Hubble 3D

First of: I saw this movie in Imax but not in 3D.

If you are interested in understanding how Hubble operates, its engineering, day-to-day duties of the astronauts or any kind of coherent study of how stars are born and die then this movie will disappoint you.

The movie constantly errs on more emotional side, especially in presenting the astronauts. Some of the narration is also a bit too disingenuous - the crews going up the orbit are presented as some sort of breakthrough heroes doing something that had never been done before them - going into space.

What the movie does offer is spectacular imagery of shuttle launches, Hubble itself, and its "repair" and some light perusal into the astronaut's lives in the orbit. You will also see some spectacular imagery Hubble was able to capture and some explanation of it.

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.

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.

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.

This documentary recounts the space missions deployed to make and fix the giant space telescope that sends back to Earth countless stunning images of the Universe. I watched it in Imax 3D, and I can honestly say the visual effects are stunning. Forget about any other 3D films out there, this is by far the best. Every scene had amazing visual depth, and I felt as if I was right there, watching the space shuttle launches. The space scenes are amazing too, and I remember vividly s scene where an astronaut's gear dangling in space, so three dimensional and so real, as if I was watching the astronaut close up in real life. The scenes of celestial bodies are so beautiful, and I thought u was traveling in space. I was so entranced by the film. It's a must see.
