I know I am late to the party but I watched it for the first time this weekend. I thought it was an interesting look into urban explorers.

1. Why spend so much time in a sewer? Not much to see or do besides avoiding shitsicles.

2. If you don't take stuff, why is your apartment full of old signage? lol.

I really enjoyed the look at the NASA rocket, those guys had balls to climb down there. Xanado house was awesome as well. I wish they made a series of these movies to check out places that no longer exist today.

Compared to the Crack the Surface videos, it's sesame street to breaking bad.

Great, if I recall. Must re-watch. One of the few well-done urbex documentaries along with CTS and Undercity.

It's a classic. Good for remembering the way exploring was in the mid 2000s (and should still be but that's a whole other matter), bad for an introduction to new explorers or anything representative of where we are now...

The documentary has a LOT of weakness, from uneven pacing, to messy focus of the narrative, to the documentarian trying to make "characters" out of some explorers interviewed. Had the documentary narrowed the focus instead of vainly trying to cover "everything", it might've been a bit better.

That said, however...

It's a fantastic time capsule glimpse at where our community was circa 2003-2005.

There are a lot of familiar faces in the video who I never see anymore, but who were extremely active at the time.

There are also a lot of familiar faces in the video who I still see all the time.

A lot of locations shown in the video no longer exist, which is another reason this documentary is such a beautiful nostalgia trip.

Despite my criticisms of the film, I have a lot of love for it, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it for anyone in this hobby looking for something to watch. As long as your expectations aren't too high, it can be a fun way to pass the time.

Yes, stay out of the sewers. There is definitely nothing interesting in the sewers.
