Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Nonureva Really Surprised!
Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
dallasryan A very well made documentary about the band 30 Seconds to Mars' struggle with their record label. A very informative documentary that opens your eyes to the shysters in the music business. Redundant at times, but it needs to be redundant to show the audience what a stressful ordeal and struggle it is to come to a compromise with the shady record label. Jared Leto is very talented, an excellent singer and a true artist all around. I have a much bigger respect for him now. Hopefully more people will see this documentary and will come together as a whole to be the change in getting these money hungry record labels to change the way they do business. I feel very sorry for musicians now, I had no idea it was like this. 30 Seconds to Mars could have kept fighting, but they understood you have to pick your battles. And they won in what they wanted and they also won on an even bigger scope by showing the world in this documentary how awful record labels are. On a final note, I can truly say Jared Leto seems like a really cool guy. I was an actor in a short film once and he was cool with letting the production shoot right outside his house. Not many actors/musicians would be cool with that kind of thing. He truly does fight in many ways for the little guy. Not many like him in the business. He deserves all of his good fortune. Do yourself a favor and see this documentary right away. It's fantastic!
Jill Kristine Brink "Sometimes you have to fight in order to be free." These words spoken by Jared Leto are the heart and soul of this film. ARTIFACT is an amazing account of the thirty million dollar lawsuit brought against Thirty Seconds to Mars by their own record label. It documents the band's highs and lows of trying to make their third studio album 'This Is War' while simultaneously fighting against an antiquated industry for a more fair and balanced contract. This film while very personal, documents the plight of all professional artists. It's smart, informative, brave, powerful, and emotionally raw. Band members Jared Leto, brother Shannon Leto, and Tomo Miličević share feelings of anger and discouragement to moments of humor and ultimately accomplishment and satisfaction. ARTIFACT is a brilliantly told poignant story of optimism that art and commerce can coexist when hard work and the belief in one's self are equally demonstrated. I absolutely loved this film and highly recommend it. While I am a huge fan of the band (an Echelon) and of Jared Leto's acting and film making, you don't have to be a fan to appreciate this film. Provehito In Altum.
Bashair Tarabzouni I have watched it many times, and never got bored though it is a documentary :p amazing work. ..i have learned a lot from it. ..very helpful for people who want to enter business specially in the music industry,it shows how music record companies fool the musicians and write hidden or small things in contracts that those musicians don't know about and then take their money and lie to them. .. The directing is very good, music in the movie is well chosen and many amazing stars are included. .what is better than seeing jared leto, shannon, tomo, robbie williams "for few seconds" , chester from linkin park and serj all in one place? :D I highly recommend watching it :DIt is fun,educational and inspiring...
Yadira Gonzalez Overwelming and a mind blower, Artifact The Film opens your eyes to the harsh reality of the music industry through the eyes of Jared Leto and his band, 30 Seconds to Mars. It is a must see for everyone, specially musicians, singers, producers and everyone involved in show business. This film is amazing, a roller-coaster of emotions that took me from laughter, to tears; from frustration to anger, to hope. It is such a respectable effort to say what has to be said about the actual music environment where technology has taking over and artists have to struggle in order to economically survive while trying to make their music. After watching, I respect the band and Mr. Leto even more for fighting so passionate for what is right, for standing up for what they believe in.
