So you wanna spend umpteen million bucks and go visit the space station? Why not just spend eight bucks and go see this movie? That way you get the weightlessness without the nausea (unless you're sitting too close to the... Full review

Narrated by Tom Cruise, this is a fine documentary on the building and flying of the space station. Long takes of zero gravity work. Coverage of the Russian launches. It is a well put together piece in I-Max in space... Full review

The only thing that I didn't like about this movie was threading it through the projector. IMAX 3D movies require two prints, one for the left eye, and one for the right eye. So it takes us projectionists twice as... Full review

The first 3D space adventure from IMAX was worth the wait. This film chronicling the first stages of construction of Space Station Alpha from the launch of Zarya to the Expedition Two crew was incredible. The 3D effects during launch... Full review

Partially filmed in zero gravity by astronauts equipped with specially designed cameras, Space Station 3D is (like practically every IMAX film) both spectacular and hokey.
This is literally filmmaking on the largest possible scale, and the physical lift afforded by the 3D IMAX format offers us at least an inkling of what it might be like to float around in space - though frankly, it's hard to tell the difference between these documentary images and the usual Hollywood digital effects.

The actual film credits Astronauts and Cosmonauts as the filmers but the DVD package cover eliminates mention of our Russian friends.
