Until you've seen NASCAR: The IMAX Experience, you haven't really seen NASCAR. Even without the advantage of a gigantic IMAX screen and 70-millimeter 3-D projection, this 48-minute IMAX film is a perfect primer for newcomers to the sport of stock-car racing. Like all IMAX films it's aimed at a mainstream audience (hardcore NASCAR fans won't learn anything new here), so it covers a broad spectrum of general history, technical information, and pure high-speed adrenaline, from NASCAR's origins in 1947 to the oval-track highlights of the 2003 season. While Lonesome Dove director Simon Wincer captures the action (including some amazing mid-pack and cockpit footage during actual races), Kiefer Sutherland narrates an informative survey of season-long activities, from car building and safety measures at Mooresville, North Carolina, to pit-crew practice, transportation logistics, constant danger and its effect on drivers' wives and families, and the aerodynamics of drafting. Interesting trivia (each tire costs $389!) is included along with driver profiles and a compilation of memorable race finishes, but it's the IMAX footage that makes this a thrill-a-minute DVD, perfect for anyone who's just beginning to enjoy the world's fastest (and fastest-growing) sport. --Jeff Shannon

 No Big Deal December 26, 2008

The overall impact is fine, but this isnt the title to get if you were wanting gritty realism paired to IMAX. Examples: in one scene a crash is shown from a distance, and they animate in a tire (which detaches and flies straight for the camera.) And they put an IMAX camera in a cup car and send a group out in a non-race situation, and then constantly refer back to this footage *as if* it was showing racing action. Its a staged interpretation of racing. The overall effect of the movie is fine, but it lacks intensity- and the intensity it tries to create is usually phony.
 Raceing Is My Life January 13, 2008
Along with the little people in the cubes my son loves NASCAR anything. So along with a book, Dale Ernhardt Sr DVD and a few other things, I got him this DVD. He loves it. Says it's great.
NASCAR IMAX DVD December 22, 2007
Got this for my 4yr old twins who are obsessed with NASCAR. They've learned numbers from watching all the cars flash by! I thought there'd be more racing footage, crashes, etc... but this is more of a documentary. Despite this, the boys love this video and they've learned the history/background of how NASCAR originated and what goes on behind the scenes. I am also glad it's only about 45 min so they are not in front of the tube all day! For crashes and explosions we'll have to go to Youtube.
Fun and informative November 30, 2007
Very interesting film for Nascar fans. The book takes you behind the scenes to see what goes into building the cars that you see on the track. It also presents the more personal sided of the drivers which I found very interesting. I bought this for my 6 year old and he enjoyed it, though he doesn't ask to watch it all the time.
Good start! October 10, 2007
NASCAR - The IMAX Experience
NASCAR - The IMAX Experience is a good place to start for those who have not followed NASCAR closely, or who have never attended a NASCAR race. The plot line of the movie briefly covers the history of NASCAR including its well-known roots in moonshine running all cleverly recreated, and then loosely follows the pre race prep of a typical team. Behind the scenes footage at this point is very good and the race scenes are also good. To get five stars I would have wished for much much more onboard footage and for cameras to be placed in strategic locations to open up the behind the scenes activities during the race. That's a lot to ask for but there it is.
Overall, a good film at a very reasonable price that would appeal to novice or younger NASCAR enthusiasts.
