Standard IMAX docu fare: a few talking heads, some lush narration, and a whole heap of impressive visuals.

Product Description:
Follow the adventures of NASA's rovers Spirit and Opportunity as the robotic vehicles explore the surface of Mars and transmit images back to Earth. With a score by Philip Glass (THE HOURS, NOTES ON A SCANDAL) and an introduction by Paul Newman, ROVING MARS recounts the preparation behind the rovers' seven months in space and its Mars landing in January 2004. The mission is illustrated in detail, with a mixture of actual footage, computer animation, and information provided by NASA scientists.
