Fantastic! In the IMAX format you might as well be sitting on one of the rovers. Roving mars has the ability to rekindle the sense of wonder, one had as a child looking up at the night sky.... Full review

This incredible, true science story was made and released on Imax, but I saw it on DVD. It is straightforward and, while interesting, it has limited entertainment value for those with little interest in the Mars Rover project. It is short... Full review

Butler includes relatively few of the actual Mars photos in "Roving Mars," but gives us tremendous animation of the planet landscape and ground based precisely on the rovers' pictures.
Best known for his "Pumping Iron" and "Shackleton" films, he conceived, co-wrote, and directed the film "Roving Mars," which opened this month at the Museum of Science.

Getting such first-hand information - all the little hows and whys that add up to a single effort - makes the story fresh again.
The film, clocking in at a 45 minutes, is standard IMAX docu fare: a few talking heads, some lush narration, and a whole heap of impressive visuals.

The 40-minute movie, "Roving Mars," which was sponsored by Lockheed Martin and is being released by the Walt Disney Company, tells the story of the mission team's mad dash to ready the rovers for launching in 2003, of the tense moments waiting for them to communicate after landing on Mars, and of the eye-opening discoveries the rovers have made since then. ...
