An emotional goodbye to rock n roll's finest and longest enduring trio. I grew up listening to these guys and felt lucky to have been able to see them as many times as I did- with my father, with his girlfriend and with my own. Their music will live on forever. Humble and endlessly talented musicians that have earned their retirement. Thanks for the music and the memories.

As a long time Rush fan, this was a fantastic, yet a heartbreaking film. The thought that this is their last tour ends a long chapter in my life that started with 2112. Still, a great doc about the band's final tour.

I watched this in my hotel room a while back. If you want to see a bunch of old, blubbering white dudes (I"m not talking about the band) lamenting the retirement of their favorite band, then this movie is for you. Otherwise, I'd pass. I'm sure the fans will love it. I used to be one of those guys, but I realized how f***ing annoying we are/were. Any discussion of music leads to the inevitable interjection of Rush, whether it's Neil's lyrics and drumming, Geddy's alacrity at playing bass, singing, and keyboards all at the same time, or Alex's guitar and hair loss, they'd find a way to work it into the conversation. Rush fans are like vegetarians, they just can't help but tell you about how great it is to be one. I quite following Rush in about 2007 and there was nothing in this video that was new or revealing that hasn't been talked about before. It's good Neil made the call for them to retire. Geddy and Alex would obviously like to keep on touring but it's just about the right time, they could've done this a few years ago. Any longer and they'd become caricatures of old rock 'n roll guys.

If you like Rush, you'll like this movie. You might even like this movie if you don't like Rush. If you don't like Rush, this movie might make you like Rush.

While I loved this, the previous documentary called Beyond the Lighted Stage remains my favourite. I would have enjoyed more footage from fellow musicians as it pertained to the final tour for Canada's greatest band. Otherwise, this will be worth several viewings just for nostalgia alone.

Rush music isn't for everyone. Neither is Rush: Time Stand Still, a rock-doc chronicle of the band's purported final tour in 2015.

Time Stand Still is as intimate a backstage pass as fans could want. It also includes as much verbiage from the band's laconic muse Peart as you might find in all the interviews he's done put together.

Rated: 4/5

Rockumentaries are a dime a dozen these days, but there's always going to be something special about a Rush movie.

The main theme of Rush | Time Stand Still is devotion: both that required by the band to stay together for 40 years...and that shown by its biggest fans, notoriously hard-core followers.
