Synopsis: 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... 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. [More]

  • 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.

    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.

    If you ever wanted to be an astronaut, this is the ultimate movie experience - it's informative and breathtakingly spectacular.

    Anyone who ever fantasized about space travel but can't afford the $20 million ticket to ride a Russian rocket should catch this IMAX offering.

    IMAX films can sometimes feel like a gimmick, but this is one subject that demands a scope as big as the imagination.

    The biggest problem with this movie is that it's not nearly long enough.

    In a normal screen process, these bromides would be barely enough to sustain an interstitial program on the Discovery Channel. But in Imax 3-D, the clichés disappear into the vertiginous perspectives opened up by the photography.

    As a simulation though, Space Station 3-D definitely takes you to a different place.

    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.

    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.

    It's one thing to read about or rail against the ongoing - and unprecedented - construction project going on over our heads. It's quite another to feel physically caught up in the process.

    A sense of peace pervades every element of this movie, from astronauts' chats to the gentle floating shots of the station.

    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.

    This is what IMAX was made for: Strap on a pair of 3-D goggles, shut out the real world, and take a vicarious voyage to the last frontier -- space.
