Trailer for “Roving Mars” Documentary Online
Ever since I was a kid I’ve been fascinated by space travel and exploration. Of course, back in the 80’s there was a lot more excitement about this stuff, and NASA was doing a lot more manned missions and space shuttle launches. Now it seems like maybe they are trying to drum up public interest again, and here’s a new Disney-produced IMAX film to help do it. Roving Mars features images captured by the two Mars rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, along with interviews giving insight into the making of these rovers and information about the red planet itself. Produced by Frank Marshall (Raiders of the Lost Ark) and directed by George Butler (Pumping Iron), the movie clearly shows some breathtaking scenery. I’m sure it’s no For All Mankind, but what can I say… space documentaries rule. Check out the official website for more info, and watch the trailer below.

These Disney affiliated documentaries always concern me. I’m curious as to how much footage is CG or re-enacted and how much is actual rover footage.
