From an IMAX release: IMAX Corporation announced that several titles from its celebrated catalog of critically acclaimed, eye-opening documentary films will be available to stream exclusively on Hulu in the U.S. beginning this summer, kicking off with "A Beautiful Planet," "Pandas," and more. In total, at least 16 IMAX documentaries will roll out on Hulu over the next several weeks and months, with over four decades of the most powerful and daring explorations humankind has ever embarked upon becoming available for subscribers and their families."With people at home there is an immense and growing desire for discovery, particularly for students, families and children. For years IMAX has helped share the power of the natural world and the potential of human existence, and now, together with Hulu, we can bring those incredible, enlightening experiences to millions more," said Megan Colligan, President of IMAX Entertainment. Of the films now streaming or coming soon to Hulu, five are space documentaries: - A Beautiful Planet (2016)
"A Beautiful Planet" is a breathtaking portrait of Earth from space. Made in cooperation with NASA, the film features stunning footage of our magnificent blue planet — and the effects humanity has had on it over time — captured by the astronauts aboard the International Space Station. Narrated by Jennifer Lawrence and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Toni Myers, "A Beautiful Planet" presents an awe-inspiring glimpse of Earth and a hopeful look into the future of humanity. - Destiny in Space (1994)
"Destiny in Space" offers an exciting glimpse into the future of space exploration. Featuring images of the space shuttle in orbit around the Earth and thrilling flyovers of Mars and Venus, the film focuses on the dramatic partnership of humans and robots working in space. Witness rare views of the shuttle, in its entirety, orbiting 200 miles above Earth. Join the astronauts as they maintain the Spacelab and work outside the shuttle in the hazardous vacuum of space, performing a spectacularly successful servicing mission of the Hubble Space Telescope. - "Hail Columbia!" (1982)
Experience one of humankind's crowning achievements — the inaugural voyage of the world's first space shuttle. Hail Columbia! goes behind the scenes with astronauts John Young and Robert Crippen as they prepare for their historic launch of the shuttle Columbia. Witness the thunderous liftoff, the breathtaking flight itself and the dramatic re-entry and landing. - Space Station (2002)
Travel 220 miles above Earth at 17,500 mph to experience the greatest engineering feat since landing a man on the Moon. "Space Station" is the story of a unique partnership of 16 nations building a laboratory in outer space — a permanent facility for the study of the effects of long-duration exposure to zero gravity and the necessary first step towards the global co-operative effort needed if man is to someday set foot on Mars. Narrated by Tom Cruise. - The Dream is Alive (1985)
You're invited to a window seat on board the space shuttle and an inside look at the astronauts living in space. Shot by 14 NASA astronauts on three shuttle missions, "The Dream Is Alive" includes footage of launches and landings, satellite capture and repairs and space walks. Experience the sensation of weightlessness and the splendor of Earth from 250 miles up.
