Highly Overrated But Still Good

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

As someone with just a passing interest in bike racing, but a devotee of the Isle of Man, I felt I just had to get this DVD as you can't visit the island without knowing/finding the TT heritage.If there's a better motor bike racing DVD anywhere I'd like to know what it is, as this DVD is utterly fabulous. Guy Martin steals the show in a quirky/mad sort of way but the DVD just explains to the common punter why these people put their lives at risk doing insane speeds along public roads.Fantastically well photographed with all the action sections the only downer is, as someone else has mentioned, the American commentary - which somehow doesn't seem to fit well with what is a particular Manx/British (yes I know it isn't British but....) event.Truly great stuff.

Being a huge fan of the Isle of Man TT since Moving to the Island in 2008, I was highly looking forward to this film. I went to the cinema to watch it the day it released, and Pre-Ordered the DVD as early as I could. I was happy to see a good turn out of people while queuing for our screen, which is something not normally accomplished by a biking or Motorsport in general related film.Once we were in and the lights dimmed, we were all immediately hurled into the lives of the riders, Spectators and organizers of the TT. The Atmosphere was electrifying and the 3D was superbly pulled off. I sat in absolute awe as I was tossed through turns, surrounded by the noises of the machines that I love. I felt the nerves of the riders as they built up to the races and the Elation of each as they Flew at breakneck speeds through the twists and turns of the TT circuit. Suddenly though I was hit by the shock, and the feeling of dread as terrifying incidents take place.Overall the film transfers across the feelings of the riders and spectators in a truly tremendous fashion, often leaving you speechless. This film is a must watch for any biking enthusiast. That being said there is absolutely No reason to not go and see this even if you are not normally attracted to the sport. The film Shows the humanity that is involved in any sport that comes with risk, and shows how people cope with the loss of fellow riders or loved ones. This film shows the true strength of the human spirit and the willingness to risk life and limb for what you truly love doing. The point is raised that anyone who has died doing this, knows the risks, and has passed Happily doing what the Love.The message to take from this film is to live life to its fullest. Live it doing what you Enjoy most. Even if that means Living life on the edge.

It's been said that it's characters that make good films, a quality character can carry a film and make it engaging, no matter about anything else within it. And if that is indeed the case, this film epitomises that.The film is based around a man called Guy Martin, just an ordinary man, but he has the best personality you will find on screens this year. You are with him for pretty much the entirety of the film, and he makes every minute an absolute joy.The film works extremely well as a documentary, it takes something the average Joe wouldn't know anything about, and you come out the other end with a healthy knowledge of it all, ready to go and show off to everyone. It starts roughly 2 weeks before the start of the 2009 TT, and gives you a decent background on all the contenders and bikes and works it's way up to the event at a good pace, it doesn't rush to it and doesn't dwell on certain occurrences for any longer than it needs to. It then gives a full overview of the race week, the races and behind the scenes of Guy Martin and an insight to some of the politics of the event, meaning it will still give give deeper information to people that already are aware of the Isle Of Man TT.I would happily sit and watch Guy Martin talk to the camera for hours on end, but where it really pulls in it's audience is with the driving it's self. And I am pleased to say that it is presented immaculately, the 3D is some of the best i've seen in live action and whereas it's not essential to enjoy the movie, it really does engross you further and make the whole film seem more of an experience. There are tons of cameras scattered around the course, so there is pretty much full coverage of every twist and turn, that will leave you wincing at the speed they're travelling next to solid rock walls. The raw speed and power they get is shown of beautifully with the variety of shots used around, it makes sure you feel like your experiencing it and does so very well.TT3D is a film that will stay with you as an experience for the great personalities of the racers that risk their life every time they go out to race, the raw racing skill and above all else it will give you the closest experience to being in one of the most dangerous races there is around, so you too can get a taste of the Isle Of Man TT.

A wonderful documentary which manages to maintain a completely enthralling atmosphere from start to finish. I'm not totally convinced about the value of 3D (nobody was quite mad enough to stand in directly front of Guy as he rode towards the camera). The film contains a level of often brutal authenticity that no actor could ever portray. The resulting connection with the audience becomes both direct and memorable. Keen followers of bike sport, particularly those who ride themselves will connect immediately with their on-road/track heroes but this film will draw all-comers into the truly unique and somewhat eccentric world of the TT. There are of course few more unique and eccentric characters than Guy Martin himself - who ultimately personifies all that is great, quaint, slightly unhinged, rough around the edges, and totally British about TT and the Island. Can't wait for the DVD...
