75The big screen -- with that 3-D depth charge -- captures the strange magic of the "big top" Cirque in visual gulps.
-
60A hokey, more-than-a-little-annoying mystical journey of self-discovery.
-
80A film worthy of being displayed on a screen eight stories high.
-
80Tech elements, including music, lensing, costumes and production design are blazingly impressive and strikingly evocative on all levels.
-
70Why 3-D?
-
50Cirque du Soleil's campy, crackbrained, and in no way unenjoyable 3-D IMAX pageant Journey of Man might be the oddest movie offering of the year so far.
-
75The troupe deserves every bit of its worldwide renown, and it makes this Imax trip one well worth taking.
-
50Too bad Journey of Man, as a whole, is never as consistently compelling as that one visually arresting scene (with Yves Décoste and Marie-Laure Mesnage)
-
25Commits the cardinal sin of all bad IMAX films: It favors visuals over narrative, glitter over substance.
-
25The ugly, witless pair of clowns who flit through the movie are emblematic of everything that is wrong with this dull, monumentally pretentious mess.
-
The film still shines.
-
70It conveys plenty of wonder while mostly avoiding any saccharine preachiness.

40Unnecessary and silly.
