IMAX: Rocky Mountain Express [Includes Digital Copy] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray] [2011]

My late father worked on the railroad for nearly 40 years, beginning his career when steam locomotives were still the standard. So, of course I grew up as a train buff. As with most IMAX documentaries, the photography is excellent and many of the panoramic scenes are breathtaking. From shots taken inside the cab, to the aerials of engine #2816 steaming through the Canadian Rockies, the visuals are spectacular, especially in 4K Ultra (HDR). More so however is the compelling story behind these great images ... the story of how the Canadian transcontinental route was built. A fantastic story. If you're a train lover, then you must add this to your collection. Even if you're not, it's still worth the watch.

The 4K UHD and Dolby Atmos on this disc is the best I've seen/heard yet. If you're a rail fan you need to buy this. Put's you right in/on the engine with some of the best shots I've ever seen in a train film. I'm fortunate to have an Atmos system and when I cranked it up, it was just like sitting in the cab or standing on the platform when a steam engine train arrives. If you're not a rail fan you need to buy this for the history, scenery and all around entertainment. Unfortunately, as with most IMAX films, it's only 45 minutes long. Shame.

The story of building the first Canadian cross country railroad shown in true 4k and HDR. Using the HDR feature, or not, is a setup option. Given its limited length, it doesn't go into great detail but it covers a lot of ground. The phtography and senery are first rate. If you like history and/or steam engines then you'll enjoy this movie.

For UHD TV owners with HDR enabled sets, this film is a terrific display piece. It's actually a very interesting film as well. Although, it's short, I can see watching it again in the future just for the visuals and sound. At a low price point, I recommend this.

now more people have 4k television and blue-ray player every one wants to see haw good their television are this movie will help you show of your set to your friend.

I bought this as a tech demo for my new OLED TV and enjoyed this show. I liked it enough that I will probably watch in again in the future because it was enjoyable to watch.

Incredible 4K video. The clarity and depth is simply amazing. The seanary of the mountains and the detail you can see in the trains are simply amazing. Great demo disk for 4K.

I bought this title just to test my Samsung KS8000's 4K HDR capability. I would say it is an amazing experience. I will definitely watch it again and again for sure.
