This is quite an interesting journey in the history of film; we are taken on a film journey of the time and in Blu Ray you can enjoy a global trek in hi-def.

How wonderful to relive this first Cinerama film, restored so well by the talented crew. Unfortunately it wasn't available Region Free so I had to purchase a Region A player as well as the Blu-ray itself, but if a film means so much to you, you do it. The roller coaster ride was unforgettable and my other personal favourite was the Temple Dance from Aida, then the ballet during the grand march and chorus scene.You never forget the impact of a Cinerama production as a young person, much like Imax and Imax 3D today.When Cinerama came out to Australia we already had seen Cinemascope and Todd-AO, but it had quite a different effect, drawing you into the movemet. All together a great product and historically so important. Peter Hutley, Newcastle, Australia.

iiiiiiiIts been many many years since as a young lad i first saw this movie in London at the Casino Theatre and like many others was knocked out by it - loved proper widescreen movies ever since [its not widescreen today, just a cheap ripoff], this version goes a long way via the SMILEBOX image to restore somewhat how it felt if you were sitting in the rear stalls, i actually sat in about the eigth row from the front stalls - inside the curve of the screen! The sound system also was fantastic unlike anything ever heard before in a cinema {the early Fox Cinemascope movies of the middle fifties used Directional Stereo Sound also very thrilling and lifelike - Dolby Digital has never matched that experience] The restoration of this film considering the lack of resorses is quiet outstanding [thanks again to original Technicolor stock being used instead of Eastman or De-Luxe.For the new generation who have never seen CINERAMA or for the older generation who would love to re live the thrill all over again then you can do no worse than treat yourself to this fantastic dvd.
