Rating: Summary: Poor value for money Review: Despite being a space anorak, I was disappointed. At around 35mins per DVD, it's clear they'd all fit on just one - it'd be a good deal at 1/5th the price. The packaging is basic; no further content or data on the cases. And cheap-looking DVDs...Content is fun, but only fascinating in part. About what you'd expect from a decent TV documentary. The IMAX format is lost even on my widescreen setup, and the resulting wide-angle distortion is sometimes a distraction. Tech note: I also noticed poor colour resolution - distinct colour graduations which I've not seen on other DVDs. Perhaps a coincidence, but I doubt it. Very disappointing. Sorry to be curmundgeonly.
Rating: Summary: IMAX films are almost always 4:3 format Review: I love the IMAX films but was disappointed that these DVD's were in standard 4:3, not widescreen 16:9 or 2.35:1. Also, the audio naration is often drowned-out by the background music and is hard to hear. Otherwise, the shots and scenes are outstanding.
Rating: Summary: IMAX Space Collection in standard format Review: I love the IMAX films but was disappointed that these DVD's were in standard 4:3, not widescreen 16:9 or 2.35:1. Also, the audio naration is often drowned-out by the background music and is hard to hear. Otherwise, the shots and scenes are outstanding.
Rating: Summary: disapointing Review: If you want to get a lot of brilliant space and launch shots, you won't find them here. The best parts of these movies could fit on one disc. "Dream" and "Destiny" are the better ones. It's kind of creepy watching all of this taking place onboard Challenger.
Rating: Summary: IMAX films are almost always 4:3 format Review: That's because IMAX theaters are that same 4:3 format. To get widescreen you'd have to either lose picture on the top and bottom, or stretch the screen out over two blocks.
Rating: Summary: Simply beautiful & inspiring! Review: These DVD's contain some of the finest video of space and of our planet Earth. Taken over many missions and years by the astronauts in high-definition IMAX film, there are some truly georgeous and inspirational shots here. It's a fantastic collection, and really should be in every video library! I love each tape but am particularly fond of "Destiny in Space". Also includes footage from the Russian MIR space station.

Rating: Summary: Space Dome remembered Review: This is the perfect way to remember our Saturday nights that we spent taking the kids to eat chicken fingers and then to space dome to see destiny in space or the dream is alive. This is one level 2 counselor that wishes the management of the Space and Rocket Center hadn't driven me away. Bring the Duce back!!!
