5.0 out of 5 stars One of the very best, May 18, 2002

I have only seen it twice in New York at SONY IMAX and I wished I could have it in 3D on DVD ... but I guess I will still have to wait for that.
Although a tv-screen can't display all the great - and I mean: GREAT - impressions that you can get from the IMAX screen I guess with a good sound-system at home you can at least experience the greatness of the movie that so much reflects the image of New York.
Along with the 3-D stills it's more than today's New York sight-seeing but also a splendid look into the past, when the city was still growing.
So please dear producers: make it available on DVD in 3D as well as 2D.

5.0 out of 5 stars My first IMAX film and my first visit to the USA, September 7, 2001

By 

[e-mail] (Staffordshire, England.) - See all my reviews

This was a wonderful introduction to IMAX films, and the first film I saw on my first visit to New York (and the USA) in 1999. I could empathise so easily with the boy as he saw so many new and wonderful aspects of the city, and it also gave a sense of the history of European immigrants to the New World in byegone days. I visited many of the sites shown in the film during the following two weeks, which the film had helped me to recognise in advance. The film itself was awesome in its scale and the sound track was first class. However, I sincerely doubt that this is material for the small screen, for the very reasons I have given previously, although I recommend it heartily as a theatre experience.
