SENSORY OVERLOAD

This is an important 2sec. scene that's it.

This is nothing more than amateur home video footage, therefore one must rate the scientific breakthrough of this experiment, which is not the point of this website. If there is ever a "Criticker" for technological inventions then this is where Roundhay Garden Scene will belong.

Well, it's the first film anyone ever made, and it only wasted two seconds of my time, so I can't very well call it "bad" or even "mediocre", can I?

Score out of respect for historical significance only.

Party!

It's too damn long. Seriously though, it is quite interesting from a historical perspective and without it there would be no Citizen Kane, no The Red Shoes, no Chungking Express. Then again without it we wouldn't have to endure the very existence of Pearl Harbour, Sweet Charity and The Butterfly Effect so maybe it isn't so great...

can't really put a score to it. Giving it a 50 just because of the clips history, and how it plays in the history of film.

This is a 2 second recording which feature 4 people going around in a circle. I must say I do not know what I expected even though I had read a summary before-hand. So if you, Andreas, are leet enough to get this clip, be my guest, but know that this is how I will beat you........, bitch. (Or you could just watch the trailer)

I'll give it 10 points as a nod of respect to its place in history

In my opinion this "kind of film" shouldn't be here. It's just a 2sec family moment captured by an old camera!!! These moments have only historical value and nothing else...

Action... cut! That's a wrap, people!

A point per second! It really could've been a masterpiece if it was a bit longer.

Ambiguous tale that portrays the upper-class with a naturalistic tone, filmed from a vicarious point of view, perhaps considering the voyeuristic sensibilities of itself and any film released after it. But it's technically ruined by a shoddy aspect ratio error.

Wow.People in the 19th century were groovy! Being the racist, dignified, badass mothafucka's they were!

Deserves few points for being historically important, I guess. 26.2.2011

As a lover of film I feel it's important that I watched this. The start of a fine art form.

This is impossible to score. You can't really dislike it, but it's not really something you can like, so I'm going to give it a 75.

I guess the world's earliest surviving motion picture, however short and hence otherwise inappreciable, does deserve at least a 50 for Le Prince's pioneering mind.

Impossible to score really; however, as it is the first film ever, has a fascinating backstory, and was made in Leeds, I think a 90 is required.

4 beautiful frames. mmmmmmmm yeah

Still waiting for the sequel to come out.

only of value in it's historical importance, but that's not the stuff of great movies.

Sure, it's less than 10 seconds long. But it's the first film. And that is amazing. 100 all the way.

How innovative.

The first movie ever made. Wow. Cool seeing people from the 1880's is very amazing but its only 2 seconds. In my opinion, impossible to rate.

Represent, yo.

The first film in history, etc. Let me express my excitement. By all means, this can barely be considered a film, more of a cientific event - which is why I don't really think there's a possible way to rate it. Why did I? Fuck you.

The only film that has ever, at some point in time, been the indisputably greatest film of all time.

No score can really do justice to both it's historical importance and the fact that it's its only interesting aspect. It's only a few seconds so just watch it and experience history.

Interesting for its historical importance I guess, and it's barely 2 seconds long so you might as well watch it:

First film ever. Only given a 45 out of respect for history.

I see dead people!!!!!

And it all started.

THE WORLD'S FIRST MOVIE. Fascinating just for that reason

An erotically charged action thrill ride.

epic

First film!

Mmm, I love the sight of film history.

I've seen this film like 15 times.

And so it began...
