pentlandbiker Appalling commentary and people jumping off things.The first few seconds increased my adrenaline four fold – why was I watching this tosh? A gravely voiced doom-mongering narration of the story of our two heroes as they walk in slow motion across the desert. The photography of the base jumpers was good and the sky diving also, but that’s pretty standard stuff on IMAX these days. Meanwhile our narrator maintains his style with a delivery that you would normally find in trailers for cheap horror flicks. The film then descends into some stupid stuff about Leonardo’s’ original drawing of a parachute – will it work? They build it; they drop it from a plane with a guy holding on to it. At about 2000 ft from the ground he lets go (!) and lands using a modern parachute. Leonardo’s’ crashes to the ground – hardly a signal to uncork the champagne. A truly awful film with nice pictures.

altair-4-toast Just arrived from OMNIMAX theater, this film viewed with this IMAX format is just electrifying as the adrenaline rushes its characters are looking for, this document covers some parachute and B.A.S.E. jumping activities done by those who make risk a way of life, as others need safety and wellness, these ones look for potentially mortal experiences, and to say the truth they all looked like being very happy... Not my way, period, but still they made it look funny. Pro air cameramen do great work for the movie, and they make a real try on some Leonardo Davinci's previous designs. Nice time for dinning-room sofa sportsmen looking for some stress, watch this movie in LARGE format if possible!

wayne-191 The best IMAX movie I've ever seen. There's this mile-high sheer cliff with 4 guys in parachutes ready to jump off... you're in a helicopter directly overhead looking straight down on them as they jump... the visuals are dizzying at this and other points.The story revolves around a group of people called "base jumpers", which means jumping off something attached to the ground. Cliffs, buildings, bridges over deep gorges... anything goes. They also jump out of airplanes, and do some amazing aerobatics.The "science" part of the story involves describing in simple language how an adrenaline high is a natural high that some people desperately crave for biochemical reasons. They team up with some scientists trying to see if Leonardo da Vinci's centuries-old design of a parachute will work. They actually built it, hang a person off it, and lift both up to 10,000 feet using a hot-air balloon. Then they drop it and... you get to see what happens. Did Leonardo successfully design the world's first parachute, centuries before the first aircraft flight? You be the judge.The music, visuals, cinematography, and story are all excellent. If you see just one IMAX movie in your life, see this one. Forget "Dinosaurs in 3D" and others, which are mostly crap. See this one.

HeartMonger "Adrenaline Rush" was a terrific look at the modern technology we use to take flight in the world of growing knowledge. Great cinematography and camerawork show the audience what it is like to fly like an eagle on the wings of a sunrise. The film follows two "risk takers" in their attempt to create a parachute drawn by Leonardo Da Vinci in the 1500's in order to further understand whatmakes humans fly at best. Anecdotes and stories of modern science are addedto this through out the film, giving the viewer, be it adult of kid, a great deal to comprehend in the short forty-five minutes that they are viewing. I particularly liked the scenes involving the "new" kind of parachute that allows divers to fall and float more like a bird than just fall out the sky regularly. All the people on the crew clearly knew what they were doing, and this film proves so by many haps. Great musical cues animate the sky as these experienced ski divers free fall and play air games with a tennis ball. This is a good one-the kind that makes you want to go and take the risk! 10/10
