More Detail:
NASCAR 3D: THE IMAX EXPERIENCE is a big screen documentary that transports viewers behind the scenes of stock car racing. Included are today’s top NASCAR drivers, the shops that produce their cars, the teams that keep their cars running, and the fans whose intense devotion fuels the phenomenon. Actor Kiefer Sutherland narrates the 40-minute movie, beginning with the historical roots of NASCAR, or stock car racing, and ending with scenes from various races around the country, including the Winston 500. In between are visits to the shops where the cars are made and a look at the intense pressure that the pit crews are under in trying to keep the cars running in tip-top shape.
NASCAR 3D engulfs viewers in the high-powered world of stock car racing. It puts you in the driver seat, with close-up views in front of and behind the wheel, as drivers jockey for position during actual races, just inches away from other cars. The IMAX big screen visuals and dynamic sound system are perfectly suited to capturing the kinetic energy behind this sport that attracts so many people. The use of 3D also makes perfect sense. Best of all, the movie includes a positive reference to God and prayer, two things that are absolutely essential if you’re going to participate in such a potentially dangerous sport.
