Summary: Buy this if you love air shows....
Review: ...The only thing missing is the USAF Thunderbirds. Great picture quality, awesome audio, beautiful photography...what more do you want??? Cool Documentaries on how they made the IMAX camera mounts on the F/A-18's. I bet the pilots hated flying with that weight! Overall, Superb flying film! Very enjoyable!
...oh yeah, did I mention that I was in the movie...as a spectator at the late El Toro Air Show :)

Summary: Clearly great for flight enthusiast
Review: I bought this DVD cause i've found hard time to search this kind of DVD in my country. Well, i'm surely not dissapointed. I watch this DVD in my large projector TV and sure am really want to be those pilots. The picture are really crystal clear and the music is also great. The feature of the dvd about making this film will tell you how hard it is to made such a movies.

Summary: Completely amazing!
Review: I bought this when it was first released for my son, who was almost 2 at the time. He loved it then, and he still loves it now! We watch it at least twice a week, and since he loves the Blue Angels so much, I also ordered the 50th Anniversary video.
This dvd has more than just fighter jets (if that is what you are
looking for...better get Top Gun!), it has a good bit about the birth of aviation, too. The bonus materials are very interesting. Of course, we still see it on the big screen...in all of its
IMAX glory...whenever we are near Pensacola.

Summary: Wow, makes you feel like you're flying!
Review: I got this for my 4 year old son's birthday last year because he has a fascination with air planes. Let's just say everyone in the house loves it when it comes on. We have a large screen TV and it makes you feel like you are really there! The sounds are colors are vivid. This is a wonderful dvd to pull out on those rainy/snowy days. No matter how many times we have watched it, it still holds our attention.

Summary: OK, OK, So it hasn't actually been released, but....
Review: I saw this IMAX film the first time at the National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola, FL. (You'll notice in the opening credits that they helped with the film)I was entranced by the stunning video images and the "feeling" about flying that the scenery and Tom Selleck's narrative created. The score for the film is not "TOPGUN-esque" but rather a warm and inspiring score that reminded me of EVEREST. (Another Spectacular MacGillivray Freeman effort). Needless to say I saw it another 3 times while I was in flight school. To make it easy on prospective buyers I would offer this: If you don't fly or aren't particularly interested in aviation, but have ever been curious as to what makes people want to do it, this film should shed some light. If you fly or are an aviation buff...well, this film really hits the bullseye. Difficult to put in words just how but watch the film and you know what I mean

Summary: Unique and amazing
Review: If you are an aviation lover, your heart will want to come out of your body when you watch the editorial quality of the scenes in this movie. Great movie to love aviation even more!!

Summary: Special flight documentry presented orginally in 3D wonder
Review: IMAX has done several films, and this one, like many others, fufill your dreams of doing something you know you can't do for real. Factual information is wonderful. A great film.

Summary: An Excellent IMAX Presentation
Review: In my home theater I use a Runco DLP proj. to project dvd images on large screen. The Magic Of Flight is a must-have dvd to rally show off both audio and video. I often use it as a "short subject" before projecting "the main feature dvd of the evening."
