Interesteg What makes it different from others?
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
gizmomogwai I got a box of 20 IMAX movies at a Christmas gift exchange and this was the one with the least amount of appeal to me. I've never been interested in sports or cars. In watching cars race, there's no thought required, no deep meaning. You're just supposed to be impressed by shiny fast things. This is a movie about racing cars so it will be of little interest to me.A lot of it is talk, or the movie focuses on the mechanics of making the cars. All of this might appeal to people interested in mechanics, but not me. Some of it talks about the fan base. I heard these people say NASCAR is great, but I still don't see why. There are only a couple interesting facts of science sprinkled into the film, only a couple of attention-grabbing crashes. Nothing to get too excited about.
aidro10 I really liked what was in the movie, but what ruined it for me was how short it was. Although at least 5 minutes of the movie is spent looking at fans (most particularly American women) i believe it was very informative and interesting. If you need time to kill before a date then this is a must see. If you enjoy big crash scenes, constant action, and hot shot rookies you will not enjoy this. As strained in the summary this movie was intelligently produced but needed more time to be further gone into, in other words perhaps a further explanation of a few things would make this movie better. I know its a imax movie and was made to be short but i still stand by opinion. Worth the trip to the video rental place, but not the video store.
rezzy I kept wanting to touch the images, especially in the opening sequence. This movie just has to be seen to be believed. It literally picks you up and sets you right down onto the track. I thought I was sitting on that banked oval!. The sound was excellent also as I kept turning to tell some patrons to be quiet. Then I quickly found out the voices were part of the 'surround' dialog. Ear-blowing as well. The sound could have been a bit louder, but you can't have it all. And Keifer Sutherland's narration was, well--Keifer Sutherland. You can't go wrong with him in any role. I could sum this film in 5 words or less, but IMDB needs 10 lines for my review. What can I say? I give N3D a perfect 10 as a 'documentary' movie. Now I want the IMAX 3D experience at home...dang!
StatNo Who has been to the IMAX lately? well I certainly haven't, but I decided to go because I'm a really big fan of Nascar and with it being on a larger 3-D screen for all the effects and what not, I think they out did themselves by putting this film into an IMAX version. I ended up taking my son, he's really into the racing like, so he really enjoyed the different atmosphere for the 3-D experience. Atfirst I couldn't recognize the voice of the narrator but then it dawned on my that it was Keifer Sutherland that was the voice. I'm surprised to see him in so many movies now-a-days. If I'm right, I think I saw a tv preview that he's on Taking lives? He's getting out to adventure in a wide range of movies it seems. I'd see this movie if my son wanted to see it again.
