2DIE4 is the story of what happened when racing legend Felipe Nasr took a car to the 24 Hours of LeMans. Shot by the Abdalah Brothers the film is being released into IMAX theaters because of the truly stunning images, particularly the ones of the race.
If you are going to see 2DIE4 see it on a big screen. The images are spectacular. The shots of the cars racing are spectacular. In the huge screen format this is probably as close to most people will ever get to being on the track, in the cars or in the pit. I absolutely loved the images in this film.
The problem is that outside of the images the film does have much going on. Yes it’s Nasr at the race but there isn’t enough information given to us that we feel any real excitement. Worse the pacing is off, and this one hour film is a long haul. Then again the film isn’t really a true hour. The film ends and then we get some images of the race in Daytona during the credits….and then the credits end and we get several minutes of images of how the film was shot. The film feels like this should have either been re-edited to include Daytona or have just lost 20 minutes and been a long short.
It’s not bad, but it you aren’t seeing this with a big picture and big sound and it’s a chore to get through.
