DVD Reviews of Dust to Glory

DVD Review: Good movie about a race that rarely gets any credit
Summary: 4 Stars

I'm an avid off-road motorcyclist, and heard the hype about this movie for months before it was released. As soon as it was available on DVD I purchased it without hesitation.

Turns out it has the feel of a 'discovery channel' documentary to the whole movie, which is ok I guess, but I was expecting a lot more 1st person camera footage (from the bike during the race). Most of the time was devoted to the Honda XR650R motorcycle racers, but a fair amount of coverage was given to Robby Gordon (not sure why, I think he takes away from anything on TV anywhere). I like watching almost any kind of vehicle race off-road, and I must say there was a good mix between the bikes and trucks.

Overall it was a good movie, great if you consider how rarely we get a movie promoting off-road racing. There are some really awesome camera shots spread throughout the movie, some from helicopter and some from cameramen on bikes, I've gotta say those shots were breathtaking, but they didn't last very long and left me wanting more. I'm glad to see Baja finally get a good movie, but as with a lot of documentary type shows, it drops the ball and focuses a bit too much on non-race people and 'sideshow' happenings along the way. You get to meet people you could care less about, crazy drunks, orphans, etc all through the movie. You feel like they're trying to build up all these relationships with the audience, maybe even trying to get you to root for certain participants instead of just focusing on the race action like we're interested in. If you know how exciting an off-road race actually is, you will be dissappointed at certain points by the constant jumping away from the action. I think it veered away from the hard core race action to get the movie to appeal to more 'non-racer' types and/or women (lets face it, this is definitely a guy movie!).

Overall, I would recommend to any off-roader, but I'm holding out on that 5th star for the next movie!
