I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

Good start, but then it gets ruined

A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

I thought it was a decent IMAX production, sure to appeal to NASCAR aficionados. Personally, I thought "your" post was contrived. At least you didn't swear like most of the lowlifes who think they are a great critic, but can't spell or punctuate. I value your opinion, ...not a movie/doc of great interest to me, but many will enjoy it.. Always entitled to your opinion, and read them always but disagree with this one. Even if it appears "contrived", because non-actor race car drivers had to read from prepared scripts, and not always well, would you do any better? It was insightful, informative, and not 50 mins. I regret losing. Not Oscar material, but glad I watched it To each his own.

I've never had the pleasure of being in the cockpit of an Indy racer circling the track near top speed. However, when I pop in this DVD, crank up the surround sound, and sit about 6 feet from my high-definition widescreen TV, it's damned close to being there! All this is balanced with a side story of restoring one of Andretti's original Indy racers, compete with his test driving it again after all those years. The background music is pleasant, and the picture is just reference quality. A nice DVD to own, to watch now and again, and to demo your surround sound system!

This is a well-made documentary on the exciting world of Indy Car racing. The photography is simply outstanding. The scene were Mario Andretti drives the old racing roadster down the New England street lined with the ancient maples, leaves blown to the side by the speed of the car, is incredible. The film does lose some of its beauty on the small screen but if you like watching cars driven to their limit you should see this film.

Sure, for it's super imagery and awesome sound, it's a great home theater "show off" disk, but this is also a touching drama as well as an informative documentary. The parallel stories that are intertwined throughout this film will keep all viewers interested. Young, old, boys and girls alike will find that deep down, we are all fans of the automobile, especially the high performance indy machines that are the result of generations blood, sweat, tears, ingenuity and perseverance. The Mark Knopfler and Ry Cooder sound track is perfectly matched to the visuals and the content. I don't want to give away the ending, but the final driving sequence to Quincy Jones' "Days Like These" just might bring a tear to your eye. Enjoy it!
