Executive Produced by James Cameron, Cirque du Soleil Worlds Away takes audiences on a wondrous journey across the many imaginative landscapes of Cirque du Soleil. Capturing the feats of the extraordinary artists up close using cameras that sometimes soar 70 feet in the air, Cirque du Soleil Worlds Away immerses audiences in the inspiring acrobatics of the world's most glamorous circus troupe.&#8232&#8232

Petite actress and daredevil Erica Linz is at the center of the film, as both an actress and aerial artist. The 'actor-bat' started off climbing trees in Colorado and trying to fly off roofs with pine branch wings before diving into competitive gymnastics. In 2001 she began a decade-long journey when she joined the live Cirque du Soleil show Myst&#232re, followed by a featured role in K&#193. She continued to perform in live Cirque shows through 2012 when she made her feature film debut in Cirque du Soleil Worlds Away.

Flight (15)

(Robert Zemeckis, 2012, Us) Denzel Washington, Don Cheadle, Kelly Reilly. 138 mins

A white-knuckle plane crash is just the beginning of Washington's troubles in this unorthodox drama, which finds his hero-pilot status compromised by the fact that he was high on duty. Between the demons of alcoholism and the aviation authority investigation, he goes into a personal tailspin – but it's not your typical rehab story and you'll want to see how he'll get out of it.

Hyde Park On Hudson (12A)

(Roger Michell, 2012, UK) Bill Murray, Laura Linney, 95 mins

Daniel Day-Lewis won't be losing any sleep over Murray's take on Franklin D Roosevelt. This directionless drama deals with the president's special relationships – first with an obliging cousin (Linney), then with Britain, via a visit from George VI.

Paramount Pictures has debuted two behind-the-scenes featurettes for Cirque du Soleil Worlds Away, the studio's 3D spectacle from director Andrew Adamson and producer James Cameron. The first video showcases Erica Linz, a longtime Cirque performer who plays Mia in the movie, as we go through her daily warm-up routine and see just how limber these artists really are. In the second featurette, we hear from Andrew Adamson and James Cameron about how they brought this stage show to the big screen, along with Erica Linz describing the narrative drive that takes us from the stage to a whole new world.

Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away - Making Worlds Away Featurette

Cirque du Soleil Worlds Away was released December 21st, 2012 and stars Erica Linz, Igor Zaripov, Lutz Halbhubner, John Clarke, Dallas Barnett, Tanya Drewery, Sarah Houbolt, Ascia Maybury. The film is directed by Andrew Adamson.

Chicago – Cirque du Soleil, which began with two street performers in Quebec in 1984, has grown into a multi-million dollar enterprise with shows on every continent and seven simultaneous extravaganzas in Las Vegas. The Vegas shows make up the storyline for “Cirque du Soleil: World’s Away.”

Rating: 3.5/5.0

The style of Cirque – that of an evolution in artsy, acrobatic big top performance – is an acquired taste, and fans of the concept will probably love the 3D film maneuverings of the various Las Vegas shows. But there is also a redundancy in that style, and because the narrative is spare, it does tend to feel like a circus parade infomercial of “visit exciting Las Vegas, and see these shows live!” It’s best to go in with an open mind and heart towards the Cirque zeitgeist, otherwise the piece just blends together, distinctively visual but a bit empty in the creative variation department.
