Adrenaline Rush: the Science of Risk takes a look at the world of skydiving and base jumping - parachuting from a building, a bridge or a cliff. While providing breathtaking views of skydiving over the Florida Keys, the Mojave Desert and in the magnificent Fjords of Norway, this giant-screen experience explores the psychological and physiological forces behind risk-taking, and the physics involved in these activities. In doing so, it also shows us how risk-taking is part of everyday life. The storyline focuses on two risk-takers, Adrian Nicholas and Katarina Ollikainen. Nicholas, a veteran skydiver who has performed thousands of jumps, is the record holder for the longest unassisted human flight, a 4-minute 55-second flight at speeds of up to 200 kilometers/hour that took place in 1999. Adrenaline Rush even allows spectators to directly experience a base jump thanks to a camera strapped to one of the professional jumpers who took part in the film. You can live through a 1300-meter (4150 feet) jump from a legendary cliff in Norway, the Katthammaren Wall.

| User ReviewMichaela RFinally someone decided to test Leonardo DaVinci's concept of the parachute. Most of this IMAX flick stems from ideas from DaVinci sketchbook. Of course, there are many beautifully captured nature shots. A couple of Peter Gabriel songs help to keep this film lively. The narration and the "science" tend to bog down this short film. However, it is all related to humans and how adrenaline is utilized differently. Overall, I enjoyed the many types of skydiving shown and the varied perspectives of flight. |
