Editorial Reviews

A boy dreams of flying and grows up to make those dreams real. Eleven-year-old Zac (Michael Cera, Juno, Superbad) is constantly inventing flying machines with the help of his friend Laura. As the two grow up they separate, but both become pilots. Sixteen years later, while visiting Laura at her aerial mechanics shop in Arizona, Zac is challenged to an aerobatic duel by a rival. The result is a thrilling flying sequence over the Grand Canyon. Filmed in 3D, ULTIMATE G'S: ZAC’S FLYING MACHINE puts you in the front seat of an Extra 300 aerobatic monoplane. Pilots from the Air Combat Canada airshow team, and the world aerobatic champion, engage in solo flight, dog fights, formation and aerobatic flying.

3.0 out of 5 stars at least the 3-D is good... February 11, 2002
By A Customer
Format:DVD
Rating this on the movie alone, I would give it only 1 star. It's a bad story and really boring. I only purchased it to see the 3-D version, using the special glasses that you must buy seperate. The 3-D effect is really good. Not as fully dimentional as the other DVD's available for the 3-D system, but still works very well. As with the other three 3-D Slingshot DVD's available, the sound is really good too.
Overall, the movie itself is poor, but the visuals (in 3-D) and the sound (DTS) is very good. I would recommend checking out the Ultimate 3-D Collection (which includes the glasses and the three other 3-D DVD's, that is listed at Amazon.com) before purchasing Ultimate G's.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great 3D with a B movie included April 2, 2011
Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
I got this thinking it was only 3D IMAX shots, but was actually incorporated a story to make it a sort-of movie. Yes, the actors are average (and unknowns) and the story is cheesy but the 3D is absolutely incredible especially if you like flying. Just don't expect too much and you will be pleased. Oh, and the surround sound is top notch too, but IMAX movies have been good at that. A plus it that it is something the kids will enjoy (and is G rated).

Format:Blu-ray
I recently picked up a couple of the newer IMAX 3D releases, and also had a chance to get an advanced copy of "Ultimate G's: Zac's Flying Dream." I truly had no preconceived notions going into the film--with the title, I expected plenty of flying, stunts, and aerial vistas. While my experience with these films has ranged from great (The Ultimate Wave: Tahiti) to fair (Mummies: Secrets of the Pharaohs) to not-so-good (Dinosaurs: Giants of Patagonia), nothing had prepared me for this foray into a fiction based narrative. I know we're starved for exciting 3D adventures, but this one is serviceable for the kiddies only. Dramatically inert and inept, no amount of 3D flying can save this lackluster love story--yes folks, this one's a romance!

Narrative: For curiosity factor alone, a pre-teen Michael Cera is certainly an interesting draw. He plays a young boy who yearns to fly and, with the help of his steadfast gal pal, builds some disastrous mechanisms of flight. Before we can charge the parents with child endangerment, however, the story fast forwards to the present. The two are still friends and fly together in prop planes, but a boyhood rival tries some suave moves on the girl and a flight competition is staged for manly boasting rights. Then there's flying--finally! And love, too. The story is so wooden and stiff, it's almost painful. And I don't know what kind of message the film goes for as it makes the rival, an armed forces pilot, a cheater as well. Pretty distasteful actually.

Features: This is actually the first of the IMAX 3D films I've gotten with no special features. Granted, the features can be underwhelming--but this one only has trailers for other better looking films!

3D: OK, I know this is all anyone really cares about--but I'm telling you, you'd have to be pretty hard up for 3D to overlook the narrative deficiencies of this film. This is natural and clear 3D. Nothing is attempting to pop you in the face. The aerial sequences over the Grand Canyon, however, are lovely and the extra dimension does provide a singular beauty. The flying scenes, absent from the first half of the picture, are the only really effective use of the 3D technology. But mind you, there is no flying in the first 20 minutes of this 40 minute film and all the aerial shots are done from a small prop plane--so I don't really get the "Ultimate G" title which might have led me to believe in a speedier or more powerful mode of transport. Altogether unimpressive, I'm not even sure this would hold a child's interest without liberal use of the fast forward button. KGHarris, 3/11.

This movie is unwatchable. The story is terrible, the acting is even worse. If it wasn't in 3D, I'm not sure if it would have even popped up on my radar. Read more

I do not own many 3D movies yet, but this one is at the lowest of the list based on quality. The story line is horrible as well. I was hoping to get some cool airplane views. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great story for young aviators
My grandson loves airplanes and he was mesmorized by the photography. Although the storyline was a bit flat, overall it is a great dvd to have.

I suppose one of the things I have come to expect about 3D movies is they feature effects that take advantage of the 3D effect. This movie does little of that. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing Quality and Content
This 3D Blu-ray has the potential to be wonderful, but it falls short. Most of the 3D effect has ghosting throughout most of the video. Its like everything is out of focus. Read more
