Filmed on location at... Cirque du Soleil™ Journey of Man is a celebration of the human spirit that combines the unique artistry and music of Cirque du Soleil™ with the power of large format film. Filmed on location at various natural and historical landmarks around the world, Cirque du Soleil™ Journey of Man follows the stages of human development from birth to maturity, with each stage introduced by a Cirque du Soleil™ act.

The producers of Cirque du Soleil™ Journey of Man saw the film as a unique opportunity to take the Cirque du Soleil™ performers out from under the "big top" or permanent theater and place them in a bold cinematic experience. Cirque du Soleil™ Journey of Man was filmed over a four month period using an IMAX® Solido (rhymes with Toledo) twin camera. An Iwerks 8-perf / 70mm 3D rig was also used for certain scenes to create a specific effect. [More]

Continues IMAX's silly trend of stringing together fabulous 3-D effects sequences with flimsy narratives.
