Awesome and incredible!! You are right there for launches, simulations, orbiting the Earth,
and onboard the station. In the 3D viewing, the images are right in front of you, you
are the person filming the movie, it's that up close! The images are very sharp, you can see
all the details, even around the the edges of the screen. The launch of the Russian Proton
rocket with the first piece of the station is quite a scene with a camera placed at ground level near the pad. The debree from
launch looking like it is hitting you in the face and the surround sound at the volume played
is almost jarring. The detail is of spacewalks and the interior of the station is amazing, you can read all the labels on the equipment.
Also nice is being inside the shuttle during a launch and seeing the Florida coast as the
shuttle begins its' roll maneuver. The shots of the station in space are quite spectacular
and breathtaking. Most impressive of all is that, except for a short part at the beginning
of the movie that is a virtual training excersise, it is all real, no special effects. If you want to go to into orbit but think you will never have the opportunity, this is about as close as you can get with out being there. See it in 3D
if you can, one GREAT movie!!

I saw it last Monday at the Air and Space Museum in DC! Really awesome movie, except I have a tremondous(sp?) fear of heights to the point I get sick and pass out, frown the one part in the movie almost made me embarass myself in front of a alot of 12 yr olds!! mad (my sons 7th grade chorus song on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial laugh )
Terrific movie see it if you get a chance!!!! cool
