Review of The Walk (2015) by Moviemitch96 — 06 Oct 2015
Well after being greatly disappointed with the movie Everest a couple weeks ago during its exclusive IMAX run its first week, seeing that this film was being released the same way and that it looked pretty interesting, I was really hoping that this would turn out better, and fortunately it did.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt fulfilled the role of Philippe Petit rather nicely and brought great spirit to his character, although I will say that I thought his French accent got a little hammed up at times.
The film's strongest aspects were easily the daring visuals and cinematography, of course especially during the walk in the film's last half hour. All of this combined with Gordon-Levitt's tight-roping skills completely captivated me during that film's portion.
As for the story and film itself, I really enjoyed watching this incredible true story come to life onscreen. Even though the titular walk of the film doesn't occur until approximately the last half hour, the rest of the film before it and the events that build up to it were interesting to watch and made it well worth it.
Also, unlike Everest, the 3D in this film was actually put to good use. It worked very well and never felt pointless at all. So overall, not only was it a simple, yet fun and enjoyable film to watch, but it's also another worthy addition from Robert Zemeckis.
