As astoundingly beautiful as it is technically dazzling, Space Station 3D is the first-ever IMAX 3D space film. Audiences will travel 220 miles above Earth at 17, 500 mph to experience Space Station 3D – the greatest engineering feat since landing a man on the moon.
Narrated by Tom Cruise, Space Station 3D is the story of this unique partnership of 16 nations building a laboratory in outer space. The new IMAX film documents life aboard humanity’s new home-away-from-home. Space Station 3D chronicles the challenges, setbacks and triumphs…and ultimately, the shared international victory of men and women whose dreams exceed the limits of life on this Earth.
Produced by IMAX Corporation, and presented by Lockheed Martin Corporation, in cooperation with National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Space Station 3D builds on the IMAX-Lockheed Martin-NASA heritage that began almost 20 years ago and has now produced five major large-format IMAX films; The Dream Is Alive, Blue Planet, Destiny In Space and Mission to MIR. These films have been seen by 70 million IMAX moviegoers around the world.

Reviews for Space Station
It's nice to know there's actually somewhere on this earth -- OK, above this earth -- where America is cooperating with other countries rather than p***ing them off.
A sense of peace pervades every element of this movie, from astronauts' chats to the gentle floating shots of the station.
At its best, Space Station captures the point of view of the space travelers, conveying a sense of awesome mystery and unlimited possibility.
If you ever wanted to be an astronaut, this is the ultimate movie experience - it's informative and breathtakingly spectacular.
The 3D images only enhance the film's otherworldly quality, giving it a strange combo of you-are-there closeness with the disorienting unreality of the seemingly broken-down fourth wall of the movie screen.
The immersive powers of the giant screen and its hyper-realistic images are put to perfect use in the breathtakingly beautiful outer-space documentary Space Station 3D.
A disappointment for a movie that should have been the ultimate IMAX trip.
The 3-D vistas from orbit, with the space station suspended like a huge set of wind chimes over the great blue globe, are stanzas of breathtaking, awe-inspiring visual poetry.
IMAX films can sometimes feel like a gimmick, but this is one subject that demands a scope as big as the imagination.
As a simulation though, Space Station 3-D definitely takes you to a different place.
