IMAX SYNOPSISSCHOOLS FILM SYNOPSIS SPACE STATION 3D
“Very few people can actually say they’ve been in space. But those who have been there - astro- nauts and cosmonauts – have said that IMAX is the next best thing to being there.” -Toni Myers, Producer, SPACE STATION 3D
As astoundingly beautiful as it is technically dazzling, SPACE STATION 3D is the fi rst-ever IMAX 3D space fi lm. Audiences will travel 350km above Earth at 28,000km per hour to experience SPACE STATION 3D—the greatest engineering feat since landing a man on the Moon.
Narrated by Tom Cruise, SPACE STATION 3D is the story of this unique partnership of 16 na- tions building a laboratory in outer space--a permanent facility for the study of the eff ects of long-duration exposure to zero gravity and the necessary fi rst step towards the global co-op- erative eff ort needed if man is to someday set foot on Mars. The new IMAX fi lm documents life aboard humanity’s new home-away-from-home. SPACE STATION 3D chronicles the chal- RRATEDATED G lenges, setbacks and triumphs…and ultimately, the shared international victory of men and women whose dreams exceed the limits of life on this Earth.
