In this documentary, astronauts from the Kennedy Space Center complete intensive training, say goodbye to their loved ones, launch and meet cosmonauts from the Baikonur Cosmodrome 220 miles above the Earth, where they work to complete the International Space Station, a permanent laboratory designed to study the long-term effects of human exposure to zero gravity. The team struggles with procedures as dangerous as they are delicate, all while orbiting Earth at a speed of 17,000 miles per hour.

Chicago Tribune At its best, Space Station captures the point of view of the space travelers, conveying a sense of awesome mystery and unlimited possibility. Rated: 3/4 Jul 20, 2002 Full Review John Monaghan Detroit Free Press A disappointment for a movie that should have been the ultimate IMAX trip. Rated: 2/4 May 10, 2002 Full Review Liam Lacey Globe and Mail As a simulation though, Space Station 3-D definitely takes you to a different place. Rated: 3/4 Apr 26, 2002 Full Review Jack Garner Rochester Democrat and Chronicle Visually breathtaking. Rated: 8/10 Apr 15, 2005 Full Review Matt Brunson Creative Loafing It's nice to know there's actually somewhere on this earth -- OK, above this earth -- where America is cooperating with other countries rather than p***ing them off. Rated: 3/4 Nov 4, 2003 Full Review Lawrence Toppman Charlotte Observer A sense of peace pervades every element of this movie, from astronauts' chats to the gentle floating shots of the station.
