Product Description
In May 2009, the crew of the Space Shuttle Atlantis launched a mission to make vital repairs and upgrades to the Hubble Space Telescope, the world's first space-based optical telescope. An IMAXÒ camera captured stunning footage of the five intricate spacewalks required, as well as close-up images of the effort to grasp the orbiting telescope with the shuttle's mechanical arm at 17,000 MPH - and an unexpected problem that could sabotage the entire mission. Hubble combines this breathtaking material with images taken during the 20 years it has been our window into space. Through advanced computer visualization, Hubble's detailed data becomes a series of scientifically realistic flights that unfold on screen like a guided tour of the universe, through time and space.

I purchased the Hubble IMAX 3D Blue Ray with great expectations but was quite disappointed. Not worth the money. Although the documetary is informative, it is rather boring. Sure, there are some impressive shots but the 3D effects do not add much. For a documentary of only about 40 min length, it is certainly overpriced (I paid $39.99 + shipping). My recommendation: DO NOT BUY. Consider buying a 2D version if you can find it for $15 or less.Hubble IMAX 3D [Blu-ray]

This documentary was okay but don't know why people seem to be so excited (NOTHING BIG). As you start getting interested it ends (only 40min long). A few shots in 3d were good but most of viewing the sky was animation. I enjoy watching other documentaries in 2d more than I did this one. I would say go for it if you wanna be disappointed...

Although I don't mind the stories on the task of fixing the scope, I was disappointed as not much view of the space as hyped.

Entertaining education, the best kind
This DVD would be worth the price in 2D but 3D enhances it immeasurably, as 3D invariably does, in my opinion. Read more

Hubble 3D Blue-ray
The Hubble 3D blue-ray is quite amazing. Since it is also filmed in IMAX the effects are great. I would recommend this DVD.
