The IMAX "Cosmic Voyage" film was made as a public service with sponsorship by the Smithsonian Air and Space museum. On DVD, borrowed from my local public library, it plays at just over 30 minutes with Morgan Freeman supplying a pleasing narrative. As one would expect from an IMAX film, the image quality is superb and the Dolby 5.1 sound track is very well done. Simulated cosmic explosions shake your walls! That is, if you have a good powered subwoofer in your system. 　　The film takes a very useful approach to examining the size of the universe, from tiny sub-atomic particles to the vastness of the whole universe. (Fortunately, when God created the Universe he had dispatched a few angels with video cameras at different vantage points so we get to see actual footage from several billion years ago.) The film starts in Venice, where the discovery of the telescope originated, and uses a one-meter hoop as a reference point, then gradually goes larger by powers of 10, e.g. 10 meters, 100, 1000, etc until we can see the whole universe. Then it takes the opposite journey, going smaller by powers of 10 until be see inside sub-atomic particles. 　　The story is well-woven with beautiful effects created especially for this film. It is entertaining and educational at the same time. All of "oldsters" can enjoy it for the scientific history we are already familiar with, and all the "youngsters" can enjoy it for the educational supplement it provides. Overall a masterful film. 　　Any numerical "rating" of "Cosmic Voyage" is meaningless. If one is looking for a superb film about our universe and modern theories of its formation, this one is hard to beat. Kudos to IMAX and to the Air and Space Museum. 　　肉眼只能看见穹苍一角。凝视夜空，但见繁星点点，偶尔一颗流星划破夜空，但你可曾看见恒星死亡前的最后爆发？瞪视双手，你或会看见点点尘垢，但你又可曾看见组成皮肤的原子在颤动？因为眼不能见，我们只能纵驰想像，去探索这个深邃广阔的宇宙。 　　本片获第六十九届奥斯卡金像奖最佳纪录短片提名.

数千年来，人类对月球充满着好奇与幻想。这个天上的邻居，至今还有许多未解之谜。上世纪五十年代末开始，美国与前苏联开展了太空竞赛，完成了人类对月球的最初探索。随后，美苏两国相继停止登月计划，中国展开探月之旅。对月球样本的科研显示，月球上的水以冰的形式存在。月球的内核是固态的铁，温度很高，部分融化。未来月球上可能会有火山喷发。月球的部分地表已被磁化。月球上的坑洞或者熔岩管道可能会为人类提供栖居场所。对月球的探索仍未停止，这个星球是人类通往宇宙的大门。

以“阿波罗登月计划”为蓝本，讲述了具有划时代意义的宇宙远征第一步：月球探索旅程。本片基于NASA提供的珍贵数据，结合来自ESA专家的专业知识，以精细的3D建模完美复现了登月计划的丰富细节。值得一提的是，登月后的场景是由阿波罗17号任务发回的真实图片构建而成。所有观者都能 通过本片亲历这一宏伟的人类探索历程，完成对于宇宙的无限遥想。 　　在旅行者1号的镜头里，身处太阳系的地球也只是一块暗淡蓝斑，更不用说在海海无垠的茫茫宇宙。对于人类起源的追问、世界形成的探索永远驱使着时代潮头的精英们不断探寻。 　　Legendary Footprints - A breathtaking journey into space following in the tracks of the Apollo missions, from the rocket launch up to their return on earth. "1 st Step" is at once both a VR documentary and a fairy tale, telling the magical story of a dream come true: the Apollo missions. Experience the elevator ride as you rise up alongside the steaming rocket and then, have a look inside the cramped capsule of the command module. See the missions, from their impressive launch all the way through to their return, from a new perspective. After landing on the moon, viewers find themselves gazing at lunar panoramas - thoroughly re-created from archive photos of the former Apollo 17 mission. The astronauts, dressed in suits true to the originals, were shot in front of green screens in stereo 3D. A captivating film with photorealistic settings of exceptional richness of detail, reconstructed in 3D on basis of original NASA data and with expert advice of ESA.

《卡尔·萨根的宇宙》的更新重制版。

《卡尔·萨根的宇宙》的更新重制版。

未来的2163年。人类的40名成员驾驶超光速宇宙飞船飞出太阳系，他们的目的地是阿尔法星人马座。在那里找寻是否有和人类一样的生命存在。完成任务后，将经过15年的飞行返回地球。 但是旅程中却碰到了意想不到的情况…… 　　《Ikarie XB 1》拍摄于1963年。当时库布里克没有拍出《2001：太空漫游》，人类还没有登上月球。富有想象力的东欧电影人就对宇宙中是否存在除人类以外的生命的问题作出了大胆假想，并在实践中寻找了。本片是捷克斯洛伐克的第一部科幻电影，影片改编自波兰著名的科幻作家 斯坦尼斯拉夫·莱姆的小说《麦哲伦星云》（“Magellan Cloud” ）。
