4/10
The star is not the movie here

Warning: Spoilers
This is a 44-minute documentary from five years ago on how the Hubble telescope was fixed. It's directed by Toni Myers, a man who has been working on scientific documentaries for several decades now. He also came up with the script with two other writers, three people maybe a bit much for under an hour. Also I was not too fond of the narration. The contents are sometimes way over the top and unnecessarily dramatic. The main reason why this documentary is maybe the most famous IMAX movie is because of who narrates it: Leonardo Di Caprio. However, I don't really think he is as good as narrator as an actor, even if he really gives his best. I did not really appreciate this documentary, maybe because I am off the opinion that we should first explore our own planet before digging deep into space. This way we could also avoid the unnecessary loss of lives like with the Columbia disaster, which is also referenced in here once. All in all, I have no real interest to watch these 44 minutes again and I don't really take away anything from it other than knowing that Israel Kamakawiwo'ole was a wonderful artist and his song "Over the Rainbow" is a masterpiece. Still, that is not enough, Not recommended.
