"Rand University" gets to that crossing by going back to where he came from - Rand, West Virginia - and exploring what almost derailed him before he ever became nationally known for his extraordinary abilities as a wide receiver.

Yes-Ja! The Kwaito Documentary
A musical trip through southern Africa to the tunes of the post-apartheid generation. Kwaito music originated in the 1950's in the dusty streets of South Africa's townships such as Sophiatown, Pimville and subsequently in Soweto. It is inseparable from the Pantsuela culture of the rebellious youth gangs during the Apartheid regime. Since there was no money for musical instruments or for extravagant costumes, they concentrated on their dancing and singing skills and, turning the streets into their stage. Currently almost fifty years later - Kwaito culture is experiencing a renaissance in a manner completely inconceivable in those days.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

If you read such a grand title and learn that a great fan of Aviation like Harrison Ford is narrating, then it is extremely frustrating to discover the vast lack of detail of this movie. After a promising intro, you literally get infuriated by the ever repeating scheme of praising the greatness of airplanes and what we could not do without them (let alone the ever repeating vocal theme that vigorously burns itself into your auditory cortex). It's like you wait for the beat to drop – but it never drops.Of course, the film in general is beautifully made if you only look at the visual aspect, so it would wonderfully work for some soothing imagery in resting areas at airports - without sound.But being an aviation enthusiast myself, I just cannot take this film seriously or recommend it to anyone else.

I simply cannot understand how the makers of the movie can feel good about it -showing almost all the airplane (and airplane related) shots in their trailers alone, and then having 40 minutes of generic tourism destination shots in the rest of the film.I really was looking forward to watching it for so long, and it was a complete disappointment..

First you must go into this documentary with the idea that you are not going to learn about airplanes. This is not a "how airplanes work" film. This film is more about how airplanes have affected humanity. It's a wonderful look at how humans have progressed from simply walking everywhere at 5MPH to flying at 500MPH.It's obvious from the start that great care has been taken to make this film a feast for the eyes and ears. There is no story arc. It's a simple five chapter retrospective about the history of travel and aviation. You simply need to sit back and enjoy the absolutely stunning cinematography, Harrison Ford's wonderful narration, and James Horner's awesome score. That's it! Simple as that. Nothing complicated.If you don't have access to an IMAX theater, the Blu-Ray looks fantastic! Very sharp and clear image. If you have a home theater with big screen and surround sound, you will love it! Worth every penny. The online streaming versions also look pretty good if you don't have a Blu-Ray player.Regarding James Horner's score. I have been a fan of James Horner since the early 80's. This score is one of his last and one of my favorites. It's basically a great collection of his style through the years. It's so sad he's gone now but I'm thankful he left us with such a moving piece of work that brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.Living in the Age of Airplanes, in my humble opinion, is a must see for the simple fact that it's interesting and at the same time a work of art in filmmaking.

Awesome and captivating, my whole family loved seeing this IMAX film! Now, my son wants to be a pilot! It was filled with beauty, inspiration, education, fresh perspective, and was a bit of a tear jerker. Perfect for the big IMAX screen.I felt like I traveled the world in less than an hour! Now, there are so many new places I want to go! I loved all the night scenes, and seeing so many cool, remote places.The visuals and music made it a solid 10. Then, there's Harrison's calm and familiar voice. Go see it! We can't wait to see it again!
