Hubble 3D (2010): The Universe Up There


Hubble 3D is the latest IMAX production and it is basically about the space mission made by space shuttle Atlantis and its seven member crew to repair and modify the telescope. The movie features narration by Leonardo DiCaprio. The movie was directed by Toni Myers and is distributed by Warner Bros Pictures Distribution.
The Hubble telescope is one of the most famous and legendary telescopes ever built, but unluckily as everything else it is susceptible to time. Obviously the telescope is getting old and some elements stop working, so repairs are needed. In 2009, a crew of astronauts on the space shuttle Atlantis was sent to repair the telescope. They IMAX camera on board and filmed the whole mission.
I haven't seen the movie yet, but the author of the review says that the special effects are truly amazing and that DiCaprio made a good job with the narration. The movie seems very promising and I'm encouraged to watch as soon as possible.
