With the totally photogenic Guy Martin playing a starring role how could it go wrong?!

With great anticipation we travelled the 55 odd miles to the nearest 3D cinema showing this film.

We'd booked the tickets a week before and had then spent the whole week scouring the net for reviews and trailers as we didn't really know how the subject was going to be portrayed. I can happily say we were not disappointed.

The film really took you into the heart of TT racing and showed the spirit and passion of all those involved from the fanatical fans and dedicated Marshall's to the talented and brave riders and their families and teams.

I shed a tear, laughed and most importantly felt a renewed passion and dedication to get us over the water to the TT as soon as possible.

I disagree with a previous review that only men will like this film. There are plenty of us female bikers out there and with the totally photogenic Guy Martin playing a starring role how could it go wrong?! I hope this film goes onto be a big success but, as with all types of biking media, it won't get the coverage or publicity that it really deserves.

Get yourself to a cinema now and watch what is a very well put together, entertaining and interesting bit of cinematography you won't regret it.

Great

'TT3D: Closer to the Edge' is probably the best documentary I've seen in a while. To put it into perspective, I know very little about motor bikes and even less about motorcycle racing.

If you also know nothing about the TT Isle of Man racing tournament then this documentary gives you a great explanation of the whole thing. With stories from motorcyclists and workers at the races and with some narrative which occurs infrequently throughout the film, you begin to have a decent knowledge about this.

The documentary aspect itself is pretty good but not great. The narration of the film is a bit too infrequent and uneven at some points but it does provide a great deal of information. It is the people in this documentary that make it great; Guy Martin, who becomes the focus of the film, is simply hilarious. An immediately likable person, Guy provides a lot of comedy in the film and you end up wanting him to win at least one race by the end of the film.

The camera work is pretty spectacular, there's good use of sweeping landscape shots across the Isle of Man but also the footage from bikers' helmets as they are racing on the TT is quite terrifying because it shows you just how fast and how dangerous the circuit is.

Overall, if you think this film looks interesting but haven't watched it because you feel you don't know enough about it, watch it. It explains everything so well and by the end of it you have a great understanding of the races.

Exillerating documentary.

What i know about Motorcycle racing you could write on the back of a postage stamp but that doesn't matter a jot when you watch TT3D Closer to the edge.

This is a superb documentary about the Isle of Man road races that are held once a year and where many people die in the pursuit of mastering the famous but deadly dangerous roads on the island.

Most of the film revolves around maverick rider , Guy Martin , who has an odd but very likable personality. A man who has never won a race and is prepared to devote his entire life to his sport . He's not interested in having a family or doing what most men of his age do , he just wants to race bikes.

This is an eye opening documentary that really highlights the devotion these men have to racing. Many people die , including during the filming of this , yet their families know it's what these man live for , so they accept the consequence's .

Some of the camera work is amazing. We experience what the riders see , thanks to a brilliant helmet cam and my only regret is that i didn't see this in 3D .
