Such a frustrating disappointment

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Spoilers ahead: I saw this recently at the Air and Space Museum at the Smithsonian in DC with a couple of business buddies. At first, I have to admit to mild acrophobia and being some skeptical of the title, but the boss was buying and I couldn't weazel out. When the movie began, I could barely look directly at the screen, as free-falling to the ground from a plane isn't exactly an experience I relish. However,as the movie progressed and began to explore the biology behind the excitement of these daring (crazy?) feats, I was slowly conquering my queezy stomach. By the time they tested Leonardo Da Vinci's parachute over the Mohave, and I watched it majestically soar over the desert, I was enthralled. At the finale, when it was time for the jump from the mountain I promised myself to follow it all the way through, and landed a changed man. Great experience, well worth seeing!

One thing you must understand, this movie is a documentary about skydiving and B.A.S.E. jumping, which is another type of skydiving except it's not done from any aircraft but rather from some fixed object on the ground such as Buildings, Antenna's, Spans or Earth (mountains, cliffs).So, don't expect to see anything else.However, the way it was produced, filmed and performed is just phenomenal and very enjoyable.Please watch it and have fun. You really don't have to be involved in this sport to truly appreciate it.

The best IMAX movie I've ever seen. There's this mile-high sheer cliff with 4 guys in parachutes ready to jump off... you're in a helicopter directly overhead looking straight down on them as they jump... the visuals are dizzying at this and other points.The story revolves around a group of people called "base jumpers", which means jumping off something attached to the ground. Cliffs, buildings, bridges over deep gorges... anything goes. They also jump out of airplanes, and do some amazing aerobatics.The "science" part of the story involves describing in simple language how an adrenaline high is a natural high that some people desperately crave for biochemical reasons. They team up with some scientists trying to see if Leonardo da Vinci's centuries-old design of a parachute will work. They actually built it, hang a person off it, and lift both up to 10,000 feet using a hot-air balloon. Then they drop it and... you get to see what happens. Did Leonardo successfully design the world's first parachute, centuries before the first aircraft flight? You be the judge.The music, visuals, cinematography, and story are all excellent. If you see just one IMAX movie in your life, see this one. Forget "Dinosaurs in 3D" and others, which are mostly crap. See this one.

"Adrenaline Rush" was a terrific look at the modern technology we use to take flight in the world of growing knowledge. Great cinematography and camerawork show the audience what it is like to fly like an eagle on the wings of a sunrise. The film follows two "risk takers" in their attempt to create a parachute drawn by Leonardo Da Vinci in the 1500's in order to further understand whatmakes humans fly at best. Anecdotes and stories of modern science are addedto this through out the film, giving the viewer, be it adult of kid, a great deal to comprehend in the short forty-five minutes that they are viewing. I particularly liked the scenes involving the "new" kind of parachute that allows divers to fall and float more like a bird than just fall out the sky regularly. All the people on the crew clearly knew what they were doing, and this film proves so by many haps. Great musical cues animate the sky as these experienced ski divers free fall and play air games with a tennis ball. This is a good one-the kind that makes you want to go and take the risk! 10/10
