Featured reviews
The documentary, which lasts 45 minutes, does not only present us a look to Earth from space, but also enlightens about the greatness of the universe. The question is: if there are more than a 100 billion galaxies far, far away that contain billions of stars, is it possible that there might be a planet in such greatness as Planet Earth?
The narration of Leonardo DiCaprio is also effective for the documentary, which I wish I would've watched in theater- not on my 15 inch laptop!
The researches and developments in technology and science within 5-10 years at least might give us an in depth look about the universe than we do have now.

I had the lucky opportunity to see it in Paris in an IMAX sphere in 3D and just the name attracted me. I have always been a fan of space and my friends got attracted too. Even though it was in French, I just enjoyed watching the whole thing. You were instantly thrown into space right next to an astronaut reinnovating technology years old in weightlessness. The quality and aspects were perfect, even some knowledge and humor was mixed in. Apart from the mission, you can enjoy some stunning views of deep space. In IMAX, you will literally sink into your chair. This movie was so good I went to it twice and would go 3 more times if it still screened. I recommend this movie to all who have a big screen or 3D.
This is a beautiful but a bit light movie on the Hubble telescope. It doesn't delve too much on the history and science behind the Hubble, it's more of an eye candy movie with some beautiful imagery.
It's May 2009. Seven astronauts on-board the Space Shuttle Atlantis are on a mission to save the Hubble Space Telescope. I watched this from the DVD. I'm sure the 3D was amazing although I'm guessing some parts are more conducive to it than others. This should be much more of a thrill ride. There is a bit of information, a little behind-the-scene, and some traveling into the stars. There is a bit too much floating in space footage although the 3D may be fun to have the stars float around the audience. I'm surprised that re-entry and landing is missing from the film. I suspect that's some of the most thrilling aspect of a Space Shuttle ride.
I found this to be a well made and interesting documentary with very good narration. It made good points about space.

- TriviaDuring an interview on the Bob Rivers Show (Seattle, May 2010), director Toni Myers remarked, "One of the things, in our training, we have this shopping list of scenes that we developed together with Ray J [nickname of shuttle pilot Gregory C. Johnson] for the eight minutes, and that's quite prescribed. But we always say: Now, if an alien comes up and looks into the camera, don't not shoot it because it isn't on the list!"
