Summary: Really cool documentary
Review: This new and enhanced version with DTS sound and widescreen image it's really a cool feature to own. Mario Andretti drives the car as fast as the real thing, even with a bulky IMAX camera on-board (which he controls himself, BTW).Some parts do have some light flickering (and that's mentioned briefly in the Making-of part) but they are rare and not very noticeable. It's a documentary about racing.

Summary: One of the Best DVD's on the market for Home Audio
Review: For those of us who have high end home audio equiptment, this DVD is one of the few that will show off it's capabilities and for all the rest of you this DVD will make your system sound better than you ever thought it would....It is awsome....those people who ranked this DVD with 1 star are nuts...they must have a 4" screen and listening to the sound through a pair of 1950's style speakers that crackle if you set the volume knob beyond 3. Honestly I have over 300's DVD and when someone new comes over my house this is the DVD I put on to show off....You will love it....

Summary: One of the best IMAX DVD's
Review: This is one of the best Imax DVD's out in the market. I bought this DVD for my dad who absolutely loves auto racing. To my surprise I also enjoyed the movie because it gives an insight as to the amount of hours that goes into designing and building a race car. The racing scenes and camera angles are intense. The producer does a good job of tying together the story of the Andretti family and their legacy of racing. This is an enjoyable movie.

Summary: Show off your home theatre
Review: This is a terrific DVD for showing off your home theatre. The picture is absolutely beautiful. The 5.1 Digital sound is incredible! As you blast down the test track every object you pass near comes into audible focus and just as quickly whizzes past you at over 200 miles per hour. The story is interesting as they take a race car from concept through construction and testing. Suitable for the whole family. My only complaint was in the description..that says it's in "1.33" (fullscreen) format but also states that it is "Color, Widescreen, Dolby". It's not widescreen, it's 1.33. Does this match the original IMAX screen-ration? I don't know but that would make sense. In short, if you love your home theatre, you will want this.

Summary: Super Boring
Review: As true race fan, this was grossly disappointing. The movie only shows about 10 minutes of racing, the rest of boring behind the scenes stuff. I anticipated great sound as well, but that was stymied too. Terrible background music and Andretti's narration overrides any chance of quality sound. Save your $.. bucks, because this is not racing.

Summary: Bad DVD
Review: This DVD is very very very bad. Es un documental muy malo sobre la fabricacion y prueba de carros formula INDY 500. El sonido es bueno pero el documental muy fastidioso. La imagen en pantalla es en formato Standard no IMAX.

Summary: Outstanding images & outstanding sound Dolby 5.1
Review: A great DVD to showcase your system. The driver's view of the race track is second to none, and is enthralling. The sound takes your breath away.

Summary: A Real Crowd Pleaser
Review: The first time I saw this, I was in a demo room at a dealership. I never forgot the images and how it left me feeling. Eventually I found this title in a local store and bought it. Although I don't remember the price, it would not have been an issue. Both my 5 year old son and I enjoy watching this over and over. We have since seen this on one of our 15' diagonal screens (9x12) through a Proxima 9320 LCD projector, with a component feed (Our company rents AV equipment). This was shown in our backyard for all to see. Everyone was impressed. We have a Mitsubishi 45" RP set for use at home and I only wish it was bigger.The video and audio quality is excellent at any size. Get this for the Holidays!

Summary: Great adrenaline-rusher
Review: As a racer myself, I could tell that there is a fair amount of dramatization and (over)emphasis added. Make no mistake, this tape was made to entertainment--a documentary it is certainly not. I am giving it 5 stars for the superb picture and sound quality--especilly when viewed on our 10-foot screen and 1k watt audio system--which is probably the main point of making this video. The only thing missing is the actual g-forces you feel in the cars. I get goose bump watching this video.

Summary: Video quality could be better.
Review: My comments are mainly on the video quality, or lack of it. Because it's a DVD it looks much better than video tape. However it is the first DVD I've seen (of 30 or so) that has visible compression artifacts. While most of the video is sharp, there are some glaring problems in spots. For example, in a long shot of the track, the cars in the distance look like they're emerging from a fog. It's a disappointing IMAX transfer consider the very high quality of the source material. I watched the DVD on a 100 inch high definition projector. These problems will probably not be noticeable on a 30" regular (NTSC) television. As for the movie itself, the sountrack is great, the pacing is a little off (what's with the barnyard animals?), and the technical details covered were interesting. A real "you are there" experience.
