IMAX: Hubble 3D (Blu-ray 3D + Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy Combo Pack) [Blu-ray 3D]

Questo documentario, non ha niente a che spartire con Gravity, se non la location, per fortuna! È un documentario, non una storiella.

In 40 minuti, non molti effettivamente, spiega la storia dell'Hubble e segue l'ultima missione effettuata per riparare e sostituire alcuni pezzi di questo telescopio spaziale; dalla preparazione degli astronauti, al lancio, alla missione vera e propria, mostrandoci anche spezzoni di vita all'interno dell'Atlantis.

La storia di per se, anche se breve, è bella e coinvolgente (specie se in lingua originale, narrata da Leonardo Di Caprio), ma quello che colpisce è la qualità delle immagini: sbalorditiva! Imax non si smentisce mai, la qualità è veramente eccezionale, praticamente inarrivabile per qualunque film.

Da vedere assolutamente con una tv di almeno buona qualità, al buio.

Preso per provare lettore bluray 3d e tv 3d. Sono rimasto soddisfatto dell'acquisto. Premesso che non me ne intendo e l'unica nota negativa, che ho trovato anche in molti altri dvd, l'audio non era equilibrato bene. Mi spiego: la musica di sottofondo è alta ed il parlato invece basso. Bisogna continuamente avere il telecomando in mano per ascoltare il parlato e poi abbassare quando ri-inizia la musica.

Emozionante

Recensito in Italia il 11 marzo 2014

Il documentario in se è interessante ed emozionante, la narrazione accattivante, le riprese in 3D di qualità elevata per circa 45 minuti di film coinvolgente per tutti. Il contenuto extra mostra, sottotitolato, un po' la storia di tutte le ripese in imax con le interviste ai personaggi e agli astronauti. Bello, lo consiglio anche se personalmente avrei gradito qualche extra in più sugli aspetti tecnici dell'Hubble e sulle splendide immagini che ci ha regalato.

Documentario molto bello e di qualità. Unica pecca: un po breve..del resto pare che l'equipaggio avesse una camera Imax con pochi minuti di pellicola a disposizione. Ma il risultato finale è comunque di pregevole qualità per gli appassionati. Il 3D, anche delle animazioni grafiche è molto buono.

Ottimo documentario il 3D un po' meno

Il documentario è senza dubbio molto interessante. L'unico neo è che il 3D non è di quelli sbalorditivi.

Lascio un commento. Immagini e i commenti, toccano il cuore e fanno pensare a questa nostra vita. Meraviglioso cosa l'uomo sa fare quando vuole, l'infinito con questo film è spiegato benissimo grazie ad Hubble. Il film fa capire come sia difficile realizzare queste cose e ancora non credo ai miei occhi come si possano realizzare, ma basta osservare il video poi con l'effetto 3d è tutto STUPEFACENTE

Le immagini in 3D sono impressionanti, Bisogna assolutamente vederle a 1 metro di distanza su un TV almeno da 65" come ho fatto io. C'ero anch'io con gli astronauti a riparare il telescopio!!
Non mi sono piaciute invece le scene ricreate con grafica computerizzata nelle quali si vedono le stelle venire incontro in 3D.
E' chiaramente un effetto "di effetto" ma assolutamente irreale e niente affatto scientifico.
Comunque si viene coinvolti, e si percepisce l'infinito dell'universo, e la incredibile nostra infinita piccolezza.

Bel blu ray 3D preso per testare il nuovo lettore. Filmato di durata breve (meno di un'ora) con belle immagini tanto per abituare l'occhio a questa novità e poi sono sempre stato attratto dalle immagini dallo spazio. Solo per appassionati del genere.

Hooray for IMAX! This is one 3D title you must own!

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 18 gennaio 2016

I think I have been a little unfair towards the collection of IMAX 3D Blu-ray
releases that have been available for the past few years, giving more
preference to movie releases when compiling my list of top 3D titles. After
all, I am guessing most consumers who are gauging 3D Blu-ray purchases
are looking for the most bang for the buck and tend to pick movies over
documentaries. After all, these IMAX Blu-rays are very expensive when
considering they only have a running time of 45 minutes. That's a huge
deterrent for anyone looking to keep their entertainment purchases within
budget.

The good news is, if you wait long enough, the price of these IMAX titles
usually always hit the $20 mark, which I think is the perfect price point for
most individuals, including myself. You see, I never received an advanced
screener of Imax Hubble 3D, so I took my time and waited for the eventual
price drop. For those of you reading this review, I am about to persuade you
to open your wallets and make a very wise $20 investment that will harness
the full power of your 3D display.

