Adrenaline Rush (IMAX) (2 - Disc WMVHD Edition)

Description

Take a thrilling look at the world of skydiving and base jumping - parachuting from a building, a bridge or a cliff. With breathtaking views of skydiving over the Florida Keys, the Mojave Desert and the magnificent Fjords of Norway, this giant-screen experience explores the psychological and physiological forces behind risk-tasking and the physics involved in high-risk activities. The film follows two top risk-takers, Adrian Nicholas and Katarina Ollikainen, as they try to fly the first parachute ever designed as imagined in 1485 by Leonardo da Vinci. Thanks to a camera strapped to one of the professional jumpers who took part in the film, you can also live through a 4,265-foot jump from a legendary Norwegian cliff. Exhibited in IMAX and other giant-screen theatres around the world, this film has been specially mixed and mastered to produce an outstanding DTS Digital Surround and Dolby Digital 5.1 home theatre experience. Disc 2 includes the complete feature in Microsoft Windows Media High Definition, playable on your PC.

Realy good!.......2007-08-01

Realy realy good...
breath taking...

One big rush.......2006-11-04

This is not only a knee jerking, heart stopping visual treat but and educational one as well. Unbelievable footage on base jumping and a downloadable teachers guide for those who feel to learn a little deeper of what makes them tick.

An amazing movie.......2004-10-04

I recently had the opportunity to view this film in its original IMAX format and it was quite an amazing experience. As someone who has recently taken a strong interest in the sport of skydiving, as well as BASE jumping (which I have yet to try), I found this movie as intriguing as any I have ever seen. Not only does this movie provide continuous outstanding shots of professional skydivers and BASE jumpers from around the globe, but it also takes you in great depth, into what goes on inside a person's head, and body, when they take life to the edge. Adrenaline Rush is a fun ride, and provides spectacular insight into what makes people push life to the extreme. I would recommend this DVD to anyone who as ever thrown themselves out of plane, off of a cliff, or anyone who has even the slightest bit of Adrenaline Junkie in them.

Mediocre.......2003-08-18

As far as Imax / bigscreen films go, this was only mediocre. The resolution is not up to par (not surprising, considering the weight of a true Imax camera). This is really more of a typical PBS show for the movies. It ends well, but the content is a little thin. The air shots, though, are very good and the skydivers are talented. Seeing the da Vinci parachute is obviously unique and worth the entry price for scientific historians or parachute / skydiver aficianados.

Description

In an attempt to save their troubled relationship, Jack and Alex McGuire (Joseph Kell and Rosanna Arquette) plan a romantic getaway to a quiet seaside town. But when Jack disappears while exchanging their rental car, the dream of a better future together turns into a nightmare. The local police are more interested in implicating Jack for a murder than helping to find him, so Alex hooks up with one of Jack's clients, Sam Bryant (Chris Potter), to search on her own. They soon discover he's been kidnapped because of a 50 carat diamond that was hidden in the rental car he had been asked to return.

What the heck did Adrenalin (sp) refer to?.......2005-06-29

Was this pre-Species? Anyhow, I don't get it, what was the point of the monster..., an army experiment gone awry, a plague treatment gone awry, a CIA experiment gone awry? We're given no explanation. An Adrenalin(e) experiment gone awry? Adrenalin (sp) refers to ??? the bloodshot eyes?

This was Boston? Maybe the Boston in the Czech Republic. Our police chief did not have a Boston accent.

Interesting point- the monster uses a gun!

It was unexpected!

Can you imagine the Alien shooting at Ripley with a hand gun? It adds a strange dimension to the 'demon in the dark' sense of danger that your usual horror film goes for. That just ain't right.

Did the DVD have any extras on it- like a director commentary as to what the heck he was thinking?

Christopher Lambert Strikes Again.......2004-08-20

For anyone who thinks this is a good movie, or for anyone considering watching it, let me describe to you a little something that happens herein: one of the characters is killed in the middle of the movie, but he appears at the end unscathed -- with absolutely no explanation of what happened. And, as Dave Barry often writes, we are not making this up.

Anyway, for most of the interminable duration of "Adrenalin," Christopher Lambert, Natasha Henstridge, and some other actors I've never heard of star as cops chasing after some psycho in post-apocalyptic Boston. If that premise doesn't sound dumb enough, here are some other bad or just absurdly stupid things in this movie:

* It stars Christopher Lambert.

* It is set after an apocalypse. It was made in the 1990s. It takes place in 2008.

* There was a massive plague in Europe that caused many Europeans to come to Boston. But apparently, they brought their stucco red-roofed buildings and their police cars, which say "Policia" on the side. May I remind you again that this takes place in Boston.

* Much of the movie takes place in a dungeon (see final sentence of last point).

* The villian is really lame (if you want to call him villain, that is -- he's actually infected with an evil virus, presumably the same one that wiped out Europe). He looks like an old man dying of cancer and limps around whenever the camera is on him, but he seems to have super-powers whenever he is off-screen -- a common characteristic of villians in bad horror movies. Whenver he appears, there is also a very silly loud shriek that is often accompanied by a shot of his blood-drenched teeth. Finally, his two weapons are a curved blade and a pistol. If you have the misfortune of seeing this movie, you'll realize how dumb it looks.

* Boston has been quarrantined, and the only way to get out is with a passport. But using a fake one is punishable by death. Natasha Henstridge's character gets such a counterfeit passport for her kid to escape Boston, but it is not clear how she expects for it to fool the authorities because when she drops it at one point in the movie, Lambert exclaims: "A fake passport!"

* We do not get to see Henstridge with her shirt off. They could have at least put that in as a consolation. After all, if half way through this movie Henstridge suddendly declared that it was awfully hot and muggy in the dungeon and that she wanted to remove her clothing in order to gain some relief, it would not have made this movie any worse artistically.

* The correct spelling of the word is "adrenaline."

One final word of caution: Although the things I have listed above may make "Adrenalin" seem so bad that it's good, beware! Much of it is very boring, consisting of the cops crawling through sewars and dungeons with very little action. What little action takes place is incredibly bad, mostly consisting of Lambert getting shot in the arms and shoulders and then writhing in pain. If you want to see one of the worst movies made in the last decade, be my guest. But don't complain when you are unable to erase the hideous memory of this movie from your brain.

horrible from beginnning to end.......2003-10-17

one of Lamberts sucky films with him and Henstridge going after a man with a virus that can speard and they have to kill him before its to late. begins corny with its lame intro to the killer and its god awful few seconds late suspense music, though theres the part where Lambert gets shot up a bunch of times. strikly for nobrainers

a different kind of movie.......2002-04-06

If you're looking for a good story, performances and dialogue look somewhere else. Adrenalin: Fear the Rush (love that name!), deliberately avoids all three, preferring to concentrate on non-stop action, and low-budget action is what Albert Pyun (directer) does best.
While this doesn't appeal to many, if you get into the action you will find Adrenalin a tense and exciting journey, and never boring.

Adrenalin was a good movie.......2002-03-30

A lot of people are being harsh towards Adrenalin: Fear the Rush, when it was actually a pretty good movie. The only problem with the movie is the setting. Otherwise the plot and characters were actually pretty good. It had suspense and a few thrills. If you like science fiction type movies, atleast give this movie a chance.
