Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away (2012) Blu-ray 3D [Region Free] - Blu-ray Forum

bluskies · 11-27-2012, 07:36 AM

I just saw the trailer for it on TV and it looks amazing!!! One day only, 12/21.

TV commercial

Longer trailer

The website is at: http://www.worldsaway3d.com/

It says it incorporates acts from seven of Cirque's Las Vegas shows: Ka, The Beatles' Love, O, Viva Elvis, Zumanity, Chris Angel Believe, and Mystere.

Why just one day? I don't get that. My family and I saw the trailer for this one at the Regal. We all want to see it.

Since it is only going to be in theaters for a day

, will we see this get a 3D Blu release sooner than later.

Probably just a Fathom event before it goes to disk (like most of the Cirque concerts).
Like Disney's "Limited time 3D" movies, expect it to be around another week, after "unexpected demand".

As long as it's more concert than narrative: Cirque tried doing a narrative movie before, and it was pretty much.......what you'd expect a Cirque narrative movie would be.

[Show spoiler]

(I'm a Cirque fan--and not one of those people like in the obnoxious Expedia ad, who hear CdS and think they're going to be surrounded by French street mimes--but "Alegria: the Movie" came pretty darn close to that point.)

I love Cirque. Watched many shows in Vegas and the ones that come to my town. Looking forward to see this movie. The 3D trailer on Imax is amazing.

so do I !!

I'm purposefully avoiding seeing any footage from commercials/trailers so all the imagery unfolds before my eyes

Zivouhr · 11-28-2012, 02:43 AM

I caught the 3D trailer for De Solei before Rise of the Guardians 3D, and this circus like event has very strong 3D, along the lines of Imax 3D's best efforts. Very impressive 3D. One day only?

bluskies · 12-22-2012, 05:21 AM

I - LOVED - IT!!!!!!!!! I want to see it again! And I will...going back two or three times next week.

Yes, I have seen mediocre reviews, but there are couple of requirements to enjoying this movie:

1. You have to LOVE Cirque Du Soleil. Not just "like"...you have to love them.

2. Don't spend even one second trying to analyse the plot. It's about a young woman who is mesmerized with a young male aerialist and she tries to find him again when they are separated. Everything else are sections of different Las Vegas Cirque shows and even in their entirety don't always make sense. If you try to understand why this is here or that is there, you will run out screaming. Turn off your brain and just let your eyes enjoy all the spectacular.

3. It helps a lot to have seen at least a few of these shows in Las Vegas because the movie selects some of the best parts from each.

4. Did I mention you have to LOVE Cirque du Soleil?

I think one or two people did walk out but those who stayed applauded and stayed all the way through the end credits (which were very lengthy because they listed each LV show, each hotel, and each person on the crew of the individual productions).

The film did present some of the best moments from each show, and getting close added to it, giving us devotees a new look at it. And with the battle scene on the rotating steel plate from "Ka", a look from different angles was a blessing.

My favorite Cirque show in Vegas is "The Beatles' Love" and other fans of that production will be very happy. There are about six scenes from it (with Beatles music in the film, too), including "Get Back," "Octopus's Garden," "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds," "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!", "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," and the film ends with a group shot of curtain moments for the different show casts set to "All You Need Is Love."

Cinematography is excellent. And the 3D is spectacular!

Is it just a huge commercial for Cirque du Soleil's Las Vegas shows? Yes. Do I recommend it? Yes! Yes! YES!!!!

I try to avoid any Cirque with narrative plot. (For above-mentioned "Alegria: the Movie" reasons.)

About the closest Cirque can manage for "plot" was their old CBC "Solstrom" series, that had sort of plots about invading Cirque aliens, that was just a wraparound gimmick for 1-hour mini performance shows.
Otherwise, it's already a challenge trying to figure out the "plots" of the individual stage shows. (I love Cirque, but still couldn't figure out what exactly happens in La Nouba--They said something did.)

I'm guessing the movie release was to recoup the costs on the eventual Blu 3D performance disk, but however few months later we get that, I'm in.

Compare the price of seeing the stage shows to the cost of seeing the movie and that is a good enough reason to justify seeing it again and again.

Glad you enjoyed it Bluskies. Thanks for the detailed review. How long is this going to be in theaters? I heard it was a one night only affair.

That's what I heard, too. But last night, I saw that it appears to be on for one week, but at only a few times each day.

I'll buy it, but not at the current discounted price of $49.49 - that pricing is ridiculous.

bluskies · 01-26-2013, 11:34 PM

If you would like more info about the film, I started a thread on it awhile back here in the 3D forum:

I'll rent this if I can. I don't really care to own it but would love to watch it once.

Taygan315 · 01-27-2013, 02:02 AM

Any idea when we will be hearing of a release date for this? Blind buy for me.

bluskies · 03-25-2013, 03:46 PM

Just a quick sale note. If anyone in interested in just the 2D package, Target has it for $15.00 this week. The 3D version is still the way to go, though.

Taygan315 · 03-25-2013, 05:12 PM

Watched this last night: WOW!!! Just......WOW!

I was so mesmerized by it. First time I had seen Cirque du Soleil of any type. Call me a fan now. Loved the visuals and the imagery. Just beautiful. The 3D just enhances it even more.

So, how soon before you book a trip to Las Vegas?
