Great fun to be learned by all!

Thrill Ride is educational, while still living up to its name. Having enjoyed this while it was in IMAX theaters, I was extremely excited to see it on the small screen. Be warned, though, that if you view it on a large enough screen, you're likely to be pretty nauseous by the end. Even on a 19" screen you will still feel your stomach jerked this way and that. After the IMAX experience, it was a few hours before I recovered. Who knew nausea could be so fun?
A history of thrill rides, this film takes a deliberate slant toward motion simulators as we get closer to our own time. Since this is a movie about thrill rides, and not just roller coasters, that made sense to me. The history and technology behind thrill rides are cut in with fly-throughs of a few rides, some famous and some created (I believe) just for Thrill Ride. There's even a pretty good-sized chunk of the Back to the Future ride from Universal.
If you have even a passing interest in amusement park rides (especially motion simulators), or if you have a home theater projector, *definitely* get this movie. |
