The Weathered Underground Trailers

A Groundbreaking interactive DVD that plays like a video version of the "Choose Your Own Adventure Books" as the story follows 21 Year old Eric (the character whom the audience makes choices for) as he deals with a skull crunching breakup. Eric is a struggling musician who works a side job and just broke up with the greatest love of his life, the somewhat insane yet adorable Liz (Brea Grant, Heroes, H2). Now you, the viewer, must guide Eric through one insane evening with Criminals, Drugs and Damsels while deciding whether Eric will win back the love of his life or crumble into Moral Decay... His fate is now in your hands... The Weathered Underground allows the viewer via remote control or mouse (online) to control the story ultimately choosing a story of redemption or debauchery. Featuring over 30 different endings and 1,000 choices. The film can be played/viewed for up to four hours, over and over without getting the same plot line!

I gave it ten stars simply for it's originality. I could see how some would hate it. As matter of fact, several of us sat around watching and my cousin was so annoyed that he left the room. But I think it was because his girlfriend thought the lead actor was cute. It is somewhat offensive in the way that south park might be to some conservatives. But it's very smart too. You can tell it was made with very little money but it looks so cool and unique that you don't really care. If anything, I thought it was endearing.And sooooooo funny. I couldn't stop playing the thing. Really addictive. I read that it's coming out on ipod and I'll be the first in line damnit.It's not like other pictures, which will probably mean that you will either love it or hate. But let's be honest, what Kubrick film got a good review when it first came out? Very few. Most got trashed. Or Pink Flamingos? Or Araki? These films got trashed by half the people that saw them because they dared to do things that other movies had never done. The Weathered Underground is daring, at times provocative, and honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if this weird little interactive movie ends up becoming a cult classic. Kudos to the filmmakers. You've done something that I liked. And I generally hate everything.

"Fun and entertaining choose-your-own-adventure movie from the writer of "Parzania." I was skeptical about this DVD, and was ultimately surprised by how much fun I had. It's about time somebody did something like this. It's a nightlife adventure, full of unexpected twists and turns. I can imagine having a lot of fun in a group setting, even by myself I was shouting out my choices.The myriad stories all hold together surprisingly well. The controls are all easy to use. I highly recommend The Weathered Undergournd, it's a lot of fun."

Not bad at all. Really funny with some great performances. It has a cool look to it too. So far I've only played once for about an hour and a half and I got to see a lot of different stories. I don't know what would be considered a spoiler on here as there are so many different little short stories I don't know what I'd be giving away but it has lots of action and a very really unexpected heart felt moments. In one plot he ends up falling for a Mormon girl which I would have never expected to be in a film filled with so much chaos. I liked getting to make choices in a movie with live actors. I wasn';t sure if it would be annoying or cool and it turned out to be really cool and funny. However, please, please... When you go to the club, don't pick the blond. Uhg...

I just got this disc in netflix after seeing a trailer on youtube. I thought it would be cool and was always hoping someone would make a choose your own adventure type film, because I was obsessed with the books. But The Weathered Underground is more than a just an interactive film. It's a really, really funny interactive film. We were addicted. It just gets funnier and funnier the further you watch. What surprised me most about this movie though, was that it actually has a lot of depth to it.The voice overs aren't just hilarious, but very honest and true statements about the world that we live in. There's a lot of warmth and humanity that runs through out all of the dark and jaded short stories that make up The Weathered Underground. After seeing the trailer I figured it would probably be fun. After watching the DVD, I'm convinced that these guys are geniuses.
