By vividly recounting the TT's legendary rivalries and the Isle of Man's unique road racing history, this 3D feature documentary will discover why modern TT riders still risk their lives to win the world's most dangerous race. The Isle of Man Tourist Trophy is the greatest motorcycle road race in the world, the ultimate challenge for rider and machine. It has always called for a commitment far beyond any other racing event, and many have made the ultimate sacrifice in their quest for victory. A story about freedom of choice, the strength of human spirit and the will to win. It's also an examination of what motivates those rare few, this elite band of brothers who risk everything to win. The vision of top commercials director Richard de Aragues, this promises to be one of the most thrilling films of 2011.
Rev up those whiteknuckle thrillride clichés, you're going to need them.
Not just for the petrol heads, TT3D is a life-affirming joy ride for anyone with a heartbeat.
Almost innocent in his obsessiveness, he's like a swaggering cousin of Karl Pilkington, and by the time of the big race day you may be surprised to find yourself rooting for him.
The colourful characters and human drama keep things interesting and engaging from start to finish.
It's a saturnalia of excitement, saturated with thrills and a sense of danger that is almost spiritual.
For the most part this is an entertaining look at a dangerous and exciting sport done for love and personal satisfaction rather than fame and fortune.
An enthralling documentary.
The speeds on such narrow, winding public roads are hair-raising and superbly photographed, the crashes spectacular and the riders far more likable than anyone involved in Formula One.
Get on your bike and see it.
