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? <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />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.
Viewer Reviews
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.
