MOVIE: HUBBLE 3D

Ever wished you could launch yourself into deep space? See planets and supernovas far, far away? Witness the birth of a galaxy? Well, IMAX has answered your prayers, minus the astro-physics degree. All you need to do is strap on your 3D glasses and settle in for the ride of a lifetime. Hubble 3D, the latest IMAX offering, takes you on a journey to save the Hubble telescope for the last time, featuring footage taken by the astronauts crewing the mission. While I would have liked to see some more of the incredible images Hubble is capturing, and less of the repair work of the astronauts, Hubble 3D remains a mind-blowing vision of our galactic neighbourhood and beyond. The footage spans from earth, to the milky way, our next nearest galaxy Andromeda, and the huge planetary metropolis the Virgo Cluster, in which some of the most astounding images of the film, that of the so-called star nurseries, where you can see the birth of stars, planets, and whole galaxies whizzing past you in spectacular 3D.
