Earthlight is awesome and beautiful w/incredibly sharp video of the the earth from space, including giant hurricanes, deserts, mountain ranges, cities at night, the moon rising and setting over the earth--and my favorite--those beautiful blue oceans. It's like getting the view that John Glenn had of our big beautiful blue earth on his recent space shuttle mission. The music is peaceful and relaxing without being sentimental. There are location subtitles in a whole bunch of languages, including Klingon!!! The brand new Earthlight Special Edition includes video & room shaking sound of a space shuttle lifting off with that cool crackling sound of NASA communicating with the astronauts in the background. I love to watch those thrusters gimble! This is not a movie--more like background video. It's awe-inspiring. There are cool features on the DVD, like menus that will take you to any part of the video you want and give you subtitles and map locators that track the shuttle's orbit. Plus, you can play the DVD on your computer as well as your DVD player. You can have the video albums or still photo albums play on a continuous loop. Very cool!
