Despite the occasional white-knuckle point-of-view shot, I never felt I was being pulled into someone else’s reality—and isn’t that the whole point of cinema?

A rather rote and superficial look at the NASCAR circuit.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 11, 2005

| Original Score: 6/10 | Oct 7, 2004

It turns out that racing around an oval track offers surprisingly few opportunities to exploit 3D effectively.

I wanted more time on the track, more passing, more actual racing. NASCAR (Stock car racing) implies "adrenaline rush" and I missed that in this otherwise solid documentary.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 5, 2004

The film is about as illuminating as the race cars' stickered-on headlights.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 1, 2004

This one does manage to put audiences in the action. And its brief examinations of the science of auto racing are pretty educational.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 30, 2004

Part infomercial, part historical documentary, all in 3-D, Nascar 3D is best seen as a spectacle, something that exists for its format rather than its content.

Gentlemen and ladies: Don your goggles!

The movie makes an excellent primer about the world of stock car racing for fans and nonfans alike.

Full Review | Mar 18, 2004

In spite of flaws, for sheer size and bravado, it still deserves a look

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 17, 2004

NASCAR 3D will delight fans of auto racing.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 16, 2004

Those vehicles sure are big, they come right at you, and they're in one heck of a hurry. For about 40 minutes, that's all you really need.

Full Review | Mar 13, 2004

An interesting behind-the-scenes look at one of the world's most popular spectator sports.

Full Review | Mar 12, 2004

Offers a bit of NASCAR history, a smattering of engineering facts, glimpses of some of the sport's most popular personalities and a whole lot of hyperbolic chatter about the populist glory of driving really noisy cars in a circle at 200 miles per hour.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 12, 2004

Its rampant corporate sponsorship is messy and distracting, and the athleticism necessary to triumph is still less intriguing (perhaps because it's less visible) than the athleticism necessary to triumph in, say, baseball.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 12, 2004

Doesn't quite overcome its shameless self-promotion, but the film will satisfy the Lynyrd Skynyrd set while providing a decent explanation to those who are baffled by the sport's popularity.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 12, 2004
