The IMAX "Cosmic Voyage" film was made as a public service with sponsorship by the Smithsonian Air and Space museum. On DVD, borrowed from my local public library, it plays at just over 30 minutes with Morgan Freeman supplying a pleasing narrative. As one would expect from an IMAX film, the image quality is superb and the Dolby 5.1 sound track is very well done. Simulated cosmic explosions shake your walls! That is, if you have a good powered subwoofer in your system.
The film takes a very useful approach to examining the size of the universe, from tiny sub-atomic particles to the vastness of the whole universe. (Fortunately, when God created the Universe he had dispatched a few angels with video cameras at different vantage points so we get to see actual footage from several billion years ago.) The film starts in Venice, where the discovery of the telescope originated, and uses a one-meter hoop as a reference point, then gradually goes larger by powers of 10, e.g. 10 meters, 100, 1000, etc until we can see the whole universe. Then it takes the opposite journey, going smaller by powers of 10 until be see inside sub-atomic particles.
The story is well-woven with beautiful effects created especially for this film. It is entertaining and educational at the same time. All of "oldsters" can enjoy it for the scientific history we are already familiar with, and all the "youngsters" can enjoy it for the educational supplement it provides. Overall a masterful film.
Any numerical "rating" of "Cosmic Voyage" is meaningless. If one is looking for a superb film about our universe and modern theories of its formation, this one is hard to beat. Kudos to IMAX and to the Air and Space Museum.
肉眼只能看见穹苍一角。凝视夜空,但见繁星点点,偶尔一颗流星划破夜空,但你可曾看见恒星死亡前的最后爆发?瞪视双手,你或会看见点点尘垢,但你又可曾看见组成皮肤的原子在颤动?因为眼不能见,我们只能纵驰想像,去探索这个深邃广阔的宇宙。
本片获第六十九届奥斯卡金像奖最佳纪录短片提名.
许久不曾有的胃疼多少削弱了投入,从地球出发,一点点走向宇宙深处、时间尽头,我们的生命真是神奇,也多多少少能理解一点为什么有宗教,上帝,未知总是令人不安,超出人的理解力的,归诸于神,其实是纳入人的理解范围。 木心的话:
生活是什么?生活是死前的一段过程。凭这个,凭这样一念,就产生了宗教、哲学、文化、艺术。可是宗教、哲学、文化、艺术,又是要死的——太阳,将会冷却,地球在太阳系毁灭之前,就要出现冰河期,人类无法生存。可是末日看来还远,教堂、博物馆、美术馆、图书馆,煞有介事,庄严肃穆,昔在今在永在的样子——其实都是毁灭前的景观。 我是怀着悲伤的眼光,看着不知悲伤的事物。连情感,爱,也不在乎了。唯有这样,才能快乐起来,把世界当一个球,可以玩。 奉劝诸位:除了灾难、病痛,时时刻刻要快乐。尤其是眼睛的快乐。要看到一切快乐的事物。耳朵是听不到快乐的,眼睛可以。你到乡村,风在吹,水在流,那是快乐。
就看到最后整个人都莫名恐惧起来!我要回地球阿!!!牛!我们连尘埃都不如阿!!!
在宇宙面前,一切都是尘埃!
效果OK 节奏慢
我们就从地球出发,然后越走越远...在所有的星系的凶险外貌下,感受家园的美好。3d的画面已经做到能令人相信自己是在太空旅行了,遗憾的是当视野伸及无穷远处后,虚无感也在想象的空间中无穷无尽地袭来。
绚烂夺目。后半部内容组织欠佳,宇宙起源的问题还是没讲清楚,尤其时间之旅与空间之旅的相互关系问题。
宇宙这个概念已经远远超出了我的理解范围 - -
我是等不到星际旅行的那一天了 - -
竟然妄想征服自然,愚蠢的人类!2015.5.8成都
太基础了
这玩意儿就得用投影机看
看完这片,什么功名利禄,什么勾心斗角,什么物竞天择全都不重要了。因为,神马都是浮云了,
宇宙之神奇,之美妙非语言所能表达。
牛逼。。发指。。须买蓝光收藏
想看看全宇宙 然后死在今天
一场90分钟的宇宙视觉盛宴。整整90分钟都深陷在宇宙带予我的震惊之中。宇宙,你是多么的让人迷恋。当你站立在宇宙中,你会选择往哪里去?
人类一思考,上帝就发笑。带着无限想象去看这部片子吧。那是一种思考到极致的无奈而感受到的人类的渺小。
你显卡不行 这么卡
无限渺小,微不足道,就当我们从未存在过吧。9.2
太美了!
相当震撼!
