In April 2015, BigBang made a comeback after a three-year hiatus as a group, and their Made World Tour ended with a great success drawing 1.5 million people worldwide. The movie follows BigBang from the beginning till the end of their world tour in a documentary format to give up close and personal view of their 340 day long journey on tour as they perform in 32 cities across 13 countries.[6] The movie shows the five singers off guard in their natural state, having fun on-stage during the concerts, as well as behind-the-scenes footage of the tour. The film also included interviews with each member.[7]

Release and reception

[edit]

"Big Bang shines the most when they are just being themselves. The movie is a collection of such moments. Without any artificial setting, the camera follows Big Bang members and records them in their most natural state. As a result, viewers can see Big Bang members not only as artist but also just as guys next door."

— Big Bang 10[8]
