Product Description

Amazon.ca

The greatest basketball player of all time gets an appropriate clip reel in this 45-minute documentary, which was originally released in the IMAX format. While you can't simulate IMAX's 80-foot-high screen in your living room, you can still get the thrills and awe-inspiring footage of this tribute to one man's talent and endurance. Much of the original footage was shot during the 1997 NBA Finals between the Chicago Bulls and the Utah Jazz. With great behind-the-scenes footage and terrific game material, the film gets close to Jordan in practice and on the court. And the film includes a number of greatest hits, including his commercials and most memorable dunks. Still, while there are intriguing interviews with everyone from former Bulls coach Phil Jackson to professional Jordan hanger-on Bob Greene, this film seems a little self-serving at times (Jordan's company coproduced it). Also, some key voices from that team are conspicuously absent, including Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, and Ron Harper. In the end, however, it's all about the highlights--and Jordan's career (and his NBA finale) was one long one. --Marshall Fine

Special Features

In a 21-minute feature, the filmmakers (but not Jordan himself) discuss various aspects of Michael Jordan to the Max, particularly how Matrix-style technology was used to film one of Jordan's signature moves--a dunk launched from the free-throw line. The computer graphics are displayed more closely in a 2-minute segment "Michael Jordan Bullet Time Slam Dunk."

2.0 out of 5 stars Ultimate Jordan is a lot better Mar 3 2004
By A Customer
Format:DVD
I bought this DVD with great anticipation only to be let down. Sure the visuals are great but I'm more interested in the plays that made the Jordan experience special. The Ultimate Jordan is a much better DVD.

3.0 out of 5 stars The tale of a man and his basketball. Jan 12 2004
By IhateMTV
Format:DVD
I've always been a huge fan of Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls (especially since I live in Illinois). I went to an IMAX theater to watch this documentary. Once I got there, the IMAX screen was huge and looked nice (something that I would later realize was more of a hassle than a benefit). For starters, the screen was so big that you're constantly looking around you just to see the movie. But enough about my personal experiences and how I dislike the IMAX screen, lets get on with the actual movie/documentary(This is a standard documentary to me, but it seems like some people insist on calling it a movie). I have to be completely honest here: "Michael Jordan to the Max" is somewhat boring. Don't get me wrong, it well documents some of the highlights of M.J.'s career, but even a person that said he was one of Michael's biggest fans was sleeping during it. I suppose this documentary is something nice to have to complete your M.J. highlight DVDs, but some might find this thing to be a little boring.

5.0 out of 5 stars Decent Jan 5 2004
By Randy Given
Format:DVD
I did not see this on the IMAX screen (but I have seen other films, so I can extrapolate somewhat). There is good background on Michael Jordan and some good shots. A lot of it focuses on the Chicago Bulls versus Utah Jazz rounding out MJ's career, but it is done well. Some things are his baseball career and the positive influences of his father are worthy additions. Overall, good for any basketball fan, especially fans of MJ.
