Editorial Reviews
Description:
SPACE STATION is the first cinematic journey to the International Space Station (ISS), where audiences can experience for themselves life in zero gravity aboard the new station. The audience blasts off into space with the astronauts and cosmonauts from Florida's Kennedy Space Center and Russia's Baikonur Cosmodrome to rendezvous with their new home in orbit 220 miles above Earth. SPACE STATION is a story of challenges, setbacks and triumphs and ultimately, the shared international victory of men and women whose dreams exceed the limits of life on this Earth.DVD Features:

The partnership with NASA and IMAX films continues with a tour of the next step in space exploration: the International Space Station (ISS). Sixteen countries helped build this giant station (still being built upon the film's release in 2004). We see the first building blocks being constructed, including shots from inside the slick NASA shuttle launches to the friendly informalities of the Russian program. The crystal-clear pictures of the station and the Earth are the best aspects of this film. The entertaining footage delivers human elements, but sometimes the carefulness of experimentation makes for boring photography; a test of a super-cool jet pack has the astronaut moving mere inches. To the film's benefit, the narrator is Tom Cruise with a script tailored to his strong suits (the first line of "What an incredible sight!" is vintage Cruise). The film is also so light on its feet with a nice dose of music, including "Up on the Roof" and the Talking Heads "Naive Melody," that it makes up for the staginess of some of the scenes. The film was shown in 3-D in theaters but only 2-D for home video. --Doug Thomas
Customer Reviews Average rating - 4.5
Rating - 2 Date: 2008-11-11
Content: I thought it would have a lot of real space footage. It was mostly astronauts training here on earth and even computer graphics of space. Again, not what I was looking for.
Summary: Not bad, just not what I was looking for.

Content:
It was OK. Bought to see it on my new 60" DLP TV.
My main critique on this DVD was the lack of ability to select chapters and skip the boring parts.
Summary: IMAX

Content: If you have ever been fortunate to see this amazing 3D film in an Imax theatre then this DVD relives the experience, from the shattering launch of the Russian rocket to the superb shots of the earth whilst in orbit. The Imax print produces the usual high quality that we enjoy with all these DVD transfers and if you haven't seen it, get an armchair seat in the International Space Station, it's out of this world!

Content: Unbelievable to learn what we do outside the earths boundries. A little out dated but still great to watch.
Summary: I didn't know.
Rating - 3 Date: 2007-01-07
Content: Nice piece of video documentation in real space life.
Summary: This is a 2d version - take 3D!
