I can still remember watching this 2 years ago. I purchased IMAX 3D tickets for me and my friend, bcoz i saw the advice from IMDB. Then...I remember walking out of the theater with shaking legs and cold palms! My friend showed me her sweaty palms. During the show, my feet curled up, and i believed my balls shrink! This is the best experience i ever got from watching a movie! Movie makers should make more of these, so to discourage netizens from just downloading it. When bluray became available, i purchased the 3D versions. I tried to relive the moment, however the vertigo experience just wasn't there. The best money i have spent on movie tickets.

Fear of heights, anyone? I sure do. So watching 'The Walk' was a challenge for me of sorts. I mean, I know its all happening on the screen, but the vibe & the atmosphere is sure to make my heartbeat really fast. And oh boy, it did! And what also 'The Walk' did was deliver some solid entertainment in those 2 hours.'The Walk' Synopsis: In 1974, high-wire artist Philippe Petit recruits a team of people to help him realize his dream: to walk the immense void between the World Trade Center towers.Philippe Petit accomplished the near impossible & left the world startled. And his journey is brought on the screen with an excellent film. Legendary Oscar-Winning Director Robert Zemeckis directs 'The Walk' superbly. This biographical drama is consistently engaging & even though THE WALK doesn't happen until 90-minutes into the film, you're still engaged & never impatient to see the big moment. Zemeckis & Christopher Browne's Screenplay, which is based on book To Reach the Clouds by Philippe Petit himself, is arresting & nicely builds the story before the main big moment happens. And I must say, the entire sequence involving THE WALK, will take your breath away. Its something you need to experience. And now coming to the champ of 'The Walk' - Joseph Gordon-Levitt!. JGL is simply terrific as Philippe Petit. Right from a flawless french accent to his anxious body-language, JGL is a marvel. This is a career-best performance from an actor, who deserves so much more! Also in good form are Charlotte Le Bon as Petit's supportive girlfriend, James Badge Dale as one of Petit's team members & Sir Ben Kingsley as Petit's father figure, who teaches him the essence of life & art. On the whole, 'The Walk' is a must watch. Strongly Recommended!

This Zemeckis's movie contains thrill for those people has acrophobia (fear of height), I so shocked for those scenes.Joseph Gordon played so well in this movie, something I surprised that he spoke French and his tone voice had changed.But The Walk has no serious challenge for making doubt to ourselves that can he achieve his dream? this is a big problem I think.My last word is if you are enjoying adventure and drama movie don't miss this. It's worth to watch this once time.

a strange word for define a perfect movie. not only as inspired adaptation of a real case. but for something who remains out of words. the performance of Joseph Gordon - Lewitt is the first example. the music. the cinematography. the emotional storms of a character who reminds Hugo of Scorsese. emotion and French flavor and the scent of spy films. the circus and the challenges. Ben Kingsley as the perfect piece for impeccable equilibrium of a film who gives all - feelings, message, miracle, humor , tension, a magnificent fairy tale in new terms. a confession - film. this is its basic virtue. and one of the most significant motifs for see it.
