The group known as Cirque Du Soleil has many different types of performances currently running in Las Vegas and other cities around the world. This film is a compilation of several of their different troupes – sort of a smorgasbord, if you will, of their varying routines. Because each story is woven into this single production the filmmakers have attempted to thread them together with a common theme. This has a varied effect and is disjointed in some spots. That said, the film is visually stunning and the 3D is quite amazing.
Andrew Adamson knows how to film these sequences in a manner that is sometime spectacular. If you have ever seen a live performance from this acrobatic group you won’t be disappointed by the movie and will enjoy the various segments of aerial splendor and amazing feats. We are pleased to award this film our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for ages 12 and over due to some of the dark imagery and sensuality.
