Journey to Le Mans Trailers

Le Mans the biggest motorsport event in the world, is truly a spectacle like no other. The twenty-four hour race is considered the most physically and mentally demanding race on earth. Man and machine push themselves to the limits of endurance, many never make it past the finish line, and some never make it home.

I know nothing about Le Mans so I had no preconceived ideas about what to expect from this. To say I enjoyed it would be an understatement!A fantastic insight into the event and what it takes to get there and to compete.Some have said it was very one sided as it only followed one team, and that is correct, but that is what it was meant to be about anyway. Enjoy it for what it is. (Warning: TT3D is the same, so don't complain about that one when you see it!!!!)What really made this a great watch though was the cinematography! Superb camera use, footage and techniques. Loved it!If you're a racing fan, then I highly recommend this....

If you are a car guy skip on this film. The are so many repetitive scenes that it just makes you wonder who put this together. They show the same scene 6 times. How is that possible when you telling a story. The producer cuts from one angle to another and you don't really get to see or enjoy a slow motion shot and on top of that they put a sound effect that clearly doesn't belong but, to make it worse its the same sound effect they just used 3 minutes ago. Also they talk about crashes but fail to show you it and skip to a person talking about it. We want to see the whole scene. Don't tell us what and how it happened, SHOW US. It was poorly thought out and will just get us car guys angry. All you had to do was end the movie with the car going around La'Sarthe for a whole lap and we would of been happy.

I was gripped from the start and it just got better and better. Anyone with an interest in motor racing will be wrapped by this film. I'm not a huge motor sport fan but I found this film riveting. The story line is so strong it makes the film appealing to everyone. A must watch. The voice of Patrick Stewart narrating is just the icing on the cake. The professionalism of the racing team and the comradeship combined with the dedication and drive is inspiring. The film gives us an insight into the team effort from the drivers to the trainer and the mechanics. Also the camera work is astounding. I have bought the DVD and will be watching it again and again.

How documentarians always manage to film something when a big event is about to unfold is beyond me. This was a good movie and gave a great inside look into Le Mans. The direction is decent, however, you don't get the full feel of the races they show or the speed these cars achieve. It could have been aided from the use of Go-Pro or their equivalent in this instance. I also would have liked to have had more of an inside look into what is JOTA and more background information about the racers,Only major gripe is the soundtrack is terrible, it belongs in a Disney movie.
