Clevercell Very disappointing...

Wordiezett So much average

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

MJB784 The Walk was an inspirational story about a man from France who has put on many circus type acts in France for tightrope walking and comes to America in New York City to expand his talent by elaborating a scheme with his friends to hook various cables across the world trade center buildings for his biggest stunt yet. This involves walking while holding a giant stick. This is a true story from 1974. I liked it.

The Movie Diorama The true story of a man, just one individual, walking across the twin towers of the World Trade Center. Yes, Philippe Petit had the audacity to disobey the law and chase his dream, thus consequently creating an inspirational life story that I'm sure will reinvigorate many. The Walk, obviously depicting the grandeur of the stunt, also dabbles into his backstory and how he found his passion for being an artist. An underlying theme throughout the plot, Petit wasn't just an entertainer, he viewed his displays with a sense of artistry. Exuberantly confident yet fiercely determined, Zemeckis once again has produced a whimsical tale that ensures you experience an array of emotions. Gordon-Levitt's performance of the central character was phenomenal. A perfect French accent to accompany his commitment to the act of high-wire walking, he became truly captivating. The supporting cast were good with Kingsley being the most noticeable. The vital aspect to the film is the visual grandeur which increasingly induces acrophobia as the stunts become more death-defying. Zemeckis puts this at the forefront, particularly during the twin tower walk, where the breath-taking heights feel both nauseating and illustrious. I can only imagine how enthralling the 3D would've been, I may have to give it a watch next time. The story was well paced and mostly focussed on the infiltration of the World Trade Center which felt reminiscent to classic Chaplin films. An endearing tone of clumsiness entered the narrative, especially when the plan stumbles occasionally. The main problem, which surprised me given Zemeckis at the helm, was how heavy-handed the narrative was conveyed. The over reliance of narration and the fact it took a biographical route (as the film is told through a flashback), meant that there were no thrills. Any issues that occurred during the stunt automatically negated any excitement, because we all know how the film ends due to the narrative structure. Ultimately, a disappointing aspect to what is a high flying biopic.

brasscolorenzo I can still remember watching this 2 years ago. I purchased IMAX 3D tickets for me and my friend, bcoz i saw the advice from IMDB. Then...I remember walking out of the theater with shaking legs and cold palms! My friend showed me her sweaty palms. During the show, my feet curled up, and i believed my balls shrink! This is the best experience i ever got from watching a movie! Movie makers should make more of these, so to discourage netizens from just downloading it. When bluray became available, i purchased the 3D versions. I tried to relive the moment, however the vertigo experience just wasn't there. The best money i have spent on movie tickets.
