<\/a>The timing for new (or remastered) IMAX space docs on home video is ideal, and the first wave actually began last fall, although Hubble 3D<\/a><\/strong> [M<\/a>] (Warner Home Video) is perhaps more timely, since it documents what may be the telescope’s last servicing.<\/p>\n.<\/span><\/p>\n .<\/span><\/p>\n .<\/span><\/p>\n .<\/span><\/p>\n Hubble 3D<\/strong> is also the latest IMAX space film by Toni Myers (whose been involved with Big Space films as an editor, writer, producer, and director), and marks another collaboration between Myers and composers Micky Erbe and Maribeth Solomon, who’ve been scoring IMAX films since North of Superior<\/strong> (1971), as well as most of the space docs.<\/p>\n .<\/span><\/p>\n .<\/span><\/p>\n .<\/span><\/p>\n .<\/span><\/p>\n .<\/span><\/p>\n .<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a>The massive device that’s enabled us to see far beyond our realm was first given a salute in the 2005 doc Hubble: 15 Years of Discovery<\/a><\/strong> [M<\/a>] (SPV), which combined facts with images from Hubble, and striking animated montages of forming galaxies and stars created by John Dubinski.<\/p>\n<\/a>Dubinski’s\u00a0amazingly hypnotic work showcased in the DVD Gravitas: Portraits of a Universe in Motion<\/a><\/strong> [M<\/a>] (2006).<\/p>\n<\/a>Their prior space film was Space Station 3D<\/a><\/strong> [M<\/a>] (2002). and like Hubble 3D<\/strong>, both have been released on Blu-ray by WHV in flat and 3D versions.<\/p>\n<\/a>To compliment the former, I’ve also uploaded\u00a0 a review of Inside the Space Station<\/a><\/strong> [M<\/a>] (2000), a Discovery Channel doc that’s heavier on facts than grandiose visuals.<\/p>\n<\/a>Each of the IMAX reviews have links to related\u00a0films & interviews –\u00a0including director Toni Myers<\/a> [M<\/a>] and composer Maribeth Solomon<\/a> [M<\/a>]\u00a0– and because this series begins with things telescopy, I’ve added a review of\u00a0Solarmax<\/a> <\/strong>[M<\/a>], (Sling Shot Entertainment), another doc from 2000 that’s also available on Blu-ray via Warner Music.<\/p>\n
