Space Station (2002)

Critic Reviews

• , Chicago Tribune

  At its best, Space Station captures the point of view of the space travelers, conveying a sense of awesome mystery and unlimited possibility.

• John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press

  A disappointment for a movie that should have been the ultimate IMAX trip.

• Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

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

• Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

  Outer-space buffs might love this film, but others will find its pleasures intermittent.

• Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post

  Makes even the claustrophobic on-board quarters seem fun.

• Gene Seymour, Newsday

  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.

• Jack Garner, Rochester Democrat and Chronicle

  Visually breathtaking.

• Matt Brunson, Creative Loafing

  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.

• Lawrence Toppman, Charlotte Observer

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

• Herb Lash, Big Movie Zone

  Everywhere the camera looks there is something worth seeing.

• Urban Cinefile Critics, Urban Cinefile

  Succeeds very well in its primary aim of making us gasp.

• Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone, TheMovieChicks.com

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

• Robert Roten, Laramie Movie Scope

  The closest thing to the experience of space travel

• Jordan Reed, Boxoffice Magazine

  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.

• Doris Toumarkine, Film Journal International

  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.

• Ross Anthony, Hollywood Report Card

  Good, -- * Interviews with DP Neihouse and Astronaut Susan Helms *

• Jim Lane, Sacramento News & Review

  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.

• Louis B. Hobson, Jam! Movies

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