Rating: Summary: Not worth it! Review: This movie was well worth the NYC $10 I paid to see it in the IMAX theater. However, that was because it was in 3D!!! It was beautifully amazing with 3D glasses and for $10 I didn't mind that it was only 40 minutes long. But this is definitely not worth the money you pay on here, unless they give you 3D glasses with it and you can see it how it should be seen!
Rating: Summary: A good mix of Cirque and IMAX Review: This was an enjoyable film, but I walked away a bit diasppointed at how few of the stunts that Cirque du Soleil is famous for were in it. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had never seen Cirque live because I don't think anything could compare to being there. It was beautifully filmed and gives a good preview of some of the things you might see in a live Cirque show. Making it 3-D and adding the IMAX effects make it unlike anything else I have ever seen.I would recommend it enthusiastically for someone who has never seen Cirque live. If you have seen them live, by all means see it anyway, but be prepared for it to be nothing like a live show. Compared to the price of a ticket to a live show, Journey of Man was a bargain and I didn't feel like I wasted a penny.
Rating: Summary: Good but not great Review: This was the film made for the IMAX theaters so as with most IMAX films it is shorter than your average movie. Frankly I found the begining dull the water ballet slow and not at all entrancing. The rest was lovely but they were all acts that can bee seen on other discs with other shows. IS the premise a bit juvenile? Well yes it is but it was made BEFORE 9/11 so in fact it IS very 9/10 as someone arrogantly put it. And frankly Cirque is not an American company so even if this were made after 9/11 why must it reflect the jaded and negative nature that has come to pervade our nations attitude? This film is a lovely bit of fluff with no extras to speak of and nothing except recycled acts. It was lovely to see once but not worth owning IMHO. I had no probelm with the narration but it did actually seem somewhat uneccessary the message was there inside the visuals.

Rating: Summary: Awe-Inspiring Review: While this is much shorter than the other Cirque du Soliel DVDs I have, it is definitely my favorite. Watching this story comes close to being a spiritual experience for me. Sure, the theme is contrived, and the performances are short, but somehow none of that matters. This DVD took my breath away the first time I watched it, and continues to do so every time I watch it again...
