DVD Reviews of Ultimate G's (3-D) (Large Format)
DVD Review: For Those Who Love To Fly
Summary: 3 Stars
For those who have wanted to fly since childhood this film brings back memories. Yes, it's somewhat corny plot-wise, but the flying is authentic and real. The flying scenes are beautiful. The characters are wholesome and a bit unreal in many ways, but to someone who dislikes Hollywood and such, they were refreshing. Talented? I suspect the script as such didn't allow real talent to come out. This is a documentary. The flying scenes are the big thing in this movie made for iMax theaters, the plot is second fiddle. I wish I could see it on an iMax screen. I say THANKS to the producers and actors for making a film for those of us who wanted so badly to fly as kids. For me, like Zac, the dream has come true.

DVD Review: Excellent 3D, predictable story
Summary: 3 Stars
Gladly, I did not purchase this DVD. It was given to me for free when I ordered the fantastic Virtual FX 3D System from edimensional.com. As for the movie, the story is totally predictable and a bit cheesy at times. The kid in the beginning isn't all that smart. Sure, he is inventive, but doesn't do any proper research into the mechanics of flight until his dad takes interest. Plus, his parents do not get involved with the kid's interests until he starts performing crazy stunts. Wouldn't you think they'd be with him in his aerial dreams from the start? His inventions remind me of the suicidal inventions created by the first people trying to achieve flight. The bicycle-crappy hang glider combination the boy makes would not have glided like it does in the film. His weight and that of the bike would have dropped the contraption right to the ground after going off the ramp. I also have to wonder why Canadian flyers are down in Arizona doing Operation Red Flag style dogfights over Lake Powell and the Grand Canyon. How come they are not up in Canada?
Other than the story, which needs serious tweaking, the 3D depth effects are great. Of course, I must tout the Virtual FX 3D System again, because you can now achieve nearly identical results with any 2D source, like TV shows and any movies on DVD or video. But, since the IMAX film was literally filmed in 3D, the effects are much more pronounced. The inner cockpit views of the pilots during the flight scenes are poorly done though. Sure, they're in 3D, but are clearly staged instead of actual in-flight views of real pilots.
On the whole, the movie is worthy of having if you desire to increase your field sequential 3D film collection, just don't expect a highly engaging and emotional experience with the story.
DVD Review: totally forgettable tripe...
Summary: 3 Stars
...but if you must add to your field-sequential 3D movie collection (and you know you must), you might as well add this. 3D effects are the main attraction here, so don't bother with this if you don't have the high-quality field-sequential (HQFS) viewing system for 3D. Better choices for HQFS 3D movies would be Transitions or Spy Kids 3D (HQFS). See my 3D list here at Amazon for other titles.DVD Review: Ultimately for kids ...
Summary: 3 Stars
In 2d........forget it!
In 3d, "Ultimate G's" is watchable, but its just not as special as movies like "Haunted Castle" or "Alien Adventure". There are some pretty cool flying sequences, but the 3d effect of watching planes flying in the air just isn't as thrilling as some of the "rollercoaster" affects in the two movies previously described.
Ultimately, the 3d version of "Ultimate G's" doesn't cross the barrier into adult entertainment. It's good to watch once or so in 3D, but kids will probably find it more satisfying than adults (especially for repeat viewings).
I'm glad to have this movie in my 3d collection, even if its not the best. If you are looking for an AWESOME 3d movie and haven't seen any of the mentioned films in this review.....I would suggest "Alien Adventure" and "Haunted Castle".
"Ultimate G's" is good-just not great. The computer and digitally animated 3D movies (Ultimate G's is a live story with real actors, planes, etc..) are really where the ultimate action is at!
DVD Review: No G's In This Movie
Summary: 1 Stars
They chose the wrong title for this movie. Most of the movie is a story about a boy who wants to fly but can't ever get off the ground.
