"Rockbusters 2 - When the Dust Settles" Review

General Overview

The sequel to 1995's "Rockbusters", Rockbusters 2 - "When the Dust settles" (RB2) boldly goes where RB1 went before. In some cases, literally. There is some great high speed, high action footage to be had here, quick interviews with desert racing superstar Robby Gordon and others, and some computer graphics (morphing) for artistic value.

Highlights

  • Great camera angles
  • Airborne action
  • 3 wheel cornering
  • Nerfing / Passing shots
  • Buggies and other classes join the Trophy Trucks in this installment.
  • Commentary from Ivan Stewart, Robby Gordon, and Walker Evans
  • "In car" camera shots

The Verdict - 2

So Whats the problem? Simple. RB2 doesn't really "add" to what was done in part 1. The video is only 30 min long and yet repeats the reuse of footage that plagued the first. In fact, the Walker evans "interview" is indistinguishable from it's counterpart in RB1. This is by no means a "bad" video, and I wouldn't say avoid it, but be aware that for $20.00, another 1/2 hour of trucks and buggies would have added worlds to it's value.
