IMAX: Hubble 3D

Leonardo DiCaprio efficiently narrates this 43-minute IMAX 3-D journey into the farthest reaches of outer space. The film follows the crew of the space shuttle Atlantis on their 2009 rescue mission to repair the ailing Hubble space telescope. We get a rare glimpse into the claustrophobic conditions the astronauts contend with after two years of preparation to perform their technical repairs in 200-below-zero temperatures. The eye-popping kicks into warp drive when the Hubble telescope substitutes for the IMAX camera lens to provide incredibly clear images of galaxies, stars, and nebulae millions of light-years away. The IMAX screen transforms into the best planetarium you've ever experienced as you zip through stars and space dust to get an up-close look at faraway places like the Andromeda Galaxy. "Hubble 3D" is every astronomy lover's dream. No amount of adjectives can fully express the overwhelming vastness, beauty, and richness of colors the Hubble Telescope captures. From the Orion Nebula to the Virgo Cluster, the audience travels on a space journey unlike any other.
