Dale R A documentary film released in IMAX about the twin Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity. The story of the film is about the creation, lauch, landing and a few of the first missions of each rover. The most infectious happiness ever is the happiness in a NASA control room after a successful mission. I could watch that all day. This film was released two years into the mission. The mission controllers did not believe that each rover would still be going at this point so the movie had a feeling of incompleteness to it. Spirit would deactivate in 2010 and Opportunity in 2018, so there is a lot of missing story to this film. I’m a bit of a space geek, so I would have loved to hear more in depth explanations of the launch and creative processes in the creation of the rovers. What is in this film is well done and worth a watch if this is an interesting topic for you.

Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Great documentary about our quest to explore Mars. With this we are not just limited to grainy images of the surface taken by the rover, but with some tastefully used CGI sequences. Firstly of the voyage there, then the landing, followed by the surface itself. Everything you need to know about this project is there, clear for me to see Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Better than Hubble 3D but was expecting more of an ALIEN experience in this movie Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A nice flashback to the previous 2 roving explorers on Mars. Not the greatest "doc" on the subject, probably relying heavily on being originally realsed in IMAX, but it was still interesting enough to hold the kids interests for 40 minutes and inspire them to want to learn more about Mars.
