 Major disappointmentJun 23, 2007
By Gary W. Jones
Buyer beware. I expected an hour of HD images from space. Instead, a viewer gets a blast off sequence and a 10-15-minute loop of images from space repeated four times. I also wanted "a view from space"--not long, hand-held shots of the shuttle's empty cargo bay with a shaky moon in the background. Also, there are distracting blobs, spots, and smears on the camera lens and on the viewing portals. The fourth time you watch the Sahara (or whatever desert it is) through what looks a big bug splat on a windshield, one really wishes that the video was a rental instead of a purchase.

 Deceiving movieDec 08, 2006
By Fabian Lucchi
Images and videos are, that's true, breathtaking. High-definition from there is gorgeous but it's not 60 minutes of unseen footage, but only 10 minutes in a loop, sometimes with different color filters, so you're buying 10 minutes of space views, amongst which 3' are the liftoff part. Pictures quality is great (taking in account where and how it has been shot) but it's not worth that price.

Ripoff!!! This is not a good purchase!Apr 17, 2008
By Hermann Pais
This DVD is a ripoff. It only contains 14 minutes of video, which loops over and over again.
Then the soundtracks don't correspond to what's on the cover. They mix a bunch of music played in a classical style and call it Bach.
For less money you can get the Blu-Ray disc Blue Planet - filmed in Imax with much higher resolution, Walter Cronkite narration and over one hour of unrepeated, unlooping high resolution video from space.

 STAR-IFICMar 10, 2007
By R. Frey
"The Blu-Man"
The video imagery is spectacular. The music was not exactly what I was hoping for. I would have preferred a bit more meditation and airy type music options. Hence the 4 instead of 5 stars.
There is one particular sequence that I loved. From space, a slow zoom into a white-capped mountain was fantastic and takes your breath away as they zoom and and zoom out. This is where the Blu-Ray hi-def showed its value.

It's Not One Hour of VideoJun 14, 2009
By H. Snyder
I purchased this video expecting stunning views from space, and I got that. But it was not "one hour" as advertized, rather it was a 3:45 launch sequence followed by 14:53 of original footage from space, followed by three repeats of about 14:30 each from the space view footage. Despite the claim in another user review, this repetition has nothing to do with consecutive orbits, it is merely re-use of the same footage. Even the most casual observer can notice the repetition of such distinctive scenes as a zoom-in on Mt Fuji, or the dumping of the urine holding tank. I would have given this disc a five-star rating if it had the promised hour of original video. As it is, the crystal-clear views from space and the 8 hours of great 5.1 surround music warrant a four-star rating. As a relatively new Amazon customer, I have found by experience that it pays to check out the customer reviews, as they will tell you things the promotional information will not.
