Movie Reviews of Space Station (IMAX)
Movie Review: Absolutely Awe-Inspiring!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Sit back and relax. You are about to experience one of the best trips you will ever take...unless, of course, you are lucky enough to actually GO into space.
I wasn't able to see this movie when it was in IMAX theaters because I didn't have a theater near where I lived. I just got the DVD as a gift and, honestly, I would not have minded paying for it myself.
I watched the DVD on my laptop and the quality of the video was jaw-dropping impressive. I then moved over to the TV to watch it and it didn't miss a beat when it came to quality. The visuals are so stunning, I actually took screen-captures and am currently using them as desktop wallpaper. I don't think words can describe how great the DVD was as far as picture quality, so I hope that helped.
If you aren't a big fan of Tom Cruise (like myself), don't worry as his voice isn't in it too much. Although I must admit, he did a great job with his narration. Luckily, most of the narration you get is from the crews that have been on the ISS, which makes it a lot more interesting.
Someone had mentioned that the extras were the best part. While I agree that they were great, I think the whole package is evenly great. The movie itself gives you some awe-inspiring visuals and information about what it is like to live onboard the ISS, while the extras give you more info about the ISS itself (i.e. a tour of the station).
The worst part about this documentary, for me at least, was the fact that I didn't get to see it in an IMAX theater. If you are, or know somebody who is, a space fanatic, or just like IMAX videos, this is without a doubt one of the best purchases you can make.
Movie Review: A visually stunning and personal look inside the International Space Station
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not a real space fan but I saw this DVD in a store a couple of days ago and decided to buy it. After watching this DVD, I regret not seeing this documentary in the IMAX Theater. This documentary gives you an intimate look from the astronauts and cosmonauts' point of view that visited and lived on the International Space Station. You get an experience that is visually completely out of this world and an inside view of what goes on in the International Space Station (and how it was build). The views, footage, and image quality are absolutely breathtaking, both inside and outside the space station. Way better than the regular footage you see on TV. My advice however is to look at this DVD at night in complete darkness. The camera work the astronauts and cosmonauts did is amazing. This is also the first time I looked at the whole documentary over again but with the audio commentary which was very interesting to listen to. I also looked at all the bonus features. This inside look at the International Space Station on this DVD is truly amazing and something I will probably never experience.Movie Review: The (War) Eagle Has Landed!
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw Space Station once at Kennedy Space Center and twice at the BFI IMAX in London, England and have been eagerly anticipating the DVD release. As a certified space geek and Auburn grad, it was especially pleasing to see Col. Jim Voss '72 doing so well. Probably the only downside to the film is the narrattion by Mr. Katie Holmes...I mean, Tom Cruise. But honestly, you won't be paying much attention to Mr. Holmes' (dangit, I mean Mr. Cruise's) dialogue, as your attention will be transfixed on the incredible camerawork. A worthy addition to my IMAX space collection, I give it a 5/5.Movie Review: Really a Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not a great fan of documentry type movies but this one was really good. I was surpised that it only lasted 43 minutes but then I watched the version with the commentary by one of the astronauts and a producer (I think). The commentary version gave another perspective. Then there was a tour that was done by a male astronaut. I think he was just floating through and giving a tour like one would do when touring their new home to a friend. It was very insightful. I really wish I would have seen the IMAX version in the theater although the DVD version is great.Movie Review: Great movie that is very educational and good for kids
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this DVD with medium hopes of watching some good footage of the Space Station. I watched it with my 5 year old daughter and we both learned a lot. I have a big screen HDTV and a DVD player that up converts from 480 to 1080 and it was stunning. Tom Cruise "The Self Proclaimed Know-It-All" narrated it, which to me was a draw back hearing his voice but I was able to get over it. I give it 5 stars, even tom cruise could not screw this one up.
