Has anyone seen this and can comment on whether it is worthwhile or not? I saw it on the back of a bus this morning, thankfully I didn't get too excited and try to speed up to see more :P

Yeah I went and saw it over the weekend, was not to bad, bit short like all Planetarium movies, but enjoyable... and always enjoy the view of the night sky they do after the movie.

Worst point, really makes you want your own planetarium to relax and watch movies on lol.

Its been playing here in Perth for over a year, and when I was a presenter at Horizon (I stopped at the end of last year) I sat through it a number of times. I thought some of the visualisations were quite good, especially the asteroid crash sequence - what would have happened 65 million years ago - helps you understand how the whole planet could catch on fire. Yes, that's right, the whole planet.... And I liked the aurora sequence too. Its a good one to see at least once, I think. Robert Redford is not bad to listen too either.
