Cirque du Soliel: Worlds Away: Something New Under the Sun

by sid411

An awesome adventure! Cirque du Soliel: Worlds Away is a love story with a heroine who speaks only two words and a hero who never speaks at all. It is an amazing, exotic, somewhat erotic journey into the worlds of the circus, of dance, acrobatics, gymnastics, and clowning, of the shadow sides of life, full of mystery.

This movie is outside the box at every level: 3D that is used well, not overwhelming; real people with images from anime; cultures and costumes from all over this world, and music that seems out of this world.

At one point, an aerialist inside a cube becomes a juggler spinning and tossing the same cube. This, to me, is what Worlds Away is all about - the human capacity to turn life inside out, see things in new ways, and create wonder.

Absolutely fantastic! Cirque delivers a true experience.

by

I have been to a number of real time Cirque shows so I was wondering if seeing it in film would take away from the experience. Needless to say my concerns were so wrong. This is a fabulous Cirque journey that takes you through so many of their amazing performances but binds them so cohesively and beautifully. I was mesmerized from the beginning to end and as with all the Cirque shows, when the end came I found myself wanting more.

Bravo Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away.

Should be a rated G movie - it is a circus!

by bbhousheold

Unfortunately, due to ONE act, and one act only, this movie should have been rated R. The movie is well made and my kids (ages 4,6,11, and 13) were able to sit for the whole length of it. But there is an act that belongs in Las Vegas, and las Vegas only, that made even me (and I am over 40!) extremely uncomfortable. If I had known this, and I had a choice, I would NOT have gone to the movie.

Pretty amazing

by Ashleighstrong

My mother and I love these shows! She has been to a bunch of them in Vegas but said that this movie was a totally new experiance! The action is right in your lap! If you have never seen one of these shows you will be hooked after this movie! That is of course if you like acrobatics and arial proformance! I really enjoyed it, even though nothing can replace the real thing, this is a much more affordable option!

If you've never had the chance to see a live event, see the movie!

by pureplurgirl

I myself fall into that category and I've always wanted to see a show. This movie just made that desire even more prevalent. The cinematography was beautiful and the performers just made me stare in wonder. If you have the opportunity, please see this while you can at a theater.

PURE ART

The movie was well put together. If you have never researched or watched a live performance, you may not understand it. There are 7 Cirque du Soleil shows and you are treated to a small piece of each one in this love story. Enjoy.

This is AWESOME!!!! GO!!!

by SUGARLAKES

This is SO beyond "so-so"..I've been to Cirque several times. Not having the multi -hundreds of dollars it costs to sit front row I have sat in the "cheap seats"($100). If you want to be able to see the real artistry with a" front row seat you are there" feel go to this. I enjoyed it better than the real thing. It was the best of any number of shows from Vegas. For aerialists making catches on equipment or with each other you get close-ups sometimes in slo-mo so that you can see the danger and beauty of it. You get underwater shots that you can't see live. The 3D doespn't jump out at youI It gives the sets the depth and feel of being there. You want to applaud after each scene. For $10 (bargain matinee) I didn't have to fight traffic, pay for parking or use binoculars to see anything up close. I will go back and see it again. This is a great way to see Crique if you never have. None of the stunts these artisits do is easy. Appreciate how much training it takes. GO!!

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.

Not the real thing

by wseright

If you are interested in seeing a Cirque performance, this is not the movie to see. There have been other videos created of Cirque shows that are truly magical. But, in my opinion, this entire movie is only an infomercial to make you want to see other cirque shows. There is more "acting" and "emoting" in this movie than there is actual circus type performances. If you want to see the real Cirque, then go see a real show. The most disturbing part of the actual performance pieces is they have been chopped up to try to show you the highlights of the performances, but you see a person moving in one direction doing one thing, then they flash to the same person either jumping forward or backward in time from a different angle repeating what they did or doing something else. It makes the performances look like they were patched together rather than performed by skilled artisans. Save your money.

Not for kids

by rubybeach

Even though is a PG rating the movie is dark and scary at times, the costumes, makeup and musci can be a bit too much for youngsters.
We felt the movie was looong and we wanted to be over.
Geat acrobats, great costumes and show but you need to be into this to really apreciate all, if not is a waste of everything.

Removes all the magic of a Cirque Show

by hayofray

While the performers are outstanding, the moment you sit back and begin to enjoy the performances they cut away to a different angle or different element of the stage show. The camera is in strange places which does nothing to help capture the magic of the Cirque experience. Save your money and go to a live show and skip this expensively shot but inadequate infomercial.

Great movie

by abaymovielover

I am a big fan of Cique de Soleil shows and this was a beautiful montage of some of their best shows. I've seen most of them in person but never had a chance to see the characters so closely and that made it more fascinating. The story line strung all the scenes from the different shows together so well. And, having it 3D really made it come alive. I highly recommend it!
