DVD Reviews of NASCAR - The IMAX Experience
DVD Review: Really Enjoyable
Summary: 5 Stars
This was purchased as a gift for my father-in-law. I am by no means a NASCAR fan, but the DVD did a good job of making it and its history very interesting.DVD Review: Love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
My 5 year old loves racing and we saw the 3D version of this movie in the theatre in 2009. The 2D DVD seems to be the same movie minus the 3rd dimension. Our family has really enjoyed this movie. It's helped me appreciate and understand NASCAR and learn to enjoy something that my son loves so much. Hope you enjoy it, too!DVD Review: Decent documentary but overhyped.
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a decent movie if you aren't a Nascar fan. Will definitly get you into the sport for a first-timer. My main complaint is that I bought this on DVD when it was first released. When I saw it the box and coverart both boasted the 3D release of the film. It was not originally released as Nascar Imax but as Nascar Imax in 3D in huge letters. I would have been happy with just an anagliph presentation but didn't even get that. Also as far as extras? Don't hold your breath. There aren't any. Just a 2D presentation for a 40 minute movie. They could have at least included an anaglyph version on the same disc as there was plenty of wasted data space. Glad to see attention paid to my favorite sport but don't advertise that you are releasing a 3D movie when you really aren't. Dissapointed. DVD Review: No Big Deal
Summary: 3 Stars
The overall impact is fine, but this isnt the title to get if you were wanting gritty realism paired to IMAX. Examples: in one scene a crash is shown from a distance, and they animate in a tire (which detaches and flies straight for the camera.) And they put an IMAX camera in a cup car and send a group out in a non-race situation, and then constantly refer back to this footage *as if* it was showing racing action. Its a staged interpretation of racing. The overall effect of the movie is fine, but it lacks intensity- and the intensity it tries to create is usually phony. DVD Review: Raceing Is My Life
Summary: 5 Stars
Along with the little people in the cubes my son loves NASCAR anything. So along with a book, Dale Ernhardt Sr DVD and a few other things, I got him this DVD. He loves it. Says it's great.
Description of NASCAR - The IMAX Experience
When NASCAR: The IMAX Experience 3D is released to IMAX Theatres in Spring 2004, fans will literally be transported into the driver's seat of America's most popular spectator sport. The groundbreaking IMAX 3D film, set against America's most popular spectator sport, will be distributed exclusively to IMAX theatres by Warner Bros. Pictures and IMAX in Spring 2004 and marks Warner Bros.' first foray into the IMAX arena.DVD Features:
Documentaries:Drivers' Profiles
Documentary:NASCAR's closest racing moments
Until you've seen NASCAR: The IMAX Experience, you haven't really seen NASCAR. Even without the advantage of a gigantic IMAX screen and 70-millimeter 3-D projection, this 48-minute IMAX film is a perfect primer for newcomers to the sport of stock-car racing. Like all IMAX films it's aimed at a mainstream audience (hardcore NASCAR fans won't learn anything new here), so it covers a broad spectrum of general history, technical information, and pure high-speed adrenaline, from NASCAR's origins in 1947 to the oval-track highlights of the 2003 season. While Lonesome Dove director Simon Wincer captures the action (including some amazing mid-pack and cockpit footage during actual races), Kiefer Sutherland narrates an informative survey of season-long activities, from car building and safety measures at Mooresville, North Carolina, to pit-crew practice, transportation logistics, constant danger and its effect on drivers' wives and families, and the aerodynamics of drafting. Interesting trivia (each tire costs $389!) is included along with driver profiles and a compilation of memorable race finishes, but it's the IMAX footage that makes this a thrill-a-minute DVD, perfect for anyone who's just beginning to enjoy the world's fastest (and fastest-growing) sport. --Jeff Shannon
