Like some people I am not much into documentaries, but this hit me like a tank at full speed!!!! I have always liked the idea of a desert race and off road racing. When I saw this movie I was thrown into the world of the greatest off road racing. Growing up I loved driving off road, now it is something I will do before I die. This movie has given the drive to race in the worlds finest off road race. If you haven't seen this yet man you gotta see it!!!!!!!! I own it and I have watched it like 100 times and I still get cold chills. If you are into any kind of racing what so ever you are going to love this movie. Just hearing the engines roaring to life and watching the suspension working as the trucks and buggies and bikes and quads you want to know what its like to be in or on those rides.
... View MoreI LOVED this movie. the only reason I gave it a 9 was because it wasn't perfect, but I LOVED it. In fact, I'd say it's biggest imperfection is that it wasn't an IMAX film.I am a 34 y.o. female who happens to enjoy dirt bike riding, but am probably not the typical target demographic for this film. Yet, I would highly recommend it to anyone with a sense of adventure. There was human drama, incredible racing, touching moments, laughter, and a short history lesson. I enjoyed Step into Liquid, as well, but I found this much better. I came away eager to go to baja to be a spectator as I know I don't have the endurance to be a racer. But I wish I did.....
... View MoreTo me this movie had more passion that almost any movie I had seen, especially in a documentary. This movie truly showed that the Baja Race wasn't about anything, but passion and love of family and pushing yourself to that ultimate limit. The cinematography in this movie, like Dana's previous film, (stepping into liquid) was amazing. It truly made me feel as if I was watching/inside of the Baja race. It was as if I could taste the sand in my teeth as they were riding through the silt beds and I can smell the ocean breeze when they were skidding along the beaches.I knew little to nothing about the Baja Race, but coming away from this movie I am in awe of the passion and the love of something so intense that you are willing to risk your life for it. There isn't a lot of people out there that would do this, not only entering into a competition, but also watching it.I would recommend this movie to anyone that gets an opportunity or a glimpse of this awe-inspiring movie.
... View MoreI am normally not a big documentary fan, but Dust to Glory really impressed me. First off, the Baja 1000 is the coolest race ever. I imagine that if you were able to read minds, you would find that everyone leaving the theater would be thinking 'Baja 1000... wow. I wonder if I could do that'. Now I dream of one day competing in the Baja 1000. Dust to Glory will convert everyone in the audience into a Baja 1000 addict and you will leave in awe of the competitors and the race itself. Tons of energy, emotion and dirt. Great stories, characters and beautiful locations. Dana, we won't be staging any interventions for a long time.
