Imax: Stormchasers (2pc) (Full Ws Dol Dts) Reviews
Pass on this one. . .
This was a very disappointing DVD. IMAX has some great stuff but this was NOT one of them. The additional "Making footage" adds to the disappointment. 1. They mentioned how they had to make their own monsoon. This is moderately amusing until you learn (in the "making") that India was in the middle of a drought and they had tons of water trucked in to satisfy a deskbound producer who insisted they do it. 2. Wow, a plane flying through a hurricane. Great footage of the pilots looking out the windows at. . .white. Should you be impressed by the crew bouncing around? Not really. Especially when they pull back (again, during the "making") from the bouncing crew member to find a cameraman/technician lying down kicking his chair. Why? Because, (chuckle chuckle) the frames for the IMAX cameras are so good you can't really tell the crew is bouncing. . . . ? The footage from the glider sent to snag lightning is pretty darn good, but that is the only plus I give this DVD. In conclusion, don't waste your money.
Good
This is good for what it is - a short IMAX film about stormchasing. Most IMAX films are 45 minutes or less, so a viewer should not be expecting a real-life two hour version of Twister. It also covers a lot of material, so it doesn't go into depth. Also, the team fails to see tornadoes and then when they get one, they run out of film (this often happens in IMAX because they can only shoot something like 90 seconds at a time). Overall, though, pretty good.
