I bought this DVD because ever since the mid 80's when Challenger's flights began to take the spotlight, I realized that Columbia was something special. I wanted to add this to my Columbia library.
This DVD is very well done, with lots of great footage. It brought me back to the days when the general public still got excited about space shuttle launches.
The only thing I was disappointed about was the lack of unique footage. Many of the scenes were ones I've seen over and over ... Read More

Concur with most of the other reviewers. If you look at this as an IMAX movie you'll be disappointed. The visual spectacle is nothing here you can't see better in later IMAX (or even non-IMAX) documentaries about the Shuttle. They tried to get around this by putting multiple inset boxes on the big screen, which doesn't work well on the small screen.
Instead you have to look at this as an historical artefact -- a look at the time when the Shuttle system was new and full of promise, ... Read More

I first saw this one on the big screen in Huntsville when I was attending Space Camp as a camper (maybe Edward was one of my camp instructors) and it left a pretty lasting impression on me.

The story it tells ... Read More

"Hail Columbia!" is a 36-minute IMAX documentary program, narrated by actor James Whitmore, which chronicles the maiden launch (and landing) of America's reusable "Space Transportation System" (aka: the Space Shuttle).
Video on this DVD is Full-Frame (1.33:1); with Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound audio provided.
I would have enjoyed a little more close-up footage of the Columbia orbiter during this IMAX program; and a few additional images of Earth as seen from Columbia would ... Read More

Just bought this for my kids and was very disappointed. The video and audio quality overall is poor. Very little footage of the the shuttle itself. During the launch a lot of camera shots of spectators watching the shuttle but not of the shuttle itself. Also very annoying much of the movie is shown in a small box which covers about 1/4 of the your tv screen. very little narration or information on what is going on. There has to be better.....
