Movie Reviews of VNV Nation: PastPerfect (Special Edition)
Movie Review: disappointed
Summary: 2 Stars
Let me start by saying I am a *huge* VNV fan. I attended the DC show where a portion of this was shot. And I was at the VNV/Apop show earlier that year when Apop cancelled at the last minute. And it saddens me to have to say...as far as production quality goes, this DVD is excellent. However, as a "live" DVD, it's awful. As a previous reviewer stated, the video clips are a mishmash. S/He liked the technique, I don't. A single song has one audio clip (live from say, NY for example) while the video may come from half a dozen sources. One shot the band may be in a dark club in front of 200 fans, while a second later, they're shown on stage in the rain in front of 20,000 fans. I don't like it at all. It is reminiscent of a Motley Crue video from the 80s (what was that ballad with the piano?). Also, it leads to the audio not synching with the video, typically during Ronan's banter in the middle of songs. Example: Ronan may be saying "Give me your hands!" while the video is showing him standing in the rain with both hands (and mic) raised (in slow motion no less). Yuck. I would have much preferred a whole song with it's original video. You can pick "song a" from NY, "song b" from DC, "song c" from Philly if you want, but don't pick snippet by snippet from all over the world with an audio track that only mostly matches.I haven't gotten into the second DVD or the CDROM, but I'm sure both of those will be great (since I doubt the can pull the same technique with them).
