A visually stunning hour long documentary providing a real window into the life of astronauts shot by astronauts. It is aimed at elementary and secondary school children but there are a few delights for adults thats if you can shut out the clumpy narration even if the narrator is the Oscar winning actress, Jennifer Lawrence.

This film is best viewed in IMAX. Before the screening, the director, Toni Myers, told us that the astronauts were taught how to film so they could capture everyday life on the space station. None of the images are enhanced and shows everyday life at the International Space Station – how they eat, the difficulties of drinking out of a cup in zero gravity etc. This is the 7th film in Space the first in 1985. The scene showing thunder storm and lightning truly leaves you in awe of our majestic planet earth. Most of the narration is for the benefit of children and watching it in IMAX does make it feel even more accessible.

The European Premiere of A Beautiful Planet was held on Monday 23 May at the Science Museum.

It was released on 27 May 2016 in IMAX and 3D in cinemas across the UK.
