It's good. Would have liked it better if they were silhouetted the whole time.

That would have been cool.

There's maybe a mish mash of too many styles.
I like the collage type approach, I would have liked to have seen more of the bits where they cut Ed's face up and put it over images (like at 1:55).

Overall, I think it is a huge leap in the right direction for the band. It shows them energized, conveys some of the meaning of the song visually and will be a perfectly fine addition to their catalog to look back upon one day.
I was hoping to get a better idea of what the suggested "something else" or whatever alternative is being suggested to willing it to the sky would be, but I'm still left doing some wondering.
If only I didn't know Future Days was waiting on the album with Brendan O'Brien's cheez for me, I'd be rather enthused. Haha

I liked it... I hate the Ed jumps, But I can't take a dump on the whole video just because of them.

Yeah it cut from lots of stuff going on to the band not doing much quite a bit, so it doesn't quite match the energy of the song. But in the grand scheme if things : success!

I loved it. A little bit of cheese in it, but I think, given the director, some of that must be tongue in cheek. Lots of really great visuals to dissect. their best video in a long long time (granted that's a low bar), and a strong video by most standards.

I assume it just means to be pro-active. Be self-reliant and try to influence and act upon the world.
