L.A. Weekly by Ron Stringer
You may as well watch the movie too, if only so that another of life's astonishing possibilities won't have entirely passed you by.

Chicago Reader by Bill Stamets
The 3-D effect is fun: during a thrilling launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, hurtling debris cracks the camera lens, and I found myself checking my goggles for damage.

Village Voice by Dennis Lim
You're paying for the view, and it's truly breathtaking.

The film's greatest moments take place in space. There, words are unnecessary, the images transfixing.

New York Post by Megan Lehmann
This is what IMAX was made for: Strap on a pair of 3-D goggles, shut out the real world, and take a vicarious voyage to the last frontier -- space.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) by Liam Lacey
The film is a vertiginous experience of hanging 350 kilometres above the Earth.

Charlotte Observer by Lawrence Toppman
Worthwhile IMAX look at the ways nations cooperated to build Space Station Destiny, and what they hope to achieve.

Variety by Scott Foundas
Like a really, really high-tech version of a high school class trip to the planetarium.

TV Guide Magazine by Ken Fox
The film is sponsored by Lockheed Martin with the cooperation of NASA, both of which are deeply involved in the development of the ISS, so it's not surprising that none of the questions that have swirled around this project -- like, who'll foot the bill if any one country defaults on its contribution? -- are answered, or even addressed.

New Times (L.A.) by Gregory Weinkauf
What's in it for you? Mostly a bunch of astronauts and cosmonauts onboard the International Space Station, floating around filming each other.

The New York Times by Dave Kehr
If nothing else, Space Station 3-D is a film that agoraphobics and claustrophobics can agree on. Members of both groups should stay home.

San Francisco Chronicle by Mick LaSalle
Yet it fails to enchant for a reason that might not be fair, but that's just how it is: We've seen outer space simulated so well in sci-fi movies that the real thing seems like old stuff.
