      Michelle Hiskey Atlanta Journal-Constitution The spectacular scenery, vibrant colors and dangerous speed of the Tour de France provide the perfect raw material for Imax filmmaking. Rated: B- Apr 26, 2007 Full Review Philip Wuntch Dallas Morning News The mental and physical coordination is a feat that any golf, football, tennis player, et al., can relate to. But its impact is magnified on the IMAX screen. Rated: B+ Jun 2, 2006 Full Review Ronnie Scheib Variety The execution fails to entirely flesh out the conceit. Mar 30, 2006 Full Review Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone TheMovieChicks.com The graphics and facts about the brain are interesting, but it always feels like they are interrupting the action to bring you the commercials that are paying for the show to be on the big screen. Rated: 3/5 Jun 2, 2006 Full Review Frank Swietek One Guy's Opinion Offers a nice visual overview of the Tour, but doesn't quite work either as an insightful portrait of its competitors or as a science lesson. Rated: C+ Jun 2, 2006 Full Review Ross Anthony Hollywood Report Card This story marries together two seemingly distinct subjects: the Tour de France and the science of the brain. It's a marriage that seems somewhat contrived, but it works. Rated: 3/4 Apr 13, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews
