components go hand-in-hand; it is where we have these skaters pulling off these stunts, racing including a little bit combat and racing at the same time.

Action individually; there is training and racing

Art individually; there is this waterfall as the Soul Skaters are on their way to this Skate Park and speaking of this Skate Park there is this art on this wall which is really eye-catching [you will pick up on it if or when you watch this film] and whilst we are in this location as the evening sets in the sky and clouds have this orange effect; this is all good.

This film receives: 2/10, this film is poor; I mean there isn't anything majorly wrong with this film, but it would of really helped the situation if it didn't heavily revolve around its cliché or cliché components; meaning this film would have done so, so much better if it drifted along with its cliché or clichés, I mean there is a small moment towards the later stages where they loosen up their grip on the cliché so much so it doesn't feel so stamped on your forehead, there was a moment where I was contemplating on giving this film a higher mark [mind you not too much higher but higher nonetheless] and then it just collapsed quickly back into what it was; if you're into extreme sports you may find greater value in this project, but I wouldn't expect too much either way to be fair.

On a quick side note; this film is starring David Graf as Ralph Brinker; he is a legendary member of the Police Academy films as Eugene Tackleberry [his rankings are from Cadet to Captain] and Walter Jones as Boomer; he is likewise a legendary member but of the first generation of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as Zack Taylor/The Black Power Ranger.
