Product Description

Take a thrilling look at the world of skydiving and base jumping - parachuting from a building, a bridge or a cliff. With breathtaking views of skydiving over the Florida Keys, the Mojave Desert and the magnificent Fjords of Norway, this giant-screen experience explores the psychological and physiological forces behind risk-tasking and the physics involved in high-risk activities. The film follows two top risk-takers, Adrian Nicholas and Katarina Ollikainen, as they try to fly the first parachute ever designed as imagined in 1485 by Leonardo da Vinci. Thanks to a camera strapped to one of the professional jumpers who took part in the film, you can also live through a 4,265-foot jump from a legendary Norwegian cliff. Exhibited in IMAX and other giant-screen theatres around the world, this film has been specially mixed and mastered to produce an outstanding DTS Digital Surround and Dolby Digital 5.1 home theatre experience. Disc 2 includes the complete feature in Microsoft Windows Media High Definition, playable on your PC.

Awesome

I first saw this movie at an IMAX theatre at the AIr & Space Museum in DC. I loved it then and I love it now too. It touches on some of the science involved in risk and also has gorgeous shots of different jumps. I recommend it to all of my friends and bought it just so I could show it to everybody.

good movie, 100 times better on IMax

Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2014

I saw this movie at the Clark Planetarium IMax theater in Salt Lake City, Utah, the largest IMax screen in the state. Shown in 3D, it was like you were there jumping off the cliffs and flying around.

I liked it so much I purchased it but don't care to watch it much out of the IMax theater. Obviously, the MAJOR downside is home screen size, then 3D availability. I have watched it on a 47in HD tv.

As far as content, I think the video has been disassembled and re-edited and a lot of the good content is in the special features and credits.

As with most IMax movies, this movie would be great for science classes and field trips. I wish IMax movies were longer and recycled through the IMax theaters often.

Adrenaline Rush???

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2011

Verified Purchase

The title is a little misleading. It should have been titled something like "A Study In Skydiving" or "A Skydiving Story". There was no "Adrenaline Rush" to this video and I watched it on a 46" HDTV. The vid itself does not convert to the full screen. It's not a bad movie it's just that the title has you expecting something much more. You would think for an IMAX movie it would have some awesome skydive views but no, movies a little dry. I've seen better skydive vids on YouTube. If you can borrow this movie from someone or buy it for $5 or less then I would recommend it but not worth what I paid (less than $20) and seriously not worth the $40 plus being asked for it now. Now I've been tandem skydiving and that was an "Adrenaline Rush" and that I highly recommend at least once in your life time.

I had seen this movie a few years ago at an IMAX and it was awesome then and just as good now! Well worth the small price for this good DVD.

WOOOOOW

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2008

Okay I am new to the sport of skydiving and eventually I will get into BASE jumping, but watching this DVD gave me the chills. Absolutely amazing. The IMAX footage could not be better. Even if you have the slightest interest in BASE jumping or skydiving BUY THIS DVD! It's worth every penny.

Adrenaline Rush (IMAX) (2 - Disc WMVHD Edition) (2002)

Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2007

Verified Purchase

Being the first WMVHD content disc I've purchased, I can't speak to how it might compare with other titles out there in this format, but it didn't disappoint and in fact it has inspired me to get back into skydiving. I did find it to be a little short in running time especially considering the little 'history of Adrenaline' segment which wasn't in keeping with the rest of the content. It's for these two reasons that I didn't give it a five star rating, but if you're after HD program content to play on your computer, and you don't suffer from vertigo, then this is an excellent choice.

One big rush

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2006

This is not only a knee jerking, heart stopping visual treat but and educational one as well. Unbelievable footage on base jumping and a downloadable teachers guide for those who feel to learn a little deeper of what makes them tick.

Cool...

Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2009

Verified Purchase

I give this four stars simply because the sky-diving and base jumping shots are awesome. Loved those. Didn't care much for the scientific explanations behind adrenaline junkies...really wanted more IMAX photography of the jumps themselves. Overall tho, v. cool.
