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.