With the space shuttle program winding down in May of 2009, Imax Hubble 3D
archives the mission of 7 astronauts and their last chance to save the ailing
Hubble Telescope's warped mirror. With state-of-the-art instruments on board,
their mission is to improve the telescope's discovery capability.

The best word to describe the experience of watching this mission unfold is
"stunning." Donning 3D eyewear, I was simply amazed at how my display was
turned into a perfect picture-window where I felt instantly connected to the events
on screen. The IMAX footage itself is incredibly awe-inspiring -- so crisp and
ultra-detailed -- that I felt as if I could reach out and touch the telescope laying
before me. An astounding level of depth -- almost limitless -- creates an immersive
environment like no other.

Some of the best moments to savor....

* There's an amazing shot of the pool in which the astronauts use for weightless
training. We are actually introduced to it at water level, just before going under.
The perspective of depth within the room combined with the gorgeous blue color
of the water at eye-level is breathtaking to see.

* Approximately 19 minutes into the documentary there is a shot from, I believe,
the Space Shuttle Endeavor. A long rescue arm extends downwards, with the
Earth hovering just beneath. On a large screen, it is perhaps the most incredible
sight you will ever witness on your display. Just sit back and savor the reach.

* At Approximately 27 minutes, there are more stunning shots of the Hubble
telescope floating above earth, but with the addition of a very thin tether that
places itself most prominently forward in view, creating an additional layered
obstacle that only furthers the 3D enhancement.

I mentioned limitless depth earlier in the review, and it plays the most essential
part of this 3D experience. You really get a sense of the vastness of space,
watching our earth and the man-made creations above it, floating in what can be
best described as black nothingness. If you want to test the level of black your
display can produce, this is the perfect demo disc. I am very fortunate to have a
plasma that was able to produce the inkiest levels of black. When you see that type
of blackness surrounding the Earth, it's...well...something you really need to see for
yourself.

While watching some of this awesome footage, you begin to take notice of items
that pop themselves forward. Look at how the open panel doors of the Hubble
telescope extend themselves outward. Various tools that the astronauts use for
repair also protrude forward. This isn't an overly gimmicky presentation -- and
it need not be as the visuals from space are inspiring enough to watch on their own.

Some may complain that a lot of spectacular 3D footage is bogged down by the
personal moments spent with the astronauts aboard the space shuttle. Personally,
I found these moments rather cool to watch. Some may also object to the amount
of computer-generated 2D static images taken from the Hubble telescope that were
converted to 3D by pulling apart stars and nebulas, giving them more texture and
a feeling of space as it really is. Personally, I really enjoyed these re-imagined images.
All I can say is be patient. As we near the end of this documentary, we find ourselves
peering into the edge of the observable universe, looking at images 10 billion light
years away. I have never dropped acid in my life, but as the camera pulls back on a
multitude of star fields, I can just imagine what the drug-induced experience must
have been like.

The audible experience of Imax Hubble 3D is just as immersive as the video. The
soothing narration by Leonardo Dicaprio is delegated to the center channel. The fronts
and rears provide an enveloping array of effect sounds. I love the way that the voices
of the astronauts and mission controllers were placed squarely into the rears. This
provides a constant level of vocal cross-direction. Do yourself a favor and turn up
your receiver/amps during the launch of the Space Shuttle Atlantis. It will be quite
an amazing experience to watch and feel, thanks to the strong rumble of the LFE channel.

Imax Hubble 3D arrives as a single Blu-ray disc with both 3D and 2D feature
presentation. It may have originally come with an outer cardboard sleeve -- I am
not certain -- but with the discounted price it comes in a standard case. There is a
really great added feature that takes viewers behind-the-scenes of filming this
Imax documentary. There is also a Hubble Mission Logs Webisode Gallery included.

What more can I say to persuade you to drop $20 on the best IMAX feature I have
had the pleasure of reviewing thus far?

If you have been spending all your money buying and watching 3D feature films, I
urge you to give these IMAX documentaries your highest consideration -- particularly
this one. They really unleash the full potential of your 3D display. These are the the
moments that you just sit back in your chair, gasp in admiration, while continually
uttering the word, "WOW!"

