IMAX: Space station (DVD)

iMAX: Space station (DVD)

So this is where our tomorrows begin: 220 miles above the Earth and moving at a speed of 17,500 MPH while aboard the most complex scientific project ever assembled: the International Space Station (ISS).

Tom Cruise narrates this fascinating look at the high-flying laboratory where today´s space heroes develop technologies that will make possible future human voyages to Mars as well as provide new solutions to earthbound problems. Highlights include the station´s in-orbit construction, plus amazing glimpses of crew members as they work, exercise or do routine tasks like getting a haircut or drinking water (in zero gravity, you can snap a floating glob of H2O out of the air like a frog snatching a fly!). Suit up, travellers!

Space Station was filmed in the IMAX format and exhibited in IMAX theaters worldwide. This video version is digitally mastered from original 70MM film elements with the sound components specially mixed and mastered to produce the highest quality Dolby Surround soundtrack.
