Roving Mars (DVD, 2007)

IMAX film about the building, launching, landing, and running of the Mars rovers. It was fun in the theater and still works well on the television screen. The pictures of Mars taken by the rovers are the highlight of the movie; they have a you-are-there feel to them and are vivid. Bonus features include a how-the-movie-was-made video and an old Disney documentary about Mars from the late 1950s. It is fun to meet on a more personal basis some of the people who made the movie, as well as some of the people who worked on the rovers. The 1950s Disney documentary is also entertaining. This DVD is good family viewing.
