About this movie

Twelve people have walked on the moon, but only one man – Philippe Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) – has ever walked in the immense void between the World Trade Center towers. Guided by his real-life mentor, Papa Rudy (Ben Kingsley), and aided by an unlikely band of international recruits, Petit and his gang overcome long odds, betrayals, dissension and countless close calls to conceive and execute their mad plan. Academy Award® winning director Robert Zemeckis uses advanced technology in the service of an emotional, character-driven story. The Walk is a love letter to Paris and New York City in the 1970s, but most of all, to the Towers of the World Trade Center.

Though I love watching biography films or films based on true events, I am not in favour of this movie pretty much. I do admire how courageous and how clear and confident the Walker has been planning to challenge the WTO, the slow motion of movie makes me fall asleep a few times. If you do like explore further about a true explorer, watch it; otherwise, skip it!

This was an excellent movie. I loved almost everything about it including the 3d! My only complaint about the movie is that I thought that the movie was a little too silly at times. It almost seemed like it was put into the movie so kids wouldn't get scared. It almost makes me wonder if those things really happened. In any case the movie was really good and I would highly recommend checking it out. I would rate this movie an 8.5 out of 10.

Curious to see this for easter eggs since Robert Zemeckis predicted the demolition of the towers in Back 2 The Future. Interesting how the main character is wearing Marty McFly's outfit.. Don't believe me? Research it and WAKE UP!!! While you're at it, research building 7. Don't be a sheeple.
