• In the brand-new Cinerama Adventure (which premiered in final form at the Chicago International Film Festival), aficionado David Strohmaier assembles six years of research to chart the history of this grandaddy of today's blockbusters, but with the same seat-of-the-pants spirit that informed the creation of the process itself. ... This simulates the Cinerama experience (complete with seams), but in conventionally-equipped theaters, and persuasively demonstrates its chops by sending tummies into freefall when replaying the famed roller coaster opening. ...
• Approaching the innovation as pop culture Americana, and a major chapter in the history of movie showmanship, the director tracks down and records invaluable interviews with the surviving members of the Cinerama team, as well as colleagues and relatives of the many colorful personalities responsible for its sensational success. ...
• Intended to exist outside the Hollywood system from the outset, Cinerama was first exclusively presented in a Broadway theater the producers rented on their own.

• Providing clips from all of Cinerama's nonfiction films, the director resurrects a spectacular whitewater rafting incident on the Indus River (that resulted in death) and a perilous proto-bungee jumping ceremony in the South Seas, but also intelligently addresses the problems that thwarted Cinerama's use in narrative films. ...

• sponsored a Cinerama movie to foil the Soviet Union's attempts to trumpet its technological advances at an expo in Damascus. ...
• Merely as a monumental title, This Is Cinerama continues life echoed in This Is Spinal Tap, but Strohmaier wittily links the original's roller-coaster to Indiana Jones's bumpy thrill-ride through the underground mine (although the process itself cannot be blamed for the excesses of later junk action films). ...

• Before We Get Started After many years with no Cinerama features being shown in any theatre in the world, we are gradually beginning to see some of them return. ... Willem Boumeester managed to get Cinerama installed in the The National Museum of Photography, Film & Television in Bradford, England with the able assistance of American John Harvey, and surviving European Cinerama prints were a big draw to a small English university town. Harvey and Larry Smith moved John's projectors and prints to a small theatre in Dayton, Ohio and Cinerama ran at the New Neon Cinema for three and a half years, slightly longer than the one month initial schedule, and people literally traveled from all over the world to see these screenings. Harvey and Smith brought the prints to Seattle for the grand opening of the refurbished Martin Cinerama theatre, funded by Microsoft guzillionaire Paul Allen and the theatre filled up. Our Australian mate, John Mitchell, who'd been running his old Cinerama prints in his back yard theatre for years, recorded duplicate copies of some of the seven channel magnetic soundtracks as the originals were sometimes no longer useable or were completely lost, and those duplicates made on his garage setup are of astonishing quality. ...
• And the man that has done the most to keep the Cinerama torch lit is producer, director, writer, editor David Strohmaier, who has spent almost six years researching the history of Cinerama after seeing one of Harvey's screenings, and has unearthed lost negatives and coordinated the refurbishment of This Is Cinerama as well as making Hollywood aware of the Cinerama legacy. Few people could have assembled a documentary as insightful as Cinerama Adventure, and no one has the tenacity to bring new life into these remarkable films as has our good friend, David Strohmaier.

• The Cinerama Dome is one of the few round movie theatres you will ever see. It was built in 1963 to present special "Cinerama" movies. Cinerama was a wide-screen format of the early 60's, which used three separate 35mm projectors and a vast curved screen to present realistic travelogues.
