IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

With The Walk, based on the extraordinary true story (and the basis for the Oscar-winning documentary Man On Wire), legendary director Robert Zemeckis has crafted one of the most intense 3D experiences of the past few years (seriously, if you can get through the above trailer without getting dizzy, you have our eternal respect).
