I've never seen anything closer to this that looked like film and I want to know how it was done.

I've seen many footage with the HVX & M2 with magic bullet but it doesn't look anything like this.....so it can't just be magic bullet right???

like
how was the sharp edges taken off from the HVX?
also how much grain is needed to give the film look like this?
or is there anything else I'm missing???
 
I see magic bullet on there for sure, I see a lot of vignette, look at the corners, dont know if that is coming from the actual lens of if it was applied on post with magic bullet
 
The video clearly says that it was shot using a 35mm camera lens. They used a 35mm adapter. There are numerous discussion of that on the forums.

Post processes like Magic Bullet can't achieve what in this case is an optical technique. The vignetting on the image is a by-product of the adapter (if installed incorrectly).

For a more economical (and quite effective) post solution than Magic Bullet, try Nattress' Film Effects for FCP.
 
To me, it looks like a very well-aligned redrock M2 adapter with a very nice 35mm lens. The 35mm adapter takes the "edge" off the image. It softens the image when it hits the cinescreen in the adapter.

I think the other thing you are seeing is the moving grain pattern produced by the M2. The M2 has a rotating screen inside. The pattern on the screen is changing with each frame -- just like film.

I don't know if the colorization was done in post or whether it was done in-camera. You can get a lot of these color and contrast effects in-camera by changing the scene settings.
 
In this clip's case, it helps that contrast is relatively flat. If you shot that with zebras, you'd have virtually none in these clips. Look at the shot where the light is in the frame, only a small portion of the globe is blown out. The DP was careful not to overexpose too much.
