Summary: EXCELLENT QUALITY THAT WILL PUSH YOUR SYSTEM TO ITS LIMITS
Review: If you like race cars then you have to get this. An IMAX film, this documentary about racing in the CART league is of excellent quality. This really makes my sound system scream. You can literally feel the track surface when this is turned up. There is a making-of for the entire film, chapter by chapter, but unless you're the kind of person who can read a popular science from cover to cover you might not find it that exciting. Now that I have a 16x9 TV, I'll have to upgrade to the Mach II version of this DVD.

Summary: Great Home Theater Demo Disc
Review: This is a great disc to show off your home theater. Not only is the sound chest pounding, but the experience of riding in an Indy car is incredible on a really large screen. It is really a great comparision to show someone the video on a 36" TV and then on a 100"+ screen from a projector. The difference is like night and day!

Summary: SUPER PICTURES
Review: No doubt the pictures were superb and a well documented events. I would take out this disc everytime my friends come over to demo my setup. But a little disappointed with sound effects. With 5.1 Dolby Digital sound encoding, I am sure IMAX could do better. But mine was not a Mach II, it was the first edition so I dont know how the DTS version sounds.

Summary: extremely fun, even if you are not a race nut
Review: If you love open-wheel racing, you must see this DVD. Even if you don't you will find it both entertaining and mind-blowing to watch. This IMAX production follows the Newman-Haas CART team from the pre-season testing to a real race during the season. Veteran driver Mario Andretti as well as his son Michael take to the wheel of a specially-rigged CART racing car that has an IMAX camera attached to it. The footage is spectacular!
At the same time we get inisghts into the technology side of racing, with visits to the Lola and Cosworth factories in England.
Mario Andretti's first race car was the Watson roadster, and as a special treat in this movie we see him re-united with the very beautifully restored car.
The movie is narrated by Paul Newman and feautures interviews with the Andrettis as well as Paul Newman's co-team owner Carl Haas.

Summary: Lacking in IMAX feel
Review: This IMax movie left me with a empty feeling, having not fulfilled what I was looking for. The clips showing race was rare, I expected more time devoted to it. The movie was composed of too much dialoge and story and not enough racing. I wanted to see racing and only got about 10 minutes or so of that. I was very disappointed.

Summary: A waste of money and time.
Review: Boy was I disappointed when I watched this! IMAX films are generally designed to wow viewers in their exclusive massive theaters with hundreds of speakers and a monster sound system. But the story-line, dialog and every other aspect of the films are are pretty sterile, contrived and basically boring. Well take away the big theater and what you get is the lame story and only a glimpse of the films visual and audio impact. (Yes, I've got all the cool stuff, 42" TV, DTS, 200W/channel...blah blah blah). There lots of IMAX-y shots that start at a distance then slowly zoom in. In the IMAX theater the crowd goes ooh and ahh. At home you go huh? And don't expect any real racing excitment. They show a few random clips of a race, then wha-la the winners are spraying champagne. The dialog is presented as if it's genuine, but it's obviously scripted. The test track footage is pretty cool and the engine sounds are good but inconsistent,they have to turn them down so you can hear the lame dialog. Mario Andretti is of course way-cool, he can't help it. And if you're into it (I'm not) there's a handful of old clips of horrific crashes, most of which someone was killed (neat huh). These are not filmed in IMAX. I haven't watched the making-of bit yet but I'm sure it's more interesting than the main feature.

Summary: Experience High Speed Racing
Review: Best high speed race video ever made. High quality IMAX video at home, strap yourself in for a high speed Formula 1 experience. If you like racing sports (or just driving fast), this film is a must. If you have a good video / sound system, this video will bring it to life. If you are a Andretti racing fan, this video will is very satifing. It has excellent racing video, sound is excellent, good history, behind the scenes footage and a great story. The extra video on the making of Superspeed way is very interesting. This video makes those on board race car cameras look like toys.
This is the real thing. If you ever wondered what it is really like to be in a Formula 1 race car, you can get very close with this video. Do yourself a favor and get this video. You will watch it more than once.

Summary: Great Movie, but could use better sound
Review: In my opinion the content of the movie is great, the use tons of angles in the shots for the cars, but the dvd does not come with DTS as it says, you only get dolby digital.
