Very much like an infomercial. Go to Full Review

3/5
Though not a great documentary and essentially a colorful, 3D commercial for Electric Daisy Carnival, it works as both an introduction to a subculture many may be unfamiliar with and as a beat-heavy scrapbook for those who were there. Go to Full Review

EDC has made headlines with fatal overdoses, so you'd think directors Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz would examine the role Molly and related drugs play here. But the topic is mentioned only fleetingly. Go to Full Review

Under the Electric Sky could have been a genuinely interesting social-anthropological documentary. Instead it's a glittery exercise in masturbation. Go to Full Review

B-
"Under The Electric Sky" does a great job of showing the appeal of EDM, and can be an occasionally thrilling document of the musicians who create these infections beats. But on a human level, well, it could have used some more electric participants. Go to Full Review

Geovanny T Oct 10 This documentary shows the true meaning of Peace Love Unity and Respect. Shows you all the types of people who go these events and showcases the beauty of EDM and all it’s beautiful art. Although, raving has changed in a completely different way because people just go for the hype, this documentary shows you the true people who loved these events were always frowned upon by society and always made you feel like you were weird but weird is normal for us and raves tells us we’re not and comforts us. If you’re someone new getting into raves, please watch this and understand the true meanings of these events from utopia. See more 06/04/2021 Makes me miss EDC! Can't wait to be back! See more 12/25/2016 I honestly think this movie is such a sad excuse for a "documentary". Being a raver myself, I see so much potential in writing an engaging and culturally stimulating movie about rave. But sadly, we only have this poorly disguised infomercial and a very bad Netflix original movie. I'm writing a movie about rave that is way more in depth and it spans across all aspects - drug use, crime, gangs, rich party kids, Las Vegas high rollers, and a look into ideas about morality. I poured my heart into this script and I'm hoping that somebody would like to see it. Hmu See more 07/12/2015 Inspired me to go to EDC LV considering it's purely epic. If you're really into EDM I'd recommend this for sure! Try and watch it all at once and not attempt to find the amazing tracks in the movie until the second time you watch it. See more 05/24/2015 More like an informercial than a documentary, but still worth watching if you like electronic music See more ken k 05/14/2015 Eye candy at it's most effective beauty but with a bit more effort on the back stories this could have been a 21st century "Woodstock"! I am very surprised the producers could not see more story line in the folks chosen whose eyes we see the event through. Good choices but not long enough line to catch the BIG FISH here. Still worth the price of admission to see this amazing event on Blu Ray. 3D would have really topped it off! See more Read all reviews
