Far too short and far too expensive. this feels like a tech demo and a cash grab. There are a few interviews that are worth listening to, but then you could just go on Youtube and find similar content. I feel like an idiot for spending money on what I thought would be a fleshed out and content rich documentary experience. In its defence you may find the this a good introduction to stereoscopic spherical cinema and the film does attempt to use 3d assets in a traditional VR setting.

It's a total waste of money. Not only it is short, but the audio not sync with the pictures. Besides, I've seen way better stereo videos free from oculus share, this is a good try, but failed. That's why it should charge like one buck as a complimentary experiment instead of a 11 buck movie price. I'm totally disappointed.

What a pile of cash grabbing turd! This is far too expensive for the very short duration that is offered. This should be offered as nothing more than a tech demo, shown at shows to gather interest for VR. To sell it at a premium for people hungry for all things VR is a complete sham. There wasn't much I enjoyed but the Buffalo were brilliant. Other than that, pretty poor.

Title is misleading. It's a short demo, not a film as advertised. Totally disappointed.

Nice enough demo/experience - shows what good stereoscopic recording of the real world can look like, but also exposes the limitations of the current display tech moreso than computer generated images do. Not worth $15 (or even $12) considering some great free demos available, but it does show what is possible beyond gaming.

Dissappointed
The demo is better.

If you are very interested in VR and want to get your hands on everything available that has value, then this is worth buying. Otherwise, no,

$5 is a perfect price for this. Great way to catch up those who haven't been following VR very closely the past few years. Going to use as a demo for some VRgins. +1 for optional higher-res DLC.

Didn't follow the other review's advice and bought it anyways. ABSOLUTE waste of money. The demo is much more entertaining than the video. Essentially its 15 minutes of people talking and most of it isn't even three dimensional, but rather 2d slapped together from different projects.

Save your money and don't waste it here...

I bought the program because I saw the demo, found the buffalos absolutely wonderful and bought it to have a nice demo to introduce people to VR movies possiblilities.
Actually I want the demo back (I have no idea how to re-install the demo in Steam once the procucct is purchased, even after uninstall all I can do ist reinstall the complete program). The demo is much better suited to introduce someone first time to VR than the actual product is--much better.
Who decided to put a war simulation as ione of the first scenes? For most people this is disturbing and not a good start into VR.
And why is there to way to jump to the next scene? That is probably the most annoying part of it, you cannot fastforward or skip a scene.
So, this program is quite a disappointent after all. I did not expect a VR movie or anything, just a nice introduction into the possibilities of VR films.
Stick with the demo, it is better suited for that unfortunately.

Great until the video starts.

The intro is great but as soon as the video starts it is so out of sync it is unwatchable.

Kids in their bedrooms can get this right so it is alarming that something with this level of backing can get it so wrong.

You may want a word with Jason from MaxVR - he'll fix it.

Unfortunately, even after the update, the audio lags almost a full minute behind the video. I wouldn't be so bitter about it, if it had been the same in the demo. But in the demo, it works perfectly. I feel slightly jipped.

I found this experience to be about 85% 'meh'.

There are a few cool shots/experiences, and one absoultey amazing sequence featuring a herd of Bison, but the rest is pretty sub-par. When the 3D video is solid, the 360 degree experience is lacking, and when there's a great 360 video, the 3D is barely there.

If this ever gets discounted to <$5 I'd consider reccomending it, but at the current price, it's very skippable.

Extremely disappointed. The video quality was by far the worst I've seen on the Oculus. Horribly blurry for 90% of the entire 15 minutes. I've seen plenty of 360 3D free amateur demos with 100 times better quality. I would never play this to show off the Oculus to anyone. And for the price they charged a complete rip off.

Spending 11 € is was to much money for that short experience. And its a Discount price from Steam (20%). Normaly it would cost 13,99 € :-O. Its not more than a Trailer with short seqences of places and interviews. How ever, even if buying this "Movie" was wasted money, i believe in the future of 360° Movies.

My conclusion:
You saw the 2 Minutes Demo of this movie? Nice experience, but thats enough. You dont need to buy the "Movie". And hey, i mean 15 Minutes for 11 €? Thats Cuánto dinero. Would be ok if the Movie would have some special scenes with a "WOW" effect. Just my meaning.

It's all very interesting and cool and awesome. But not all of it is. Some parts are downright boring. But that's cool too, because I'm interested. And I like documentries... where people talk and talk and talk .... and then something happens that's minutely interesting .... and then more talking. Kinda distracts the awesomeness of the visuals. I wish there was a directors cut where they cut out all the voiceovers.

When it comes to VR, I really don't care about what life would be like 20 years from now... I'd rather immerse myself in the virtual reality of *now*.... without someone breathing down my neck about 2035 and whether it will fit in with our post-real neo-simplistic social cloud-based pseudo lives that we are already living in.

What gets me "steamed" is that fact that once you buy the movie, you can no longer play the demo version. And when I want to "show off" to my real life friends and show them Zero Point... I have to sit and wait for the whole thing to play out... I'd rather just show them the 2 minute demo (Which has all the goods part BTW), and then "show off" some other cool aspect of VR that are on steam.

Even at sale price, the demo is better. I wish I could "Un-Buy"... oh hum. This would be better served to us plebs as a rental.

Hard to recommend this. Really just a collection of videos, some 360 some just projected on surfaces much like any VR video player would do. Some 360 scenes are better than others, but they all suffer from low quality. Some have a good sense of 3d whereas some seem to be just projected onto a sphere.

I wouldn't mind so much if there was a compelling narrative, but there really isn't anything apart from sound clips from Palmer etc explaining VR.

I really like to encourage any VR titles as this is really the time to try lots of different ideas, but this would have to be a much bigger cohesive package to be worth the money.

Know what you are buying before actually buying it.

It's important to see this short film more as a tech demo to show what film in VR can be capable of.
It's a short, roughly 20 minute or so documentary that really just serves to show a lot of neat different scenarios captured on film to immerse you into the experience.

The film is primarily just some guys in the industry talking about how big VR can become and its incredible possibilities while several different scenarios and scenes are gone through during the short running time. There isn't really any connection at all to the different scenes you are put into throughout the documentary, however if that doesn't bother you then enjoy the ride! If anything, their random nature is to help prove the point that the guys are saying about how many endless possibilites there are for VR to have.

Some scenes stand out more than others, and honestly some of them can be truly fascinating. One scene in particular made me feel incredibly present in the setting, and really pretty uncomfortable (in a good way, haha!).

All-in-all, if you're going to buy it then just make sure to know beforehand that this is more like a tech demo for what film in VR can be, and that this ultimately proves that there is a very bright and exciting future ahead for that. If you go into this with that knowledge I really believe you'll find this to be a great, enjoyable, and fascinating experience. There is some really great material in this short film, and even with its slightly pricey tag, I'd recommend it to VR users looking for a really neat and new experience.

Too bad I can't sell this on eBay later.
