Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This should be in the film hall of fame for the technical brilliance it bought to the genre. Amazing watch from start to end.

Louis Aimé Le Prince introduces us the very first film in history (at least according to the books). What we see are just some people jogging around in a garden for a couple of seconds...And a couple of seconds were enough to make history. To inspire a young and humble future filmmaker, whose work inspired another, and another, and so on. To create a new form of art.More than the recorded pictures, this work must be appreciated by its importance for the new art that was born, and more than 125 years later became one of the most powerful vehicles to transmit messages, ideas and feelings.A landmark!

Released in 1888 heavily edited. Originally 5 seconds long and included lot's of gore and explicit sex, but due to the threat of an X-rating from the British Board of Film Censors (BBFC), the director cut it down to 2 seconds so it could be released as PG-13.Because it premiered around the same time as "Traffic Crossing Leeds Bridge" which was the blockbuster of the year it did poorly at the box offices and the movie quickly went to 4K3D Blu-ray.Only in recent years have it started to get the attention it deserves.Due to Louis Aimé Augustin Le Prince directing both movies he still got the money back for "Roundhay Garden Scene" but got so disarrayed because his original vision wasn't being shown to the public.He made a couple of independent movies called "Man Walking Around the Corner" and "Accordion Player" before he retired and leaved all the fame and Hollywood promises behind.The uncut version is still missing.

No words can describe it. Incredible.All "movie fans" HAVE to see this, to keep watching movies, IMHO. If you can't even spare 2 seconds to watch the film that started the modern medias you cherish dearly today, or if you do watch it and do not even like it, with all due respect, never allow yourself to watch a film ever again.And you'd better run on here and give it a 10 out of 10 rating, because if you like movies(everyone does) it is YOUR obligation.Now, on a humorous note, a brief summary(gonna be hard to do this, after all it has such a long running length): Out in the garden of the Whitley family house in Oakwood Grange Road, Roundhay, a suburb of Leeds, Yorkshire was a family. A most peculiar family, if you ask me. For a frame, all is happy.Then at the end of the epic First Act, an entire second into the picture(a whole second! Eek!"), we are confronted with a horrid conflict: our leading lady struggles to turn her legs as to turn around. After two frames of a long saga that is the Second Act, she soon looks upon the people around her, laughs, and remembers once again the ancient art of walking. Act Two has finished, Act Three dawns. For this entire couple of frames, we see the man that had been distracting her from walking all along about to pass her by...MWWUUUHHHAAAAHHHHA......Hehe! It's brilliant. Something so simple has become so influential. Le Prince would never have thought once what these animated strips of film would become later on...if only he could see film now. Would he like the Kingdom of Hollywood, or scream in terror upon learning what evil it has become?
