Customer Reviews of Extreme Summer
be aware, this is not the imax movie! This is not the imax movie. It is just the "making of" of half
of it. Boring...
2/3 of the DVD is just the director talking about the imax camera.
Not IMAX Original, but Making-Of
This is not the IMAX original of "Extreme", but really a documentary of how they made it. In that respect, it deserves five stars. If you read about IMAX going to Everest ("Into Thin Air", etc.), you get an idea of how much more difficult it is to get large-format films made (200 pound cameras that cost $300,000). BUT, with this film, you also get behind-the-scenes interview snippets with surfers, climbers, and filmers as well as more shots of the waves and such. If you keep that in mind, you will be better off.
This is NOT the IMAX film!
I was disappointed to find that this is not the actual IMAX film transferred to DVD. Instead, it is a documentary ABOUT the IMAX film. It does indeed show some impressive footage from the original, but it was frustratingly interrupted by interviews with the director and shots of the camera crew. The disc does NOT provide the "sit-back-and-relax" experience of awesome visuals and cool music that I was expecting, as the constant voice-overs and back-and-forth switches between the beach and the studio do become annoying. It seems redundant for the disc to have a "making of" section, as the whole disc is just that. On the bright side, there is some great footage on sports that you don't easily find on DVD (or anywhere else, for that matter). I'd recommend buying it, but caveat emptor!
