The film's greatest moments take place in space. There, words are unnecessary, the images transfixing.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
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.
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.
Wall Street Journal by Joe Morgenstern
Truly transporting film.
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.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) by Liam Lacey
The film is a vertiginous experience of hanging 350 kilometres above the Earth.
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.
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.
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.
Like a really, really high-tech version of a high school class trip to the planetarium.
