rebecca-ry 'TT3D: Closer to the Edge' is probably the best documentary I've seen in a while. To put it into perspective, I know very little about motor bikes and even less about motorcycle racing. If you also know nothing about the TT Isle of Man racing tournament then this documentary gives you a great explanation of the whole thing. With stories from motorcyclists and workers at the races and with some narrative which occurs infrequently throughout the film, you begin to have a decent knowledge about this. The documentary aspect itself is pretty good but not great. The narration of the film is a bit too infrequent and uneven at some points but it does provide a great deal of information. It is the people in this documentary that make it great; Guy Martin, who becomes the focus of the film, is simply hilarious. An immediately likable person, Guy provides a lot of comedy in the film and you end up wanting him to win at least one race by the end of the film. The camera work is pretty spectacular, there's good use of sweeping landscape shots across the Isle of Man but also the footage from bikers' helmets as they are racing on the TT is quite terrifying because it shows you just how fast and how dangerous the circuit is.Overall, if you think this film looks interesting but haven't watched it because you feel you don't know enough about it, watch it. It explains everything so well and by the end of it you have a great understanding of the races.

Daniel Howarth Being a huge fan of the Isle of Man TT since Moving to the Island in 2008, I was highly looking forward to this film. I went to the cinema to watch it the day it released, and Pre-Ordered the DVD as early as I could. I was happy to see a good turn out of people while queuing for our screen, which is something not normally accomplished by a biking or Motorsport in general related film.Once we were in and the lights dimmed, we were all immediately hurled into the lives of the riders, Spectators and organizers of the TT. The Atmosphere was electrifying and the 3D was superbly pulled off. I sat in absolute awe as I was tossed through turns, surrounded by the noises of the machines that I love. I felt the nerves of the riders as they built up to the races and the Elation of each as they Flew at breakneck speeds through the twists and turns of the TT circuit. Suddenly though I was hit by the shock, and the feeling of dread as terrifying incidents take place.Overall the film transfers across the feelings of the riders and spectators in a truly tremendous fashion, often leaving you speechless. This film is a must watch for any biking enthusiast. That being said there is absolutely No reason to not go and see this even if you are not normally attracted to the sport. The film Shows the humanity that is involved in any sport that comes with risk, and shows how people cope with the loss of fellow riders or loved ones. This film shows the true strength of the human spirit and the willingness to risk life and limb for what you truly love doing. The point is raised that anyone who has died doing this, knows the risks, and has passed Happily doing what the Love.The message to take from this film is to live life to its fullest. Live it doing what you Enjoy most. Even if that means Living life on the edge.

andi_bowbrick The film was watched in 2D Blu ray DVD.Before this film I knew of the TT but that was about it, I'd say this film is a beautifully put together account of the competition and the characters involved. It shows the passion of everyone associated with the event, be they competitor, Marshall, official or part of the dedicated fan base of the event.I certainly don't consider myself a biker and you don't have to be to totally understand what drives people to want to be involved in the TT.The film has lighter moments intertwined with some poignant recollections and is a fascinating watch.

spudlum It's been said that it's characters that make good films, a quality character can carry a film and make it engaging, no matter about anything else within it. And if that is indeed the case, this film epitomises that.The film is based around a man called Guy Martin, just an ordinary man, but he has the best personality you will find on screens this year. You are with him for pretty much the entirety of the film, and he makes every minute an absolute joy.The film works extremely well as a documentary, it takes something the average Joe wouldn't know anything about, and you come out the other end with a healthy knowledge of it all, ready to go and show off to everyone. It starts roughly 2 weeks before the start of the 2009 TT, and gives you a decent background on all the contenders and bikes and works it's way up to the event at a good pace, it doesn't rush to it and doesn't dwell on certain occurrences for any longer than it needs to. It then gives a full overview of the race week, the races and behind the scenes of Guy Martin and an insight to some of the politics of the event, meaning it will still give give deeper information to people that already are aware of the Isle Of Man TT.I would happily sit and watch Guy Martin talk to the camera for hours on end, but where it really pulls in it's audience is with the driving it's self. And I am pleased to say that it is presented immaculately, the 3D is some of the best i've seen in live action and whereas it's not essential to enjoy the movie, it really does engross you further and make the whole film seem more of an experience. There are tons of cameras scattered around the course, so there is pretty much full coverage of every twist and turn, that will leave you wincing at the speed they're travelling next to solid rock walls. The raw speed and power they get is shown of beautifully with the variety of shots used around, it makes sure you feel like your experiencing it and does so very well.TT3D is a film that will stay with you as an experience for the great personalities of the racers that risk their life every time they go out to race, the raw racing skill and above all else it will give you the closest experience to being in one of the most dangerous races there is around, so you too can get a taste of the Isle Of Man TT.
