Want to spend time in space, and never have your feet leave the ground -- well, now you can!

Next month, comes the release of a new IMAX 3D documentary, offering moviegoers an extraordinary opportunity to observe Earth from the International Space Station.

Narrated by Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence, "A Beautiful Planet" is the latest eye-pleasing doc from IMAX filmmaker Toni Myers (Hubble 3D, Space Station 3D), who worked alongside NASA and was given never-before-seen footage captured by the crew of the International Space Station.

The 3D film will open exclusively in IMAX and IMAX 3D theaters on April 29th. In the meantime, you can watch the newly-released trailer, above.

synopsis:
A Beautiful Planet is a breathtaking portrait of Earth from space, providing a unique perspective and increased understanding of our planet and galaxy as never seen before. Made in cooperation with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the film features stunning footage of our magnificent blue planet -- and the effects humanity has had on it over time -- captured by the astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS). From space, Earth blazes at night with the electric intensity of human expansion -- a direct visualization of our changing world. But it is within our power to protect the planet. As we continue to explore and gain knowledge of our galaxy, we also develop a deeper connection to the place we all call home.
