Movie Reviews of Space Station (IMAX)

Movie Review: Interesting, Educational, and Uplifting Documentary by IMAX...
Summary: 5 Stars

Those shinny small things that emerge during a cloudless night when sight out in space is clear have always intrigued mankind. The curiosity for the stars and space has led people from several countries to seek more knowledge about space and in recent times the studies have even allowed for space travel. However, space travel is very dangerous and not as easy, as can be observed in Star Wars films and other science fiction films. It takes much preparation and knowledge to avoid a possible deadly accident, which eventually brings the people out in space.

IMAX presents another fantastic documentary, and this time it brings the audience to the end of the horizon and beyond out to space. It is a venture that depicts a multinational project to build a space station where research can be done in zero gravity and preparations for further space exploration. It is a gigantic project that brings the audience on a visual feast of how the space station is built and the how much hard work the astronauts and cosmonauts from several different countries have to put in. It is fortunate that the world can witness such a visual display provided by IMAX, as it will undoubtedly mesmerize most viewers.

A very detailed CGI sequence opens the documentary, which leads the audience to learn about some of dangers that lurk in vacuum space. Intermittently, the opening generates a feeling that the viewer is the astronaut in danger through first person visuals, as two voices calmly discuss how to get to safety. It feels bizarre, as most people would panic and that would increase the danger. However, shortly after it shows that it is a virtual reality simulator where the astronauts practice several potentially dangerous situations in order to prepare for what could possibly happen in space.

Through the narration of Tom Cruise and the astronauts in the film much is revealed in regards to the several steps and the teamwork required to bring up the different sections of the space station to space. Russians, Americans, and many other nationalities cooperate in order to achieve the goal of a finished space station. In one scene, earth is depicted from space when one of the astronaut's voices informs the audience about the absences of borders when viewing earth from space. The concept of borderless nations seems also to exist between the people working on the space station project, as differences are put aside and all attention is focused on what is important-the space station. It is peaceful feeling that many will wish existed on earth, and maybe it can be an example that people with differences can coexist.

Space Station generates a suspended experience that seems to hang on a thin thread, as if something could go wrong at any moment. It is not suspense, but a careful feeling, as if the viewer actually did participate in the building of the space station. The feeling of participation augments the worthwhile visual experience, because it makes the space station project seem so much more important. Cumulatively, Space Station leaves the viewer with the notion of importance in studying the stars and space, which have generated much curiosity among the people of the world for millennia.
