Rammstein: Paris (2017 Video)
6/10
Great live act, but dumbed down

Rammstein is perhaps one of the greatest rock acts to ever hit a stage. Their performance is a hard hitting, high energy audiovisual punch to your senses. I expected Paris to capture some of this magic, however in my opinion it does not. Paris sounds great and captures the massive sound of Rammstein, but when it comes to the visuals it is a huge disappointment.

The editing feels unprofessional. There are some great shots of the band and the stage, but the rapid clips makes it impossible to truly enjoy any of them. The fill ins with surveillance style black high contrast footage is just annoying and makes it feel..stupid. The terrible CGI shots with lizard eyes and tongue etc is just embarrassing and the visual style for the titles of each songs feels like something made for a really, really low-cost TV production for kids.

If I was to judge this for the visuals, I'd give it 3 out of 10. However the Rammstein sounds great and pulls of a great show. So it's a 6 out of 10.

I'd really would like to see a non-retarded, Non-epileptic seizure edit of this. When it comes to showing a good live performance I prefer the more "standard" approach to it, where the point is to capture and showcase the show. Not dumb it down.
