Didn't Mom tell us that if you can't say anything good about someone, don't say anything at all? Is it possible that this is the most abused piece of advice in the history of man? Certainly there must be something good we can say about this waste of plastic...

I've got it! SAVE THE KEEP CASE! It'll make a good spare. (Sorry, Mom, it's the best I can do.)

I cannot leave this without adding this one point. The producers of this travesty obviously have no clue about what we are looking for in a space documentary. That much is clear. But the only coherent sequence in this mess was the Challenger tragedy. What were they thinking when they put it in this video? Not only is it totally out of place, it certainly should not have been used at the end! This is The Ultimate in bad taste!

The only thing the Amazon.com reviewer got wrong is the line, "Consider this disc a last resort,..." Don't even think about buying this DVD.

This thing must have been put together by the third-grade son of a NASA janitor. What a disorganized mish-mash, and an awful soundtrack to boot. Particularly abominable was the Dracula organ music playing as the ill-fated Challenger crew donned their helmets. Also ridiculous were the interactive extras with the juvenile spinning planets and the article on "Living in Space," where only food issues are addressed, the first paragraph not even mentioning that FOOD was the topic. "Need to be more convenient and tasty...." What, the astronauts? We borrowed this DVD from the library and sorely regretted it. We would never pay money for this garbage.

Unfortunately, this online review system does not allow the selection of 0 (ZERO) stars...cause that's what this title gets from me...it's not worthy of even one star!!! All of the other evaluations are correct. This title is a total waste of DVD media...and is not worth $5 or even 5 cents!

This is the worst DVD I have ever seen. It is atrocious. The best thing about this is the cover which makes you think you are getting quite a steal for your $5. You will be thoroughly disappointed. It is an embarassment not only to the people who made it but also to the companies who are selling it. If there were any ratings less than one star this would be the product that gets it.

That is the slogan....which I can't say is a complete lie. It IS onlysound and videos. and really bad sound at that. The music stars to repeat after a few minutes.The picture on the DVD cover made me think it had new footage, but I think the newest video was the Challenger vigeo. They spent like 10 minutes showing a sattelite being released. It just spun around and around and around........The only thing is good for is to throw in the air and shoot, like an old record. At least it'll be put out of it's misery...and the misery it causes other people.

This movie is SO bad, that you might consider buying it just for a good laugh. It's only $.... So, if you have a good sense of humor, and are able to laugh at stupid things, this is the DVD for you. Otherwise, I am sure that if you buy this DVD you won't even be able to watch the whole thing through even once.

This DVD gets a whopping ZERO STARS! WHY OH WHY does Amazon not allow a zero star rating?

Well I got what I paid for not a lot

This is without a doubt the worst DVD I've ever seen. There is no meaningful dialog. The music is of a very poor selection. The DVD's effects used in the menus and intermissions are extremely poor quality. Basically this movie is a scattered collection of NASA photos and film, with totally unrelated music playing in the FOREGROUND. That's it. There is no information given. Don't bother wasting your money on this space DVD. You'll have a hard time giving it away once you own it. I doubt you'll be able to stomach it for more than 15 minutes.

If you want a really good space experience check out "The BBC Presents THE PLANETS" which is quite good. Also "TO THE MOON" by NOVA is a 5 start production that is EXCELLENT! And for some breath taking space scenes check out "Destiny In Space" by IMAX. These are all excellent choices. Just spending 10 minutes of your day watching a clip of any of these films is far more rewarding than watching the entire "The Ultimate Space Experience" DVD. So don't think you are saving money purchasing this DVD. Think about it. 10 minutes of these other DVDs is better than this entire DVD. If you add up the minutes of enjoyment you'll get watching this DVD it amounts to ZERO. Is even a dollar worth ZERO minutes of enjoyment?

Don't pay more than $5 for this DVD. Even then, you will get EXACTLY what you pay for it. Would be good for children under age 10 (maybe), but is difficult to navigate, no narration or subtitles to help viewer understand what they are seeing. My advice: pass on this one. I didn't, and I wish I had my $5 back.
