Wonderful Movie

the audience applauded

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It's not easy to write a review on this documentary as it is absolutely awesome, but lacks something. Perhaps there isn't enough old footage available from band-birth.Oasis is a great band and their road to success marvelous and funny. The documentary is great but could have been broader, deeper and more detailed.For those not used to British accents, do download subtitles! You'll need them.Just hearing these 'lads' speak will make you laugh. I was wondering how such simpletons could drum up such deep and creative lyrics.Oasis is proof that one doesn't need to be a good singer, but have stage-presence, a f-all attitude and (possibly) a very very f'ed up character to become famous.

Oasis climbed to success at an amazing speed. They went from performing together for a few times to recording an album and gaining some fame and momentum, to recording a second album and becoming the biggest band on the planet. At their peak, they claimed to be better than the Beatles. Well, I don't know about that, but I guarantee that the legion of fans they had, that could have filled up a stadium 2 weeks in succession is not something to take jokingly. Either way, we are not here to discuss the quality of the band, but rather, the quality of the documentary. My opinion: the documentary is great, but I don't know if I am biased and that the cheer pleasure of seeing footage of one of my favorite bands makes me the worst person to give an opinion about it. Let's put it this way: unless you hate the Gallaghers, what you find in the documentary is guys with great personality, full of desire to enjoy life who became rock stars and lit up the world. I think that's a good enough reason to watch anything.

Being a die hard Oasis fan, I was supremely disappointed in this documentary. There are only voice-overs from the band and they sound very uninterested. It just about does the job to someone uninitiated, but not for anybody who even knows a little bit about the band. There are FAR more revealing, informative, candid, interesting and fascinating interviews and documentaries about Oasis (esp. Noel) that are extant. The Definitely Maybe 2004 documentary for instance...Just see how introspective that was. Relatively speaking, Supersonic 2016 is hogwash.The 'Lock the Box' interview from Stop The Clocks is a far more entertaining watch - A 40 minute EPK special that's one of their very best...that is way better than this.

I spent my teen years in the '90s and till today I'm still a huge fan of The X-Files, Arsenal FC, and my favorite band ever, OASIS, and so naturally I was geekin' out about this new docu about them, directed by Mat Whitecross. Brought to you by the producers of "Amy" and "Senna" OASIS: SUPERSONIC chronicles the incredible true story of the rise, reign, explosion and fall of the legendary rock band OASIS.Now, here's the thing, if you're as big a fan of theirs as I am, you'd already know their story by heart, how they came to be, their humble but happy beginning, what they did to make a living in their early years, how they got together as a band and how they eventually signed on to a recording deal. This really isn't anything new for us fans. But to those who don't know those details, OASIS: SUPERSONIC goes thorough and chronologically in presenting them. The film really really goes into the heart of it, it's authentic, it's magnetic, it draws you in and it covers every little detail, one after the other and it interviews every person directly involved during each specific moment.I may be mistaken but I don't believe this is the first docu that's ever made about OASIS, but it's definitely one that leaves no stone unturned. It's as definitive and as extensive as it gets. Especially with all the raw archival footage from the earl '90s when they were just a struggling band, that alone manages to transport a lot of us back through time, all of a sudden, nostalgia of things used to be just come rushing in like a floodgate had just been opened. It's fascinating when you look at the two brothers, Noel and Liam, because they have a peculiar way of showing sibling love to each other. Just like any other siblings, they too would fight, but I suppose it finally got to a point where they just had to part. But the combination of Noel Gallagher's songwriting talent and Liam's unique distinctive voice are the stuff that rock history is made of. You see their arc, the evolution of the band, their transition, their effort in adapting to the times, all covered in OASIS: SUPERSONIC, which is a must-see docu for us OASIS fans everywhere, it opens the door to one of all-time greatest rock bands.
