I like oasis as much as i like cant belive its not butter
seen them live in a few countries and as a live band average to poor
but on the albums average to good
but lets faceit they are the poor mans bootleg beatles not original,slightly tacky and incredibably embarassing.the doco was good but made it even more obvious these people have very limited talent and really should just be throwing tyres around for a living.
this documentary is good to have on in the background while you do other things as the people involved and the whole story is not very interesting

I spent my teen years in the '90s and till today I'm still a huge fan of The X-Files, Arsenal FC, and my favorite band ever, OASIS, and so naturally I was geekin' out about this new docu about them, directed by Mat Whitecross. Brought to you by the producers of "Amy" and "Senna" OASIS: SUPERSONIC chronicles the incredible true story of the rise, reign, explosion and fall of the legendary rock band OASIS.Now, here's the thing, if you're as big a fan of theirs as I am, you'd already know their story by heart, how they came to be, their humble but happy beginning, what they did to make a living in their early years, how they got together as a band and how they eventually signed on to a recording deal. This really isn't anything new for us fans. But to those who don't know those details, OASIS: SUPERSONIC goes thorough and chronologically in presenting them. The film really really goes into the heart of it, it's authentic, it's magnetic, it draws you in and it covers every little detail, one after the other and it interviews every person directly involved during each specific moment.I may be mistaken but I don't believe this is the first docu that's ever made about OASIS, but it's definitely one that leaves no stone unturned. It's as definitive and as extensive as it gets. Especially with all the raw archival footage from the earl '90s when they were just a struggling band, that alone manages to transport a lot of us back through time, all of a sudden, nostalgia of things used to be just come rushing in like a floodgate had just been opened. It's fascinating when you look at the two brothers, Noel and Liam, because they have a peculiar way of showing sibling love to each other. Just like any other siblings, they too would fight, but I suppose it finally got to a point where they just had to part. But the combination of Noel Gallagher's songwriting talent and Liam's unique distinctive voice are the stuff that rock history is made of. You see their arc, the evolution of the band, their transition, their effort in adapting to the times, all covered in OASIS: SUPERSONIC, which is a must-see docu for us OASIS fans everywhere, it opens the door to one of all-time greatest rock bands. A24 releases OASIS: SUPERSONIC in U.S. theaters as a one-night only theatrical event on October 26, 2016-- Rama's Screen --

Regardless of the subject matter or the music, this is a brilliant documentary, never anything other than subjective. Obviously I'm a fan-boy, loving the first album despite phasing out after the release of the SOME MIGHT SAY single and disliking the 2nd album with growing apathy with each release and the growing super-stardom that followed. The summer of '94 brings great memories, with friends, whirlwind romances, chemical discoveries, and what not, fun coming out me ear-holes, with Definitely Maybe sound tracking it. I'd managed to stave off the tracksuit image....just.....but it all felt real still. I'd grown sceptical of what the band later achieved and audiences that followed them. I guess it was inevitable, and call me a snob, but it was satisfying that last night this doc identified exactly what happened to Oasis, what they became, beyond any media promotion or shallow hipster idolisation. They simply haven't got the creative nous to produce further albums of greatness beyond that exhilarating debut (think the Pistols here also, like). And its for all to see up there on screen, the original bands awareness of themselves beyond the cocaine fuelled hedonism and, of course, the wealth. Of course it carried on as we know and the rest is history, a disappointing history for me, alas. Because Definitely Maybe is a f*cking mega album, end of. And this doc is too. Its not DiG! that the f*cking hipsters all think is great (Its not guys - its a shocking doc, but has great music). Its the real deal whether you like the band or not, an expose of EXACTLY what it must be like for a bunch of scallies from Burnage, with a love for hedonism and rock 'n' roll, who got marketed and became massive beyond their control. Mega! x.

I watched with great interest this documentary, I wanted to know more about the band Oasis. I think I have just one CD, maybe two, with them and, after about 20 years I have not given much time to discover them. Seen in the huge cinema hall, it was seen and heard super cool. They have some beautiful melodies: Rock 'n' Roll Star, Some Might Say, Don't Look Back In Anger, Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall, Supersonic. Mat Whitecross is a talented director. I've worked with him myself, I was featured in Take That: The Flood music video. Whether you like Oasis or you not know them at all, deserve to see the movie to find out something about an important band in the history of rock'n'roll.
