Incredible & heartbreaking

IMAX Hubble 3D is only 45 minutes long, but I'd see it again, and sit through it if were 5 times longer.
.
It made me cry.
.
It was amazing to watch, but it was also incredibly, INCREDIBLY heartbreaking.
.
I was always aware of the vastness of space, but this documentary really made me comprehend it more concretely. All of the galaxies and planets... it was just awesome. The Hubble showed images that were 10 BILLION light years away! Can you imagine??

.
Watching the astronauts prepare for their trip, watching them repair the Hubble-- every step of the way I was engaged and interested.
.
I have told every friend I have to go see it and posted it on Twitter and FB.
.
The space program, to me, is right up there as a priority for tax funding and pursuit. I think the space program is the MOST purely optimistic and hopeful endeavor we have. The possibilities are literally endless.
.
It disgusts me that it's been gutted. That the shuttle program is gone as of next year's last launch. That we're just going to leave Hubble to die.
.
Unless we pay the Russians to go fix it or something... and give them any technology we may have created or discovered.
.
Because of space travel we have things like cordless tools, smoke detectors, scratch resistant glasses, ear thermometers, improved pacemakers, comfy shoe insoles, satellite radio, invisible braces, memory foam pillows, long distance phone calls using satellites, water filters, pens that write upside down, thermal boots, joysticks, CAT scans, shock absorbing helmets, ski boots, fire fighter suits and gear...
.
And so much more.
.
Just imagine all the things we may never know about without NASA funding.
.
Maybe something like this will wake people up. Get the juices of imagination and exploration flowing again.
.
I think this should be required viewing!

What a waste of talent

This movie was incredibly disappointing and NOT worth the entrance price. Should have just gone to see Sherlock Holmes. With so much star power in Nine, I expected to at least be entertained, and instead I was almost put to sleep. The story is boring, the main character, Guido, is a self-indulgent, whiny, selfish, shallow jerk who is entirely unsympathetic. In fact, not a single character in the movie did I end up caring what happened to them. It got to the point where I kept mumbling "please be over, please be over, please be over". Not even worth renting for a dollar at a Red Box. SKIP IT.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

This movie was extremely boring with brief moments of cool graphic violence. I know the people who have been waiting for decades for this to be made will believe it the 2nd coming of Christ, but honestly, this movie was just lame. At LEAST an hour too long. Gratuitous shots of the twin towers in the background trying to be "artsy". The silliest tiger ever created. Dr. Manhattan who has complete apathy towards the human race suddenly has an epiphany of their worth when finding out who Silk Spectre 2's dad is? Huh? There was just so much stupid in this movie that it hurt my head. Fanboys will drool over this flick, but I want my money--and my time--back.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
