Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away (3D)

A young woman comes across a circus where a young aerialist catches her eye as he flies through the air with the greatest of ease. Unfortunately, he misses the trapeze swing during one performance and falls to the floor. That impact causes both him and the sand around him to sink into a hole akin to that of an hourglass, followed by the young woman unintentionally slipping down after him. Both end up in a strange world filled with strange circus performers and performances (lifted from various Cirque du Soleil shows in Las Vegas) and where the Aerialist is being held captive by some of those performers. As she tries to track him down, both end up going through the various surreal Cirque performances. This film is releasing in 3D.

Comments	This film has low to mild with impact [sic] with complex themes, low to mild suspense which is sustained and which may upset younger, sensitive viewers. This film does however have strong entertainment value and is suitable for all ages, however children under 10 years need to be accompanied by an adult. There are also imitable acts of dangerous stunts performed by the circus performers, which very young children may attempt to imitate without understanding the dangerous consquences. Therefore, adult accompaniment is strongly recommended.
