"Wow! I saw this video for the first time in the IMAX at the Huntsville U.S Space & Rocket center. This video gives you a whole new perspective to space flight. I felt as though I was going to literally float out of my chair. And, there is an added bonus of having an excellent narratation from Leonard Nimoy. A must buy!"
Like taking the space shuttle

"This amazing dvd has one of the crispiest images I've ever seen. Filmed using IMAX cameras, only the digital media of the dvd can truly live up to it. Through more than 50 minutes, the apacible music and the soothing voice of Leonard Nemoy's take you trhough a journey of the metaphisical. Learn how the Space Shuttle deploys satellites, what it may take for us to go to other planets, or simply relax and hold your breath at the many sights of earth from 400 KM above ground. If you are into space, this one is a must!"
Blue Planet

"I recently purchased the DVD titled Blue Planet, not the 3 DVD collection, and I loved it! It is an impressively superb documentary that shows our planet from outer space. There is an astronaut that talks about the ozone layer, the atmosphere, etc.. It is worth watching it. I also took it to my classroom and showed it to the eighth grade class. They were hypnotized and enjoyed the documentary. Most importantly, they learned about our planet.
If you are an earth science lover or has a friend who happens to be a science teacher, this would be a treat. I am planning to purchase the other 2 DVD titles about Earth.

"Excellent near Earth orbit photography plus great CGI of Martian and Venerian topography. Shots of the shuttle and various satellites the best!"
Very Good Documentaries!

"My husband and I loved watching these documentaries. However, my son, 5, faded in and out with its more mature teaching style. Great for older space enthusiasts. For my son, I wound up finding a musical adventure, "My Fantastic Field Trip To The Planets," where the planets have faces (very effective for holding young kids' interests). Overall, I recommend this Imax Best of Space Collection, but for the little ones don't expect too much interest."
