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

All I can say is wow. I saw this twice at KSC and I still would like to see it again. The views of earth are just so beautiful.
 Space Station (IMAX) (2002)-Almost like being aboard the ISS March 29, 2009
Keith Mirenberg (www.spaceanimations.org)
Space Station (2002) was another great IMAX film sponsored by Lockheed Martin that I rate at four or five stars. This film showed the International Space Station (ISS) in the crystal clear high definition we have become accustomed to in all IMAX productions. All of the footage filmed within the space station was taken by the Astronauts who did a fine job.
In addition to absolutely clear footage of two early ISS missions, it featured IMAX coverage of a Russian Proton (~2.5 million pound thrust) mega-booster rocket launching the largest module of the ISS, interior and exterior shots of the Russian Soyuz and Progress spacecraft while docked to the ISS, and coverage of multiple American Space Shuttle launches to service the ISS.
Other wonderful features were included like coverage of missions 7 and 8 to the ISS which, while not filmed in IMAX, provided detailed hand over hand tours of the International Space Station and a good feel for the basic overall layout of the early space station. In addition an interesting documentary on the making of this IMAX production was included.
These features add up to just under 50 minutes of quality IMAX footage as well as the three excellent featurettes which are a bargain for under $10.00 from Amazon. This is definitely one to own and see again and again.
I need bigger TV January 19, 2009
S. Ejiri
We bought it right after we returned from NASA. The content is identical as what we saw at IMAX theatre in FL. This will make you want to buy bigger TV. It is an excellent item.
 Not bad, just not what I was looking for. November 11, 2008
Trish S. (GA USA)
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.

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.
