hyped garbage

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

The acting in this movie is really good.

I got a box of 20 IMAX movies at a Christmas gift exchange and this was the one with the least amount of appeal to me. I've never been interested in sports or cars. In watching cars race, there's no thought required, no deep meaning. You're just supposed to be impressed by shiny fast things. This is a movie about racing cars so it will be of little interest to me.A lot of it is talk, or the movie focuses on the mechanics of making the cars. All of this might appeal to people interested in mechanics, but not me. Some of it talks about the fan base. I heard these people say NASCAR is great, but I still don't see why. There are only a couple interesting facts of science sprinkled into the film, only a couple of attention-grabbing crashes. Nothing to get too excited about.

If any does not watch nascar races and would like to know more about this is the movie to see. If you can not afford to go to a race or do not know where the races are you NEED to see this movie. Go see the movie it is real. I feel that this movie is the true way nascar needs to be seen on the BIG screen and very LOUD. The 3D effects rock you could reach out and touch the cars that have 800 horsepower the sound of 12000 watts of digtial will shake you in your seat. I have been to a real race in Texas and ther is no other event that would come close to being there live as this movie brings you closer to the action behind pit wall and in the middle of the track. GO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!

We saw the NASCAR 3D IMAX movie in Nyack, NY. I was somewhat disappointed in that much of the live racing action was not in 3D, but was super-imposed as a window. The movie itself was about an hour long, not much for 10 bucks. Basically, it's a historical review of NASCAR. I'd think you really have to be into NASCAR to entirely enjoy it. However, those that haven't seen a 3D IMAX movie will be impressed. There was a positive too. With the admission ticket you could take a free "ride" on the NASCAR silicon raceway. This normally retails for $8.50. They don't advertise it though. So, if you're at the Palisades Mall, or have a virtual NASCAR facility in your area you may want to check it out.

The lights went down, and the IMAX presentation started. We activated our goggles, and the guard rails came down. It felt a little strange at first, the weight of the goggles, the feeling of being strapped in by the bar, more like a roller coaster than a movie... Then the movie started, and what a ride! A documentary like no other, "NASCAR: 3D" captured race history to raceday in a method so akin to natural storytelling, that my jaw was permanently dropped. Placing the viewer behind the driver at 230+ miles per hour, in the grandstand, in the pits, and behind the scenes makes you feel like you are more than just there, it makes you feel like you are in the race and part of the history. See this movie. It's a true movie experience.