Best Seen in 3D

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 18 gennaio 2023

This IMAX documentary about the last (but perhaps not final) Hubble repair mission and is one that should be seen in 3D. There is some great footage of the repair mission itself, plus some excellent computer animation that plays well in 3D. There are some very good computer animated 3D sequences; one - a deep dive into the heart of the Orion Nebula - would not play quite as well in 2D 4K.
IMAX: Hubble 3D is not just eye candy, however. The narration (by Leonardo Dicaprio) is well written and attempts to expand the perception of the viewer - extrapolating cosmic distance scales and how that translates into the age of the light. The photons, crossing many light years - require decades, centuries, even millennia to reach the optics of the telescope. It's all kind of mind blowing, when you consider the notion that the most distant objects are appearing to astronomers as they were when those photons left these galaxies 12-13 billion years in the past (basically ancient light, far beyond the age of our own sun/solar system, etc.).
It's a very good IMAX documentary that plays better in 3D (if you still have a TV that can play 3D blu rays, anyway). Until there are more modern 4k TV sets that support 3D, this is as good as it gets (though the release of Avatar: The Way of Water might precipitate a bit more interest in new 4K 3D TVs).

A reference disk for 3-D and seat shaking LFE

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 8 febbraio 2020

Having watched IMAX: Hubble 3D again last night, I am more convinced than ever that it is one of the best, if not the best, reference disks for the format. Right from the opening IMAX countdown, the viewer is treated to a steady stream of crystal clear 'in your face' pop outs, extra dimensionality, and layering unlike most other 3-D Blu-ray. Whether it's the disintegration of credit text into droplets blown towards the viewer, a cable extending from a Shuttle to the telescope hovering on the screen, bubbles from a diver ready to tickle your nose, or the staggering images peering into clouds of super hot gas serving as a planetary nursery deep in the cosmos, this documentary always leaves my first time viewers speechless. All of this ignores the incredible LFE embedded into the DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track. If you don't have a subwoofer (I recommend getting two . . . big ones), this film should give you a reason to start saving up your chin yen for this reason alone. The thundering LFE sounds during the shuttle launches are something everyone needs to experience at least once in their lives. If IMAX: Hubble 3D doesn't cause your guests to rethink how they watch movies and reconsider their lackadaisical attitude towards 3-D, then odds are your friends are actually undead.

Eye Popping

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 29 aprile 2012

This was something that I missed seeing in the IMAX London Cinema so when I found it on 3D Bluray I couldn't wait to get it.
It arrived 11 days after ordering ( USA seller) in 100% perfect condition.
I made a coffee put some biscuits on a plate and inserted " Hubble 3D" into my new player.
I watched in awe as the crew is the Space Shuttle suited up, rode to the launch pad and then took off
The roar of the rockets made my floor vibrate and then ..... I was floating in zero G next to the Astronauts whilst they worked in the most dangerous environment possible.
I saw the intricate movements needed to carry out tasks in space and had a tour of the Universe courtesy of the Hubble Space Telescope ........" EYE POPPING"!!!!!
The next 45 minutes "flew" by and then I was back on Terra Firma once more.
When I had finished watching it again I realised that I had not had a drop of coffee nor eaten any biscuits !!

The picture quality is superb, no ghosting or interference . The sound is fantastic and real.
Put the two together and you have a once in a lifetime thrill to enjoy over and over again.

Highly recommend this as a " must have" for anyone with a 3d TV as a treat to be shown to family ,freinds, and visitors.
Well worth the £26 I spent.
If you see it for sale grab it as this is in short supply and probably not around to buy new for much longer.
Well done Amazon for sourcing this for us.

Amazing

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 10 febbraio 2014

This is an amazing 3D video. Got my new Viera 3D TV and this was the first movie I HAD to have. I had seen it in iMax and loved it. It's better at home where you can talk and be comfortable.

With home 3D active shutter glasses, it's more "alive" then iMax which uses passive 3D glasses, which are cheaper. My 65" Panasonic Viera TV is huge and this fills it with incredible motion and beautiful scenes. The space repairs are amazing, and 3D does these astronaut heroes justice as they provide repairs that allow us to see outer space as never before. The Hubble is a scientific wonder, and has provided oodles of information for astronomers. Now you can see the heroes work to keep it doing its job.

FYI: THe Hubble was made with a mirror that was misshapen, and didn't work as planned (D'oh!!). The first repair literally applied a contact lens to correct the refractive error. The second repair was to replace dying parts, which is the main focus of this video.

I've watched it three times because it's not the STORY that matters here; it's the space images, which never get old. Our blue orb never looked this good.

Enjoy, and pass the popcorn please.
