The IMAX "Cosmic Voyage" film was made as a public service with sponsorship by the Smithsonian Air and Space museum. On DVD, borrowed from my local public library, it plays at just over 30 minutes with Morgan Freeman supplying a pleasing narrative. As one would expect from an IMAX film, the image quality is superb and the Dolby 5.1 sound track is very well done. Simulated cosmic explosions shake your walls! That is, if you have a good powered subwoofer in your system. The film takes a very useful approach to examining the size of the universe, from tiny sub-atomic particles to the vastness of the whole universe. (Fortunately, when God created the Universe he had dispatched a few angels with video cameras at different vantage points so we get to see actual footage from several billion years ago.) The film starts in Venice, where the discovery of the telescope originated, and uses a one-meter hoop as a reference point, then gradually goes larger by powers of 10, e.g. 10 meters, 100, 1000, etc until we can see the whole universe. Then it takes the opposite journey, going smaller by powers of 10 until be see inside sub-atomic particles. The story is well-woven with beautiful effects created especially for this film. It is entertaining and educational at the same time. All of "oldsters" can enjoy it for the scientific history we are already familiar with, and all the "youngsters" can enjoy it for the educational supplement it provides. Overall a masterful film. Any numerical "rating" of "Cosmic Voyage" is meaningless. If one is looking for a superb film about our universe and modern theories of its formation, this one is hard to beat. Kudos to IMAX and to the Air and Space Museum. 肉眼只能看见穹苍一角。凝视夜空,但见繁星点点,偶尔一颗流星划破夜空,但你可曾看见恒星死亡前的最后爆发?瞪视双手,你或会看见点点尘垢,但你又可曾看见组成皮肤的原子在颤动?因为眼不能见,我们只能纵驰想像,去探索这个深邃广阔的宇宙。 本片获第六十九届奥斯卡金像奖最佳纪录短片提名.
关于人的渺小,《庄子•则阳》中有这样一个小故事:“有国于蜗之左角者,曰触氏,有国于蜗之右角者,曰蛮氏,时相与争地而战,伏尸数万,逐北,旬有五日而后反。”庄子用蜗角上两个国家的争斗,来讽谏齐魏间一触即发的战争。因为天地四方无有穷尽,因而齐魏两国之争也如触蛮一样无谓。 此典出自2300年前,庄子的思想和洞见实在超前。难怪每读庄子,其飘逸超然的自然观和人生观总能引起我的强烈共鸣。 然而庄子俯仰天地之间,毕竟无法像今人一样确知:天实无穷,地实微小。如果曾经存在过的人类的那些智慧之脑能够知道:地球如此微不足道,太阳终将毁灭,宇宙浩瀚而虚渺,他们会做出怎样的思考? 先贤也好,圣哲也罢,难免其识见的局限。因而我更关注真实宇宙观诞生后,人类之脑的思考成果。爱因斯坦即其中之一。 爱因斯坦说:幸福来自于有目标的生活,而不是来自他人或物质。(If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal. Not to people or things.) 爱因斯坦当然明白一切终必成空。但他给出的答案却是虚无的反面。 我们每个人,尽管渺小,但生命本身就是奇迹。在酷热或冰冷的宇宙中,地球本身就是天堂。 尽情生活吧!按自己的愿望和目标! 不知道是谁说的,一个民族如果没有一群仰望星空的人,这个民族是没有前途的。温家宝总理有一首诗,《仰望星空》,引而共赏: 我仰望星空,它是那样寥廓而深邃;那无穷的真理,让我苦苦地求索、追随/ 我仰望星空,它是那样庄严而圣洁;那凛然的正义,让我充满热爱、感到敬畏/ 我仰望星空,它是那样自由而宁静;那博大的胸怀,让我的心灵栖息、依偎/ 我仰望星空,它是那样壮丽而光辉;那永恒的炽热,让我心中燃起希望的烈焰、响起春雷。
效果OK 节奏慢
在宇宙面前,一切都是尘埃!
牛逼。。发指。。须买蓝光收藏
人类一思考,上帝就发笑。带着无限想象去看这部片子吧。那是一种思考到极致的无奈而感受到的人类的渺小。
太美了!
太基础了
绚烂夺目。后半部内容组织欠佳,宇宙起源的问题还是没讲清楚,尤其时间之旅与空间之旅的相互关系问题。
竟然妄想征服自然,愚蠢的人类!2015.5.8成都
你显卡不行 这么卡
我是等不到星际旅行的那一天了 - -
就看到最后整个人都莫名恐惧起来!我要回地球阿!!!牛!我们连尘埃都不如阿!!!
一场90分钟的宇宙视觉盛宴。整整90分钟都深陷在宇宙带予我的震惊之中。宇宙,你是多么的让人迷恋。当你站立在宇宙中,你会选择往哪里去?
这玩意儿就得用投影机看
想看看全宇宙 然后死在今天
宇宙之神奇,之美妙非语言所能表达。
我们就从地球出发,然后越走越远...在所有的星系的凶险外貌下,感受家园的美好。3d的画面已经做到能令人相信自己是在太空旅行了,遗憾的是当视野伸及无穷远处后,虚无感也在想象的空间中无穷无尽地袭来。
相当震撼!
看完这片,什么功名利禄,什么勾心斗角,什么物竞天择全都不重要了。因为,神马都是浮云了,
宇宙这个概念已经远远超出了我的理解范围 - -
无限渺小,微不足道,就当我们从未存在过吧。9.2
