Product Description

Like all Cirque du Soleil productions, Journey of Man is a showcase for transcendent beauty and astonishing physical achievement. Originally produced as a 3-D IMAX presentation, this 39-minute film remains impressive on smaller screens, although its guiding theme (the evolution of humankind through the power of dreams, faith, and love) is sweetly contrived. It's the way this theme is expressed that matters: elements of Cirque du Soleil's awe-inspiring stage act are performed amidst wondrous settings, accompanied by Benoît Jutras's inspiring score, and metaphorically representing the birth, growth, and maturity of "the Universal Child." The journey of man comes full circle to the sustaining belief that all things are possible. It's this point that is best expressed by the remarkable feats of Cirque du Soleil's lavishly costumed performers, including a uniquely graceful underwater ballet, swooping bungee- cord choreography, two precisely balanced human "statues" in perfect synchronicity, and other wonders that must be seen to be believed. --Jeff Shannon

BRAVO! BRAVO!
[5 stars except for the extremely flat vowelled narration - sorry Ian ....it's just too preachy and jarring for the rest O'Toole? Better.....]
However, this is the kindof experience one needs after a long long week - just get home put this in theplayer and relax - like a bath for the soul and no aftertaste!

This DVD is amazing, the visual effects, the performance of the artist, colors and the music. This DVD is a "must have" in your collection. If you don't have any of the dvd's of the Cirque du Soleil is a great buy the 3 pack (Journey of man, Dralion and Quidam) those 3 are great!

This is an excellent movie whith high quality 3D pictures. Have seen it many times and will keep seeing it again with friends. I use it generally to demonstrate the stunning quality of 3D high definition movies on a 3 meter wide projection screen.

Excellent 3D film
We loved this 3D movie production of Cirque du Soleil. It's great to see a Cirque production in movie version and in 3D it's absolutely fantastic!

I've showed this Blu ray to friends and family. Everyone loves it. Picture, sound, effects are great. Only downfall is that the video is 35 minutes.

I love Cirque du Soleil but........
this DVD is much too short(only 38 minutes) for the price they charge. While aesthetically pleasing, this short film contains a paucity of performances from the shows..... Read more
