Filmed in IMAX (the giant-screen format) by space shuttle astronauts and backed by Hi-Fi Surround Stereo, The Dream is Alive offers what is perhaps the best video and audio quality to date for a space documentary. Narrated by Walter Cronkite, this you-are-there journey through space has been experienced in the IMAX theaters by over 25 million people since its debut in 1985. Subtitled "A Window Seat on the Space Shuttle," the program lets viewers lift off from Kennedy Space Center and see the sights and sounds of a day in the life of an astronaut, including: eating, drinking, and sleeping in zero-gravity, conducting experiments to develop new kinds of medicine, and an exciting in-space repair of a malfunctioning satellite. Cronkite's magical voice combined with the ethereal visions of outer space truly make for a wondrous viewing experience that--while it may not pack quite the wallop as it does on the giant screen--is sure to be enjoyed by most patrons. Highly recommended. (Available from most distributors.)
