Entertainment Weekly by Owen Gleiberman

Awesome documentary.

Variety by Justin Chang

This educational eye-popper should prove an excellent draw for science lovers of all ages.

The Hollywood Reporter by Kirk Honeycutt

The film, narrated ably by Leonardo DiCaprio, who seems to share the audience's amazement at what is appearing onscreen, is over too quickly in a mere 43 minutes. So line up and see it again.

Wall Street Journal by Joe Morgenstern

Computer travel may not be the real thing, but IMAX makes this an astonishing trip all the same.

Austin Chronicle by Marc Savlov

It's an out-of-this-world, real-life adventure for kids of all ages, budding Neil Armstrongs and Ray Bradburys alike.

88

New York Post by Lou Lumenick

Astonishingly sharp and stunningly beautiful images of galaxies as far as 100 billion light-years away.

Los Angeles Times

It's a movie that not only puts you in space but lets you travel through it with a speed and wonder that would make James T. Kirk go a little weak in the knees.

Los Angeles Times by Glenn Whipp

Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert

A movie like this can get you thinking.

The New York Times by Neil Genzlinger

Dazzling to look at of course. But such ponderous, cliché-heavy narration.

Boston Globe

Is it being a spoilsport to suggest that the Hubble’s original 2-D images are a lot more stupendous than all the IMAX 3-D hurly-burly?

L.A. Weekly

Even at 43 minutes short, with earnest but marketable narration by Leonardo DiCaprio and one amusing zero-gravity taco-preparation scene, Hubble 3-D's perilous endeavors are about as thrilling to watch as plumbers snaking a drain ... in space suits! If you want an eye-popping cosmic epic, rent "Star Trek." If you want interactivity, take the kids to the planetarium.

Time Out by Nicolas Rapold

The 20-year-old Hubble Space Telescope--whose repair mission is the subject of this chronicle--turns out to be a bit of a stage hog, and audiences expecting a blissout of swirling galaxies will wonder why so much time is spent on astronauts sweating over screws and bolts.
