"Wired To Win"

Wired To Win: Surviving the Tour de France is a movie which was released in 2005, after five years in production. It's a mixture of fantastic visuals of France, with the science of the brain in its role during the race, described as the most grueling of sports events on the mind and body. What intrigues me most about the film is that's it's an Imax film. An Imax I tell you!!

The Featurette is gorgeous in itself, with the crew and others talking about some of what it took to capture the event on film. One example was rigging an Imax camera to a motorcycle, with the camera being operated from a helicopter 2,000 feet away! The filmmakers make use of 3D computer generated imagery which is excellent. You can see the movie trailer here.

I attempted to find out if there is a DVD version, but something tells me that Imax films may not be readily available in that format. Still, I sent an email enquiring about it to the producers. It's already been a whole four hours—why haven't they replied!?!
