Does the "movie" excist? If so, where to get it from?

Cheers!

I believe it was just released. It can at least be bought from http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/videos.h ... aneGPAndes , but possibly other places too.

Hi,

Anyone bought the full DVD already?
Maybe some reviews?

It's also now available in Australia - it's made by the same team that produced the "Gladiators of the Sky". It's another very good production

I already got it (Blu-ray) and I fully confirm the review. But be careful, the Blu-ray puts your player under stress and the not addicted will look at you without any understanding when you're spellbound watching the videos.

Got my copy in Blu-Ray as well. Just awesome, totally agree with the review about the quality of the images and shots. On a Full-HD LED TV it simply stunning.

I think I watched it 3 times in a row in the first couple of days since I received it...

Only thing I found "lacking" is the the "technical" aspect of the race. Since the films are a bit short, it doesn't go into much detail of the race, it's all kind of fast paced, not a "deep" covering of the event.

I was give a link to download this a few months ago - in glorious 1080p!* The narrators voice is American in my copy though.

I'm not sure whether the video is the actual content taken from the Blu-ray or just a promo. The way the content is presented, I would guess the latter, but as I'm not sure, I haven't and won't share it due to the copyright implications.

If it is straight off of the Blu-ray, I'd be disappointed to have shelled out £30 or whatever for it, given the quality of the user generated content on the likes of youtube. As an example, start here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fs666zqMw0s
