    It was the ultimate year for the historical making of EXTREME - filmed with IMAX® cameras. Skiing and snowboarding perilous untouched mountain peaks; climbing vertical frozen waterfalls and magnificent red-rock spires; surfing some of the largest waves ever surfed and windsurfing El Nino strength winds, EXTREME takes audiences to the action of outdoor adventure sports like never before.

    EXTREME combines incredible extreme sport action with narration from the athletes and an eclectic, contemporary soundtrack as it explores the paradox of human nature: facing fear from the edge of life. EXTREME shares an understanding of those who have made their passion a lifestyle and provides a unique glimpse into the relationship between nature and humanity - of an earth at its most surreal and athletes who continuously strive to feel her magnanimous, powerful shapes. By capturing the calculated precision of sport in the most intimidating elements of nature on 15/70mm film (with a negative 10 times the size of traditional 35mm film, allowing images to be projected crystal clear onto 8-story-high screens) viewers will see and experience the action as though they are actually there.

    EXTREME guarantees an assembly of the best athletes in the world, including a number of past and current world champions, as they challenge the most intimidating forces of nature during her most volatile year.

　　一次与极限运动的近距离接触，体验冒险者惊心动魄的非凡之旅。罗斯·克拉克·琼斯在……的潮汐中尽情冲浪，持续20天之久的猛烈暴风雪吸引4名滑雪者冲下阿拉斯加最陡峭的山腰，攀岩专家林恩·希尔将攀登令人闻风丧胆的犹他岩层，以此展现运动员不惜冒着生命危险也要完成英勇壮举的意志，赞颂生命的激情。

    这对极限运动影片来说可真是重大的一年--用IMAX摄像机拍摄.从险峻的山峰上进行的滑雪和滑板运动,在垂直的冰冻瀑布和红色岩石上的攀岩运动;在厄尔尼诺强风下引起的巨大海浪下的冲浪运动, 《极限运动》带给观众从未有过的户外体育运动的精彩体验。
