Movie Reviews of Iditarod: Toughest Race on Earth

Movie Review: Great from start to finish
Summary: 5 Stars

I've had a passing interest in the race after reading about how it got started. I was perusing material and chanced upon this, so I ordered it.

I asked my wife if she wanted to watch it with me, she said it sounded boring, so she passed. I started watching it, and lo and behold, my wife walked by, and sat on the floor just to watch a few minutes. She got hooked, and we watched the whole thing together.

This is a big production. The filmmakers use night-vision, sled cams, dog cams, and helmet cams. They also use helicopters, trucks, and other dog teams to get the shots they want.

2008 was marked by a very close race, and the contest wasn't decided until the last hours of the race. The tension throughout was palpable. There are many interviews, stories about the dogs, and examinations of snow, equipment, food, and tactics.

This is a very enjoyable program that will hold your interest throughout. I wish they had examined more of these races; I enjoyed it enough to want to see more. Superior filmmaking; recommended.
