Powers of Ten is one the finest short science films ever made. The subject matter is timeless, the text and narration are superb. This film will fascinate anyone, of any age, who has wondered about the universe. From the structure of atoms to the farthest galaxies the film provides a powerful sweeping overview.Movie Review: YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this DVD for the 8 minute "The Powers Of Ten". I paid 25 dls plus shipping and handling, and finally I had the chance to watch the two versions of this very short film some have suggested is the most brilliant ever. I wouldn't go that far, but, although this DVD is definitely the most expensive I've ever bought, it's worth it. A good friend of mine who was a novelist used to say every great work of art, no matter how big or small, spoke about everything or almost everything. And that's what this short film does, not only in 8 minutes, but also IN ONE SINGLE CONTINUOUS SHOT. That makes it a great work of art. I wouldn't say it's the most brilliant because I think that's something no one can say about anything, but since I first saw it, every time I have to explain how far short films can go, I start playing Charles and Ray Eames amazing film.
Now, when I bought this DVD, they hadn't still released the 6 disc box set "The Films of Charles & Ray Eames". I've already seen the remaining 5 discs, and although the other works aren't as witty and original as "The Powers Of Ten", you'll find some other shorts worth the purchase, from the slow paced and visually stunning "The Black Ships", about Commodore Perry's arrival to Japan in the XIX century seen through the eyes of the Japanese, to the lovely "Toccata For Toy Trains". My advice is: If you're interested to learn about design or sensitize yourself to material culture, get the full box set. If not, it may be enough to purchase single discs.
Movie Review: Worth Having

I originaly viewed this film in 1981 while at Alfred University. All these years later I purchased to show to my 8th grade technology Education class while we were working on a lesson about the atom. This film not only explored the universe, but important to our class, it then went inward to the sub atomic level. This experience helped the kids get a small feel of just how vastly large as well as incredibly minute our existance really is. A great film, but what else would you expect from the Eames'
