From the big top to the big screen, visionary filmmaker James Cameron and director Andrew Adamson (Shrek, Narnia) invite you and your family on an all new 3D adventure: Cirque du Soleil Worlds Away. A young couple who is separated, must journey through the astonishing and dreamlike worlds of Cirque du Soleil to find each other, as audiences experience the immersive 3D technology that will allow them to leap, soar, swim, and dance with the performers. This Holiday Season, Cirque du Soleil brings their world to your city! -- (C) Paramount
This is a spectacular film with beautiful visuals. It is typical Cirque du Soleil featuring incredibly talented acrobats and staging. Film as opposed to a live show presents a lot of freedom for the directors to show you parts of the performances that you would never see sitting in a theater seat. It has its advantages and also some disadvantages. The directors James Cameron
and Andrew Adamson teamed up to bring the viewer a unique perspective and the use of slow-motion and 3D is at times both spellbinding and at other times distracting.
The story consists of bits and pieces of several of the Cirque du Soleil shows currently playing in Las Vegas tied together by the two characters Mia and the Aerialist. It is visually lush, romantic, sensual, with fantastic sets and their trademark costumes that at times may incorporate a playful touch of eroticism, but there is no nudity nor anything blatant or offensive.
Plot
A young woman is entranced by an Aerialist. When they fall into the
dreamlike world of Cirque du Soleil and are separated, they travel
