Variety Lael Lowenstein
Tech elements, including music, lensing, costumes and production design are blazingly impressive and strikingly evocative on all levels.
Read Full Review >Time Richard Corliss
A film worthy of being displayed on a screen eight stories high.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Peter Stack
The big screen -- with that 3-D depth charge -- captures the strange magic of the "big top" Cirque in visual gulps.
Read Full Review >Philadelphia Inquirer Desmond Ryan
The troupe deserves every bit of its worldwide renown, and it makes this Imax trip one well worth taking.
The New York Times Stephen Holden
It conveys plenty of wonder while mostly avoiding any saccharine preachiness.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
A hokey, more-than-a-little-annoying mystical journey of self-discovery.
Read Full Review >Miami Herald Howard Cohen
Too 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)
Village Voice Jessica Winter
Cirque 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.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
Unnecessary and silly.
New York Post Hannah Brown
The ugly, witless pair of clowns who flit through the movie are emblematic of everything that is wrong with this dull, monumentally pretentious mess.
Chicago Tribune Robert K. Elder
Commits the cardinal sin of all bad IMAX films: It favors visuals over narrative, glitter over substance.

Es increíble este film de Cirque du Soleil. Cuidadosamente logrado, hasta los últimos detalles. Belleza plástica y estética. El viaje del hombre como metáfora reveladora... EXCELENTE!!!!
Tjima P. gave it a 9:
It's relevant to my study of journey and it contains some good morale reflection.
Zoe gave it a 10:
Great film by the best out there, Cirque du Soleil!!!!! Go see it!
Lance D. gave it an 8:
As with all Cirque products--this one is a journey into imagination and the dynamics of the human form. It feels somewhat like a "best of" video tacked into a story line. None the less--Cirque still leads the pack in this form of entertainment
