http://www.space-tourists-film.com/en/home.php This has been listed on Netflix for a while but remains unavailable. I'd heard a few things about it but I was a bit reluctant to give my credit card number to any of the European vendors. A few months ago I saw an ebay listing at the same price from an American importer... so I could use PayPal. It is only available in PAL/Region2 so most likely your US/Japanese dvd player wont play it. But an up to date computer drive and operating system should have no trouble (Win7 Media Player allows you to switch your default region for a certain number of plays before it "locks you in" but by just using VLC you can avoid that - and VLC seems to play everything smoother anyway so I just use VLC as my default now). Why exactly does the Science Channel run Firefly when they know that there are top-notch documentaries like this out there? I think Greg Klerkx would have an idea ;-) If you thought Orphans of Apollo was interesting, this will rock you. Big time. Yes, it is fully in English but there is also merit in running it in it's original form of using ALL languages native to the speakers and have the subtitles help you out on the ones you don't speak - I think that adds to the emotions. In my experience, you can't judge this by the trailer. It shows things that the teases don't prepare you for. You may not like some of it, until you sit back and think about it as a whole. Worth every penny. |
