Given the subject matter this is a great example of the use of cg since as we well know there is no more WTC to film.

I remember when the EXCORCIST was released and there were widespread reports of people having seizures in theater lobbies because supposedly there were subliminal images embedded into the film. That got everybody all stirred up and was great advertising for the film. Personally, if I go see this, I'll be going alone. My wife is so terrified of heights, she gets nauseous on a short step ladder.

I saw Petit in summer 1970, doing “street performance” in Paris, and then a few years later when I heard about the Twin Towers project, I knew it was the same guy.

I remember taking a group of 8th graders to DC, As part of the trip we went to the IMAX theater at the Space Museum. They showed the film, Up and Beyond , or some such movie. I got such a case of vertigo from it that I was almost physically ill during the entire 4 hour ride home on the bus.

I cannot handle intense movies. I watched the t.v. promos for this film; and, just from that brief encounter, I knew it would be too intense for me. Now, add vertigo (I also have a fear of heights), and this is a no-go film for me. Hubby wants to see The Martian. Anybody out there in Freeperland seen that yet?

All you need is one person getting sick and the power of suggestion takes over and spreads out across the audience.

I don’t think I could watch this movie without thinking about the poor people jumping from the towers and the smashed bodies on the ground 27 years later.

Based on tweets and first person accounts from inside the theaters, it seems like people are getting sick from the immense vertigo induced by seeing The Walk.Heck, I found Nic Wallenda's tightrope walk over Niagara Falls vertiginous, and I was watching that on a 13-inch TV. I can't imagine watching something like that in 3D on a movie screen doing anything good to my internals.

Absolutely. I’m a big fan of 3D and cgi, even if most of it is wasted on mediocre stories. I’m also not big on heights, but I want to see this one on the big screen.
