I really loved this film, mainly because you get to see so many behind the scenes (lol) type of stuff when they're on tour. I found it to be really fascinating. They show pre-show prep, after concert celebrations, how they spend their free time on tour (song writing, relaxing, shopping, etc.), and you get to see the hardships of all of it (injuries, fatigue, emotional exhaustion). It really feels like you're there with them through it all.
You also don't necessarily need to watch the YouTube Red series to follow or understand anything going on. My friend, who isn't much of an ARMY and hasn't seen hardly anything about BTS other than MVs, really liked the movie.

Teamwork makes the dream work
Great documentary movie and you get to know the real members behind the global worldstar BTS. This shows what their lives are, in music and in real life as well. I think this is a must for all Armies out there. The movie doesn't only show the joyful cheerful BTS we are used to see - but shows the very emotional and raw side of the Bangtan members. I think one of the reasons I really fell in love with the band is the special bond that BTS has together, the teamwork and connection, and that you can see that they are one family.I wish we could see more of the "realistic" documentaries and movies about BTS. It's not easy of course, and have the courage to show their weak and not so bright sides as well. We are all humans, idols especially, and we aren't always happy and bright, we all have bad days too. I think it's great that BigHit released this and wanted to show the real side of them to their fans. Big applause to BigHit.
Only bad thing about the movie is that I cried a lot, so bring your tissues when watching this movie.(Will be rewatching when my tears are dry)

Behind-the-scenes, get to know BTS better!
Here, in 2023, looking for any content I can find on BTS, this was a treat. I watched it on YouTube. It didn't show me anything I didn't already know, but I think that anyone new to BTS would get a better understanding of who they are by watching this. Each era of BTS has landmarks for them, but this movie shows them during their Wings tour (2017) - when they were just beginning to be recognized by other countries. They were huge already in terms of fandom, as evidenced by sold out concerts everywhere they went, but this was the era that brought them recognition in terms of awards, and this is when they first appeared on US tv.This is not a movie to showcase their music, but to show how hard they work on a daily basis to be the best and to bring the best to their fans. The amount of work they do preparing for concerts is amazing, even reworking/discussing choreography up to the last minute before going on stage. When they come off stage, drenched in sweat, literally, and have to be helped into dry clothes, you can see that they have given their all on the stage. Their energy is spent, but they've only got time for a few deep breaths before going back out and giving even more of themselves.
I continue to marvel at their bond with one another. Their love for each other, their respect for each other, and their support of each other can be seen here. They work hard, but they love hanging out with one another, just having a good time. You might expect this to be a natural consequence of living together as trainees and after they debuted, but I have not found another group that has this kind of connection. They are extremely humble (so many others could definitely benefit by learning this!) and strive to continue to give more and better performances.

FOR BTS FANS & STANS
I really liked the narration and the narrator's voice but the docuseries of the same name is much better and has more behind the scenes information. There were a few new things in this movie, like the performance on Jimmy Kimmel for the first time and the American Music Awards performance.I guess I was expecting something else. I was hoping for an actual concert film so I could watch them perform their songs in concert as if I was at the concert. I still look forward to watching all the other concert films they have done and watching all things BTS that I can find.
