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.
观看过程,除了感叹人类的渺小连尘埃都不如之外,恐惧和虚无感是不可避免的,很多人说看完的感受是想自杀,我倒是刚好相反,我是更想活了。
我想既然人类在宽阔浩瀚的宇宙面前如此不值一提,人生也并没有所谓终极意义,那么生命它就应该是自由不羁的,没有意义的人生就是最好的人生,死后没有天堂也没有地狱,世间一切的道德、价值观、那些让我们感到「活着真累」的约束都是人为的均没有权威性,它们都不能够成为人的束缚。
这样唯一要做的就是做自己,去体验自己所选择的过程,而这个选择来自「本真」而不是什么「理应当」,有勇气做出「本真」的选择才会有绝对的责任去承担它的后果。
我们不过只是宇宙角落中一颗小小星球上的一群因为一次意外事件诞生的碳基生命,地球比我们想象的更小更脆弱,最终它会被将死的太阳吞噬。
那么,还有什么理由不去活的开心呢。 来都来了。
这玩意儿就得用投影机看
宇宙之神奇,之美妙非语言所能表达。
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。
牛逼。。发指。。须买蓝光收藏
我是等不到星际旅行的那一天了 - -
效果OK 节奏慢
太基础了
想看看全宇宙 然后死在今天
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,
相当震撼!
宇宙这个概念已经远远超出了我的理解范围 - -
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?
在宇宙面前,一切都是尘埃!
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!!!
无限渺小,微不足道,就当我们从未存在过吧。9.2
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。
你显卡不行 这么卡
竟然妄想征服自然,愚蠢的人类!2015.5.8成都
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。
太美了!
