takes you into space alongside the astronauts on the space shuttle. Share with them the delights of zero gravity while working, eating and sleeping in orbit around the Earth.

Theatrical report

The dream is alive is not the best space documentary you'll find anywhere and at 36 minutes you're not going to get a lot of educational information. In an Imax theatre it would've been pretty impressive but on your TV or computer there's not a lot to get hyped up about. There's better stuff elsewhere.
