Wonderful character development!

Just so...so bad

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

I've been a fan of the TT since I was 12, and finally got to see one in person in 2015. It was everything I'd hoped for, and more.I've done some racing, and worked in the media, so I'm more critical than average when it comes to racing films. Until I watched Closer to the Edge, there was only one film that I considered "great", and that was Le Mans, with Steve McQueen. Now, there are two of what I consider great; ... Le Mans and Closer to the Edge.This film is absolutely perfect, from start to finish. The camera work, music and the editing, ... especially the editing (by Beverley Mills), are excellent. If the camera work, edits and music during the run-up to the Senior TT don't give you goose-bumps, you aren't alive.I only wish I'd seen this in a theater, in 3D, instead of on my computer screen. But on the other hand, I wouldn't be able to stop and replay scene after scene in a theater, or pause it to catch my breath every few minutes.Everyone involved in the making of this excellent look at an amazing event should be proud of their work.

I saw the film in Maidstone and it was stuck in the smallest of the screens at a multiplex and it was packed. There was a cross section of bikers on bikers, bikers like me in the car, plus lots of people that might not be bikers at all.Having been to the TT quite a few times I thought I knew what to expect. I have seen on-bike coverage many times but the 3D element of this one was superb. As a documentary it was very well put together and we got to see both aspects of the the lives of the riders both current and past.I can't wait for the sequel based on the 2011 TT!!!

I have lived on the Isle of Man all my life but have never really taken much of an interest in the TT (I've watched a few races but I usually have exams during TT week), this film made this years TT very exciting! The film follows legendary TT maverick Guy Martin and a few other riders as they prepare for (and race in) the 2010 TT, even if you know nothing about motorbikes you'll quickly be engaged by the likable Guy Martin and the adrenaline fueled footage of racing. "TT3D" quickly introduces you to an exciting subculture in which riders race not for financial gain but for the thrill of traveling at over 120 mph on one of the most dangerous courses in the world. The documentary not only demonstrates the thrill of the sport but also explores the danger which the riders face and the consequences of when it all goes wrong. The real attraction though has to be the race footage; This film is what 3D was made for! "TT3D" will have you on the edge of your seat in a way in which high-budget Hollywood CGI could never come close to! I really could not recommend this film enough, whether you're a hardened TT veteran or a motor sport virgin you're sure to walk out the cinema as a serious petrol head!

Forget that it's a documentary, forget that it's about motorbike racing, this is simply a fantastic movie, with more tension and heart than almost anything I've seen on the screen this year - or any year.Sometimes a documentary really captures the human condition the way feature films find it hard to do. It happened in Anvil:The Story of Anvil and it happens in TT3D. I defy anyone not to fall in love with this movie within minutes of the opening shots, which are possibly the only poor shots in the film - rider-eye-views of the TT track which should have been terrifying but which suffer for the lack of a horizon in the framing. At this point your girlfriend might be excused for wondering whether she could drag you out of TT3D and into Pirates of the Caribbean before she misses a single frame of Johnny Depp.But these moments are brief, and as soon as Guy Martin pops onto the screen with his eccentric, selfish, bawdy, but strangely innocent, obsession about winning a TT race, you know you're in for an amazing ride, and so it proves. With just the right mix of characters, contemporaneous footage and vintage thrills and spills, TT3D takes you on an incredible journey into a place where glory is often harder to come by than death.Like Anvil and the outstanding The World's Fastest Indian, this is a movie that transcends its subject matter and takes you on a white-knuckle ride through the Isle and the soul of Man.
