Isaac Asimov: Voyage to the Outer Planets & Beyond

About This Movie

So, there's this documentary from '86, 'Isaac Asimov: Voyage to the Outer Planets & Beyond.' It’s a fascinating ride through our solar system, narrated by the great Isaac Asimov himself. The blend of real NASA footage, stills, and computer animation is quite charming, even if it feels a bit dated now. Set to Holst’s 'The Planets,' it gives off this grand, almost poetic vibe that makes you feel the vastness of space. The pacing is slow, but it kind of works, letting you soak in the visuals. It’s not just about the sci-fi; it dives into Asimov’s thoughts on exploration, curiosity, and the universe. Definitely a unique piece in the documentary landscape.
