www.latinoreview.com - : The IMAX process is an effective form of showmanship, a moving image that's eight stories high and takes up most of your field of vision. It's a crisp and clean format that almost succeeds in making you forget where you are and can drop you into a myriad of locales. The problem is that every IMAX feature to date has relied on the process alone to tell non-existent stories. Take the latest venture ''Nascar 3D''. Not only does the format make you feel as if you're right on the racetrack or inside a powerful moving piece of machinery, but it's projected in three dimensions. By way of the polarized lens process of course. Take away those two elements of technology and we're left with nothing. In simple terms, without the big 3-D picture we're left with just another boring documentary that doesn't even have enough merit to appear on ESPN. more...

Anyone who's ever placed a racing videogame knows that you have to make split-second decisions, or you're going to end up in a digital scrap heap. Imagine having to make these split-second choices while riding in a car that weighs a ton, going at top speed around a track, with a guy on your tail and one that won't let you pass. more...
