    Closer to the Edge.

    Wow, what a great movie, the sound is awesome and awesome camera work, would love to see it in 3d, has anyone else seen it and what did you think? The two big crashes in it were spectacular!!

    have seen, and yes its brilliant. I honestly didnt think the 3d added that much to it, but im a techno-grinch.

    Must get a copy I think, worth watching again.

    Seen it in 3D, tbh I don't really care 3D or not in movies. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news...ectid=10775084 "Best motor-racing film of 2011"
    I have to agree. Good to see they paid their respect for Dobsy.

    Saw it in 3D and to be honest didn't really notice? Maybe a couple of scenes.

    I thought as far as motor documentaries go, Senna was better.

    I watched it and I really enjoyed it. Didn't get the chance to see it in 3D though.

    Yeah i loved the movie too. I brought it on blueray the other day from Amazon.uk. No one in NZ seemes to be selling it. It cost me 24quid (approx $35NZD inc postage at the time). It arrived after one week. The blueray included 3D and 2D as well as a DVD version all in the same box. Sound is epic and watching it in full HD never gets old. Even my loves the movie!!

    The 3d was a token gesture as most of the wow moments were old stock footage which of course never filmed by 3d cameras.

    It was a pretty below average IOMTT documentary but an unbelievably likeable, hillarious and astounding Guy Martin ducomentary. I give a 4.5 out of 5. If Guy wasn't the focus of it, it would have got a 1.5 instead.

    Watched it in 3d twice and have watched it three times since on DVD, well, hard drive... love it so much and really want to go to the TT sometime.. It's definitely on the to do list.

    The 3d really doesn't do anything for me, within the first two minutes you forget about it and all your concentration is focussed on trying to understand what the hell Guy Martin is saying... He's so hard to understand, I swear he's not speaking English half the time. But hilarious anyway.

    Yeah it was alright, most of the footage is on YouTube.

    Though 'fastest' was a much better film.

    Yeah I feel a bit the same way. Mr Martin is a real character. I hope he wins one soon...
