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 3D

by stuartcohn

Beautiful filming. Could have done without weak love story line. Good tool for Cirque to market their live performances which we have seen twice and enjoyed very much. Good film for any age as is live experience.

CIRQUE Du SOLEIL

by thedoctor777

I was disappointed in this film. I have seen Cirque du Soleil live. It is a fantastic event. The costumes are wonderful and the abilities of the performers is beyond belief. This film is basically a filming of one of their shows. The reason I can only give it a so/so reviews is that the excitement and the WOW factor of seeing it live was missing. In fact I found it to be slow in parts. I love Cirque du Soleil and will see them again when they come back this year. This film does not do them justice. I think they must be seen in person to be amazed beyond your wildest dreams.

Wonderful, but had its moments

by valeenolan

We had already seen a live version of Cirque De Soleil and that was eye riveting. The movie was wonderful and I was very impressed! My over all experience went well except for when we got there. We bought our tickets online through Fandango so we would not have to stand in line. As it turned out we had to stand in line for 20 minutes and the line for the box office, at any given moment, was no more than 5 people. It was my opinion that the theater was not prepared for the people who had online tickets. When we arrived at the theater, there was a sign above each door telling you which door you should go through if you had online tickets and a door that specified box office. Apparently both doors were for online tickets and the box office was clear to the left. Some other customers and myself were left wondering why we even bothered to buy the tickets online. Although that was a minor irritant, the movie was great and we enjoyed it very much!

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.

Well Worth It - Can't Say Enough

by travelbob51

For those of us who have seen Cirque in person this movie comes close to the same experience. One differing factor are the camera shots. Those close-ups show the beauty, effort and skill of these performers; better then what you see from the orchestra seats. On the other side the close up camera shots miss the overall performance of the entire cast. Overall the experience is superb. There needs to be more of these performance films in 3D.

Loved this movie, felt like I was right there enjoying those amazing athletes! 3D made it for me, would have been a waste to see it any other way!

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.

Cirque du Soleil 3D

by evefrazier1956

We have been fans for many years of Cirque du Soleil and have seen several live shows. This was a different way to see it but we enjoyed it.

Disappointing

by SilverGodYouko

When the movie started, it had a kind of Alice in Wonderland quality to. A young girl attending the circus falls for an aerialist at first sight, but when their eyes meet he misses a swing and begins to fall to the ground. But rather than a deadly impact, the ground turns to quicksand, sucking him and, and the girl chases after. The premise seems spectacular until you get to the meat of the story. While the scenes that were filmed specifically of the girl on her search for the aerialist are quite good and interesting, the film is roughly stitched together with scenes from other Cirque du Soleil performances that have absolute zero connection to the storyline. Chunks at a time you are introduced to long, drawn out scenes with no context and no appearance of the main characters. It's just filler. Beautiful filler, of course, but the fact that it's such a jarring transition from the narrative, it really takes away from the skill of the performers and the movie just falls apart.

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.

It Was Great

by pookat

I've seen 2 live shows and they were expensive. If you want to save some money then go see this in 3D. It was very, very enjoyable. I went last night with my husband and a friend of ours and we all loved it

Beautiful Film

by FilmScore78

Visually, musically, and acrobatically stunning. You've already read that it's a flimsy storyline, but that's not why you should see anything by Cirque. You should see it to be overwhelmed by the artistic magnificence.
