Why so much hype?
Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Simply Perfect
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Brilliantly made movie, not just for people into racing but for everyone. It tells it from the point of view of the people who make this sport awesome-The Riders. Awesomely made.The story line is also very good with a record being broken at the end also all the main characters that they have shown at the end end up in the hospital shows how dangerous it is of all the sports.This movie shows the true story without any edits and makes it stand out wonderfully. If you are true racing fan you are gonna enjoy it even more. Very different from all the mainstream Hollywood racing movies which brings in different angles of crime.This is unlike those, concentrates on purely the sport and racing.Its All about racing in this movie.
Being a huge fan of the Isle of Man TT since Moving to the Island in 2008, I was highly looking forward to this film. I went to the cinema to watch it the day it released, and Pre-Ordered the DVD as early as I could. I was happy to see a good turn out of people while queuing for our screen, which is something not normally accomplished by a biking or Motorsport in general related film.Once we were in and the lights dimmed, we were all immediately hurled into the lives of the riders, Spectators and organizers of the TT. The Atmosphere was electrifying and the 3D was superbly pulled off. I sat in absolute awe as I was tossed through turns, surrounded by the noises of the machines that I love. I felt the nerves of the riders as they built up to the races and the Elation of each as they Flew at breakneck speeds through the twists and turns of the TT circuit. Suddenly though I was hit by the shock, and the feeling of dread as terrifying incidents take place.Overall the film transfers across the feelings of the riders and spectators in a truly tremendous fashion, often leaving you speechless. This film is a must watch for any biking enthusiast. That being said there is absolutely No reason to not go and see this even if you are not normally attracted to the sport. The film Shows the humanity that is involved in any sport that comes with risk, and shows how people cope with the loss of fellow riders or loved ones. This film shows the true strength of the human spirit and the willingness to risk life and limb for what you truly love doing. The point is raised that anyone who has died doing this, knows the risks, and has passed Happily doing what the Love.The message to take from this film is to live life to its fullest. Live it doing what you Enjoy most. Even if that means Living life on the edge.
Forget that it's a documentary, forget that it's about motorbike racing, this is simply a fantastic movie, with more tension and heart than almost anything I've seen on the screen this year - or any year.Sometimes a documentary really captures the human condition the way feature films find it hard to do. It happened in Anvil:The Story of Anvil and it happens in TT3D. I defy anyone not to fall in love with this movie within minutes of the opening shots, which are possibly the only poor shots in the film - rider-eye-views of the TT track which should have been terrifying but which suffer for the lack of a horizon in the framing. At this point your girlfriend might be excused for wondering whether she could drag you out of TT3D and into Pirates of the Caribbean before she misses a single frame of Johnny Depp.But these moments are brief, and as soon as Guy Martin pops onto the screen with his eccentric, selfish, bawdy, but strangely innocent, obsession about winning a TT race, you know you're in for an amazing ride, and so it proves. With just the right mix of characters, contemporaneous footage and vintage thrills and spills, TT3D takes you on an incredible journey into a place where glory is often harder to come by than death.Like Anvil and the outstanding The World's Fastest Indian, this is a movie that transcends its subject matter and takes you on a white-knuckle ride through the Isle and the soul of Man.
This is the first review I've written on IMDb and TT3D is definitely a worthy title!I was unsure what to expect having recently seen I, Superbiker at the cinema which I felt was more like a season review of the BSB than a film.TT3D however didn't disappoint - it really does capture the spirit and emotion of the Isle of Man TT. The on bike footage is amazing especially when watching it on cinema screen.We paid the extra and went to see it in 3D which was well worth it, it really adds to the effect of the film. The best bits for me were on the one liners by Guy Martin and the footage of the TT itself. I'm looking forward to seeing what the director (Richard De Aragues) brings out next!
