TT: Closer to the Edge Single

It's not very often that a movie about racing entertains like this. It is simply the best racing documentary I've ever seen. The quality of footage is insightful and breathtaking. The human stories of why these riders risk what they do, and the wives and mothers, along with race owners and the mechanics that make the speed of these machines is captured in a heart warming and touching way. I started riding a year ago and this movie evokes everything that it means a feels to ride a bike. prospective all the thoughts that go through your mind It's a type of movie you will watch over and over again. The Irish, English accents are thick, subtitles is highly recommended, at least the first time through! I had heard about the TT races, I now realize the challenge that it is. Many of the best riders in Motor GP, marvel at what these riders do. There is a still shot in the movie of a church with its bells ringing and the still of a Sunday morning being broken with riders speeding around brick walls at top speed.Race fan or not you will love this movie, it's a must see.

excellent native 3d documentary shot in the uk. It is about motorcycle racing and it should have come out here in the u.s. But of course we didn't get it. It's region b I think. I have a all region 3d blu ray player so to me it doesn't matter what region it is. This has lots of great shots of people on motorcyles racing around. And they are engaged in a very dangerous race. The blu ray looks outstanding and has a boring flat 2d version. (as compared to the exciting 3d version visually). This is worth owning. Just check out the region before you buy it. The blu rays picture is outstanding either way you watch it. But 3d fans should want this one in their collection for sure.

Although this is a good look at preparations for IOM by Guy Martin and others nothing beats his On-board 5 star chase of Michael Dunlop in 2014.Still, definitely worth watching.

Great look at some of the riders of the Isle Of Mann TT races. 3-D added a lot to my enjoyment. You will need a 3-D Blue Ray Player that will play region B discs. I purchased a universal 3-D player a few years ago so that I could enjoy some films that are not available on North American region A discs. So if you own a player that can play region B, I highly recommend this Blu-Ray.

I am something of a motorcycle fan and enthusiast, so thoroughly enjoyed this awesome movie.But, to my surprise, my wife and my eldest daughter both really enjoyed this movie and the colorful characters that are driven to take part in one of the most exciting and dangerous motorsports races in the world.Great behind-the scenes look at the more-authentic, less-glamorous side of motorsports and what it takes to risk it all for nothing more than one's name on a plaque.Why this hasn't been picked-up for screenings and distribution here in the USA is anyone's guess.

I have an Oppo player that plays any region disc.I wanted to see what my 3d tv could do with the Isle of Man.Most discs here are just recaps.This is a documentary.I was so impressed, and need I say now I am a Guy Martin fan!This is indepth, and does discuss the crashes that occur every year, sad but real.If you can play a redion 2 3D disc, this is a must have!

Absolutely love this, if your a road race fan this is a must have. Just remember it is REGION B, I will say it again REGION B,you need an all region Blu-ray player to watch. And it must play A B C regions in BLU-RAY. And I recommend Watch everythingGuy Martin, he is passionate about the things he does and funny on top of it. He is a ray of light not often seen anymore, he willdeny it but he is a Super Star.

Great video, read other reviews for info. If you're in the USA and don't have a European standard blu-ray player you can still watch the movie. Blu-ray package comes with a PAL standard-def DVD as well as the blu-ray disk. PAL dvd won't play in your Blu-ray or DVD player, but played great in the DVD drive on my Windows 7 computer in Windows Media Player. If you have a computer with HDMI video output, you're in business for your big flatscreen TV as well.

If you have even a passing interest in motorcycles this documentary will hold your attention.It follows several riders before and during the Isle of Man TT - a motorcycle race on 37 miles of closed public roads on the island.PROs- excellent documentary by a director who is clearly a road racing fan- great interviews with leading riders- an insight into the mindset of the ridersCONs- too much focus on one rider (Guy Martin), others (e.g. the Dunlop brothers) get far too little airtime-oddly the onboard footage is lacking, and what bits there are tend to be poor with the camera angle pointing too low - on youtube there are numerous vastly superior onboard clips (e.g. Lockk9 TT Racing has brilliant stuff on his channel)- what has Jared Leto got to do with road racing?? At least The Road (documentary on the Dunlop family) had Liam Neeson doing the narration and who has some idea what road racing is all about. But Jared Leto doing the narration - baffling!It really shows up what the millionaire stars of pro-sports playing for their billionaire owners just really are. If you want real skill, risk and bravery this is the real thing.Overall this is thrilling stuff. An easy 5 stars.

I have to 'fess up and declare that I knew absolutely diddly squat about motorbike racing or the Isle of Man TT (except that they are both VERY fast), but brought this DVD after watching the BBC TV show 'The Boat That Guy Built' and finding myself fascinated with the character that is Guy Martin. I wasn't disappointed on either front - there is plenty of focus on Guy Martin, more so than the other riders, but the racing left me breathless and with sweating palms. I was absolutely in awe of what these riders do and the speeds at which they do it at; as a documentary it works on every level - informative, exciting and never a dull moment. The filming of the racing is very well done, giving a real sense of just how fast these guys race and the danger they face on every corner; in fact this film is also tinged with sadness, as every year racers and members of the public lose their life either racing or riding the TT course. Again, the film makers handle this aspect of the phenomenon that is TT very well and strike just the right balance between the thrilling action on the course and the devastation to those left behind when a rider dies. As well as the main feature and extras, there is a bonus DVD with even more to keep the viewer hooked - all in all this is definitely worth buying, even for those like me who aren't neccesarily into motorbike racing - I defy anyone not to be blown away by this. There is a great quote from the film - 'Just because you're breathing doesn't mean you're alive' - sums up what these guys do perfectly!

There was alweays the danger that this may have been another ordinary to good film about the TT that was launched with over enthusiastic marketing. This is certainly not the case and is an excellent film in almost every respect.Much has been made about the content around Guy Martin who comes across as a person with a distinctly individual character - rightly so and you may change your opinion about him once you have seen this. He is certainly different to many of the other of TT's winners and front runners that you see in this film.The on bike shots, drama of the races, team background is all well portrayed with accuracy, style and in some cases artistically (the latter is questionable whether it is needed but is does add to the spectacle of the event).Final word - a well made film that is a must, not only for bike fans, but anyone keen on motorsport.

Absolutely brilliant, gritty and raw. Brings home both the excitement and chilling hard realities of the Isle of Man TT. I have to agree about the camera angles on Guys bike at the beginning being lower than perfect, but that's a tiny criticism of this feature that really involves the viewer. Even my wife was glued to this one, right to the end.It certainly helps that fellow yellerbelly Guy Martin is a larger than life character, but the film follows the ups and downs of several competitors and their families, sponsors and loved ones. Just needs Guy to remember that in Lincolnshire, we "mash" tea, not brew it!You need to buy this one if you enjoy motorsport in any way. An essential one for the collection, to watch many times. Even more amazing in superb 3D.

Saw this product first on the plane and was very impressed and watched it numerous times since. This film and others in similar vein bring motorcycle racing to life. It's not just a dull record of a race which took place a few year ago. These are real people and their lives and stories. It's very good to watch and brings home the exitement of road racing to the viewer, has lots of humour and down to earth stories. A jewel of a film and has so many anecdotal and film of related events like Robert and Joey Dunlop legendary status. You feel almost that you're there and that is by any standard a sign of a succesful film/documentary. I bought 2 on the strength of what I saw and took one abroad to motorcycle entusiast for whom IoM TT is just a distant dream.
