Movie Reviews of Big Space Shuttle
Movie Review: Fun and educational , but production values could be better
Summary: 3 Stars
I enjoyed this video with a three and five year old. It kept the three year old's attention, and to a lesser extent, also the five year old's. I'm no film expert, but it did strike me that, in some ways, the sound and picture quality could be more polished. I think I was just expecting more because the video was so highly rated here on Amazon. Nonetheless, it was enjoyable, and the three year old mentioned that he would like to go to space camp like the kids in the video.
Summary of Big Space Shuttle
This video from the wise Big Adventure series gives kids a great overview of the space program using simple graphics, a soundtrack featuring kids' questions, and plenty of footage not seen on TV. The film follows one space crew through selection, training, and flight, providing some amazing facts about the mass of the space shuttle. Often the video goes on too long about specifics--reentry tiles, or the specific scientific experiments on board--but overall this kind of documentary has rarely been handled better. For ages 5 and up, but 3-year-old fans of space exploration will be happy to view the pictures. Parenting Magazine named it one of 1998's best videos for kids. The Big Adventure series scans a number of fascinating subjects (airplanes, aquariums, and even renovations) and is a series to seek out. --Doug ThomasEducational DVD Video
