Cyclists in the Tour de France demonstrate the ability of the human brain to overcome physical and mental adversity and achieve goals.

The spectacular scenery, vibrant colors and dangerous speed of the Tour de France provide the perfect raw material for Imax filmmaking.

Rated: B-

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+

The execution fails to entirely flesh out the conceit.

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

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+

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

If you ever wondered what it would be like to cycle the Tour de France, check this IMAX movie out! Following Australian cyclist Baden Cooke and France's Jimmy Casper, this film mixes scenes of the Tour with magnifications of the human brain.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
