CirqueDuSoleil

by snugabuga

I have always wanted to see them, and it was worth waiting for. It was so beautiful the backgrounds the costumes,and especially the performers ,they were spectacular.You were drawn into the story from beginning to end. You didn't want the story to end.

Loved it!

by

Beautiful visual feast. The music was lovely and at times almost lulled me to sleep but the action, vibrancy and colors kept me awake. Went with three friends and everyone agreed that it was wonderful. Would enjoy seeing it again.

Beautiful experience

by Mr Critique

Not really sure what to expect, but there were many vignettes taken from active shows across the world and expertly woven into a love story. Physical feats were unbelievable but then again...that is Cirque du Soleil. Go see it....you won't be disappointed.

Cirque du Soleil's Worlds Away 3D Technically Outstanding

by cunning2

Wonderful movie and I encourage moviegoers to see it. Having been to five Cirque du Soleil live performances, this was really, really good but not as spectacular as the live performance. That being said, this is worth seeing. The cameras caught angles a live audience would never see, like from above the performers. The storyline is wonderful and the performers are simply the best in the world. I urge everyone to see this movie.

Just didn't get there.

I love Cirque du Soleil, and have seen them twice before. I was very much looking forward to this, and can't begin to tell you how disappointed I was. The sound was flat, and the 3d was dull and lacked good depth. There were some good parts, with the ending being beautiful. However, I would NOT recommend this it any fan.

WOW

It's so unusal for a movie, and you have to have a open mind... But all in all it was so extint and in rare form. The beauty of the performances was Breath-taking!!! Memorizing performances, About 15 minutes into the film, I thought to myslef that the first 15-20 minutes paid for itself(3D ticket prices)... Try something new and rare, Go see it...

Cheaper then a trip to Vegas- Flight, hotel, show tickets, snacks... Ummm No brainer! Go see this while you can!

Beautiful and inspiring to viewers fo all ages

by

I really enjoyed the movie. I have been to a few Cirque do Soleil shows and this is certainly no substitute for the real thing. However, for those who may not have the opportunity to experience that, it is a lovely experience.
I went with two adult friends and the audience was full of children. Not only were my friends inspired and awed by the aesthetics, the children in the audience were utterly entranced throughout the movie. There were a couple of little voices asked questions midst it, but for the most part they were totally absorbed. It was beautiful to watch them at the end of the movie as several broke into feats of gymnastics or their own dance routines inspired by the music of the closing credits.
All in all, if you're looking to spend an hour and a half of just pleasure and beauty, I strongly recommend this movie.

Stellar production and great story line

by

While this movie may not be for everyone, if you are the type who really enjoys theater and amazing imagery, you have to see it. I was blown away by the not only the show put on by the Cirque performers, but also use of vibrant color, explosive sound and multiple camera angles which allowed the viewer to experience the show on a greater level than if they were sitting in a seat at a live show. While the movie contains no dialogue, it allows the viewer to be immersed in the experience through emotion and make connections to the actors. A true must see for anyone who enjoys the theater experience.

Cirque, there is nothing like it!

by Jasperdogg

3D is always fun, and so is Cirque so you can't beat this combo. Nothing compares to a live Cirque show, but this is the next best thing. Very affordable way to see Cirque if you haven't been to a live show and would like a fine sampling of what you will see at one. The cool thing about this movie is that you get great close-ups of acts and performers that you could never see in even the best seats at a real show. The artistic element also pops even more so than a live show. Each has their advantages. It's my goal to see everything Cirque during the course of my lifetime so I couldn't miss it and you shouldn't either. Cirque Du Soleil is simply the best. Why are you still sitting here reading this, you should be ordering your tickets !

Worth seeing but a different animal from live Cirque altogether

by Monopolist

Uses elements and magic from many Cirque shows to weave a beautiful narrative. If you haven't seen a Cirque show, this is an inexpensive way to experience some of Cirque's magic. I've seen several Cirque shows and I'll outline what I liked and disliked about the movie:
Liked:
The ability to see details and perspectives missing from the audience of a live Cirque show.
The ability to zoom over and through the action.
Much more sense of individual character and performance detail.

Disliked:
Less flow. Part of the Cirque magic is the ability to experience the flow of incredible performances. There were many times when the camera cuts pulled me away from something I wanted to see or otherwise interrupted the flow.
Not enough big picture: The focus on individual and tight shots, deprived me of one of the things I love best about Cirque: the feeling of being overwhelmed at the totality and collective artistry of the troop on stage.

Net: Worth seeing!

Breath taking

by Messyteacher

Music captivating.
Visual beautiful
Did not like the Beatle section. Personally did not think it went with all the other beautiful parts.
Would love to see again.

Cirque Du Soleil - Worlds Away

by rebapoda

When I learned it was a love story I was a little bit worried but t ended up being AMAZING! It makes you really want to go see a Cirque Du Soleil show! Amazing costumes and props, and the 3D was great too! Too bad it was only one showing. They need to make more movies like this. There was no speaking in the movie, but it didn't need it! It told a weird yet somewhat emotional story. Everyone of all ages would really enjoy it!

Great show!!

by

Contained elements of all the Cirque du Soleil shows in the Las Vegas casinos, but at a much better price. Also, you were closer to the action than if you were in the audience at a live casino performance, due to the great photography. Highly recommend it - maybe for older children though.

If you love Cirque - it's a must see

by

Like being front row for the best parts of many of the Cirque shows. They tried to piece it together into a story line which didn't exactly work - but it was visually stunning and incredible to watch.

Cirque non-lovers may not enjoy, as my viewing companions didn't love it as I did.

WOW!

by DVDnut

What a great way to see the best parts of many Cirque shows from the comfort of a theater near you. Loved the camera angles and the 3D effects. Makes me want to hop to Vegas right now to see a live show. But this is the next best thing.
