Anyone seen the movie Wired To Win? http://www.wiredtowinthemovie.com

It's follows Baden Cooke and his French teammate Jimmy Caspar at the Tour de France and shows how their brain works... or something like that. Sounds interesting and I'm sure the images they have from the Tour would be awesome on the big screen too.

I'm thinking about going to MSI Chicago to see it in OmniMax. Think it is worth it?

they should have followed growth hormone and shown how his brain works....it would have been a much shorter, less complicated and obtuse movie. but no one wants a good farce/tragedy nowadays.

This was the movie originally filmed about one of the Hamilton twins a few years ago. Tyler 1 or 2 made great copy until his evil bro appeared the following year. The producers had to re shoot and pick scraps off the editing room floor to get what is left.

I drove down to Boston from Maine to see it and I wish I hadn't. It left me kind of flat. It's kind of cool, but the race coverage is not the center of attraction. Sure, Imax is huge and impressive, but I'd rather see a movie on cycling than a movie on the brain while cycling.

On a side note: it almost made my girlfriend vomit from motion sickness. So if you're into that . . .

I second the sea sickness- both me and my wife. To much info on the brain. Its kind of interesting at first but they seem to re-hash it alot.There is some good footage of the tour, just take your dramamine.

I liked it. Saw it twice, actually (the second time was free) and like it more on the second viewing. Read more here (http://forums.thepaceline.net/showthread.php?t=13564&highlight=wired+win).
