Space Explorers

Space Explorers
Type: Stereoscopic 3D Movie
Image Quality: Excellent
Scale: Good
Length: Medium
Cost: $2.99


Felix & Paul are probably the best movie makers in the 3D world. They produce beautiful stereoscopic films that offer a high degree of immersion. Space Explorers might be the best film they have ever made and one of the best available for the Go. It is a 20 minute exploration of NASA training for astronauts featuring a chat about Mars with a real astronaut while riding in a prototype Mars two man rover along with underwater training footage and more.

The image quality is so high and the video so well shot that I got that sense that I was actually at NASA. I was a passenger in a plane briefly and inside the two man rover. There is a lot of talk about VR being like real life and having total immersion, but the truth is for me I very rarely feel that. I've described many experiences as either a really good holograph where the people are made of light or for low resolution experiences like being trapped inside a VHS movie. Not to mention Monoscopic films where I feel like Gulliver in Brobdingnag. So when I find a rare true immersion experience it blows my mind. After this film my mind was blown and I had to take a break from the Go just to recover.

Do note that while two parts are listed there is only one available. Hopefully a second will be forthcoming as I would love to continue this journey.
