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. Go to Full Review Ronnie Scheib Variety 03/30/2006
The execution fails to entirely flesh out the conceit. Go to Full Review Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone TheMovieChicks.com 06/02/2006
3/5
