The Walk 4K 2015 Ultra HD 2160p

We’ve already been to the Moon 12 times. But only one person in the world has ever walked across the abyss on a steel cable stretched between the Twin Towers in New York—aerial acrobat Philippe Petit, who could not have brought this daring and crazy plan to life without the help and support of his friends and his mentor, Papa Rudy. Thanks to the mastery of director Robert Zemeckis, creator of such masterpieces as *Forrest Gump*, “Cast Away,” “Back to the Future,” and “The Polar Express,” as well as innovative technologies and the IMAX® 3D format, viewers will literally be immersed in the atmosphere of the city of skyscrapers and, together with the main character, walk along a tightrope at a dizzying height. This thrilling and spectacular cinematic adventure, based on real events, will particularly appeal to movie theater audiences and fans of the big screen.

User Review

‘Think big’ (c)—that’s the slogan for the IMAX format in which I watched this amazing film. And the fact is that the new film by Robert Zemeckis, who has already given the world such magnificent films as ‘Forrest Gump’, ‘Back to the Future,’ and ‘Contact,’ fits this slogan perfectly—not because of the square footage of the IMAX screen, but because this film itself tells us: dream big, and your dreams will be rewarded.

Why did I bring up IMAX right from the start? The answer is simple: because this is exactly the format in which you need to watch ‘The Walk’. The stunning visuals will help you immerse yourself in the film’s atmosphere and grasp its meaning, and develop a sense of empathy for the main character—without which watching this film simply makes no sense. Of course, I don’t mean to say that the film should be watched exclusively in this format, but if you want to truly understand and feel the spirit of *The Walk*—this is the place to be.

The film’s plot may seem simple and linear—and let’s be honest, it is—but at the same time, it is imbued with the idea that dominates it: the very thought that the creators of this captivating film wanted to share with the audience. And for the sake of that idea—no matter how familiar it may be to you—it’s worth watching as the determined Philippe pursues his seemingly impossible dream. Essentially, that’s all you need to know if you haven’t seen Zemeckis’s new creation yet—you’ll see the rest there, in the theater. And perhaps, like me, this story won’t leave you indifferent, and you’ll feel for yourself that spirit of enthusiasm and ambition that this film literally breathes.

Generally speaking, if we’re talking about the plot, it can be compared to a sort of allusion to the very process of filmmaking itself, and then the film’s plot takes on a new dimension: after all, if even an experienced tightrope walker has to be at the very limit of his senses and abilities when he stands on a rope stretched from one building to another, and both of these buildings are 110 stories tall, what can be said about renowned directors, who must also lose their balance for even a fraction of a second—and if they fall, they fall along with their creation.

Everyone will decide for themselves what to take away from *Walk*, and some may simply enjoy its beautiful, colorful visuals, but there’s no denying that it can inspire us to follow our dreams and make them a reality.

Virtually all the acting here rests on the shoulders of the lead actor—Joseph Gordon-Levitt—who once again proves to us all just how talented he is. Having already worked with many outstanding directors, his collaboration with Zemeckis is particularly noteworthy for the sincerity with which he portrays Philip. The acting in the film isn’t flashy; it’s exactly as it should be. The rest of the cast, particularly the actress playing the lead female role, Charlotte Le Bon, did an excellent job portraying their characters, making them as realistic yet as interesting as possible. Of course, we must also mention Ben Kingsley, who played a role—albeit not a major one, but a very important one for the story—as the mentor, a part that fit him like a glove.

The music in the film also fits the atmosphere—it doesn’t take center stage but serves more as a backdrop, while at the same time highlighting particularly dramatic moments. There are also many moments in the film where there is no music at all, which also serves to create a special atmosphere of realism. Although speaking of realism, we shouldn’t forget that we’re watching a Robert Zemeckis film, and it certainly has a touch of poetry, presented in a very familiar yet uniquely distinctive manner.

In conclusion, I’d like to once again highlight the film’s visuals—Darius Wolski, who also shot Ridley Scott’s The Martian, did an absolutely stunning job. The landscapes, shots, angles, and camera movements—it all looks incredibly spectacular and beautiful. Thank you to him for such a stunningly beautiful film. It takes great talent to make a film without much action as great as he has done. And, of course, thank you to Robert Zemeckis for giving us yet another wonderful film, one that can be called quite personal even for the director himself.

‘The Walk’ is a film about a Dream. A Dream with a capital D. A Dream worth striving for. A Dream that at first seems impossible, but then takes shape and beckons. A Dream that can bring a person peace. ‘It's very simple. Everyone thinks it's impossible. But there is one brave soul who doesn't agree…’ (c) Albert Einstein
