The first premise of a documentary is that it should provide information and hopefully be entertaining. The Cinerama Adventure meets both criteria hands down. The idea of taking what was the biggest motion picture format of its time and arguably of all time and presenting it in a greatly diminished format (perhaps as small as an average television) and still being able to impart some of the impact of the original presentation is probably conceited. Dave Strohmaier has succeeded admirably in his efforts. I have seen many movies that almost have popcorn breaks built into them. While some viewers may consider that there are such breaks in CA, I might suggest that if there are any, there had better not be a line at the concession stand or you will miss significant portions of a comprehensive, well researched and thoughtfully compiled history of a film process that is only presented very limited venues on a very limited schedule.
